There is no faster way to remove dental stains than in-office whitening. Not only does whitening treatment performed in the dentist’s office remove stains and discolorations, but it can also leave teeth several shades whiter in just one session. Dr. Kulbir Jassal and Dr. Joseph Robertson offer in-office teeth whitening at Glowing Smiles Dental in Troy, MI.
In-Office Teeth Whitening
It only takes about one hour to brighten teeth and remove dental stains with in-office teeth whitening at our Troy, MI, practice. We use a special whitening gel that contains a high concentration bleaching agent to quickly and safely whiten teeth. Additionally, results are immediate. At the end of your appointment, dental stains will be gone and your smile will be noticeably whiter.
Before beginning treatment, several steps are taken to protect sensitive areas from coming into contact with the whitening gel. The bleaching agent it contains could potentially irritate the lips or gums, for instance. A retractor device is used to hold the mouth open to make treatment easier and to prevent the bleaching agent from touching the lips. A protective barrier is used to cover the gums and tooth-root surfaces so they don’t come into contact with the bleaching agent either.
The next step is to carefully apply the whitening gel to the front surface of the teeth. The gel remains there for about an hour. During that time, the bleaching agent penetrates below the enamel to remove discolorations and stains. After an hour, the whitening gel is wiped off the teeth and your smile will be significantly whiter. Patients typically enjoy the results for several months or years. You can help your smile stay whiter longer by avoiding foods and drinks that stain, as well as by maintaining good oral hygiene.
Benefits of In-Office Whitening
There are numerous benefits to choosing in-office whitening over other options, such as do-it-yourself products that are purchased over-the-counter. Not only is in-office whitening the quickest way to brighten your smile; it is also the safest. Some over-the-counter products contain harsh and abrasive ingredients that can erode tooth enamel and leave teeth more vulnerable to infection or decay. Benefits of in-office whitening include:
- Removes dental stains and discolorations
- Whitens teeth faster than any other method
- Professional in-office whitening is safe
- Treatment is performed by trained dental professionals
- Effectively brightens a dull smile
- Results are long-lasting
