Have you been holding back your smile for a long time due to your dull and discolored teeth? Teeth staining is common due to various causes that include improper brushing and flossing, excessive consumption of colored foods and beverages, chewing tobacco, or smoking cigarettes. These stains can now be removed easily using our customized teeth whitening solutions.

Conventional teeth whitening

Conventional teeth whitening has been the go-to solution for the people who think of methods to whiten their teeth due to its effectiveness and affordability. The process is quite simple and doesn’t take up a lot of your time. However, patients need to satisfy a few conditions to qualify as candidates for teeth whitening. Some of the factors looked into are the presence of dental restorations, cavities, receding gum line, hypersensitivity in the teeth, etc. 

During the teeth whitening procedure, a rubber dam will be placed on your teeth to cover the soft gum tissues. The whitening gel will then be applied to the teeth, and each tooth will be coated evenly, as this provides a consistent level of whitening. After leaving it on the teeth for a few minutes, the dentist will rinse it off with water. If the severity of staining is too high, we may have to repeat the procedure multiple times to achieve a better whitening level.

Take-home whitening kits

Some patients may not like spending long hours in the dental chair and would instead prefer to get their teeth whitened in the comfort of their homes. We offer teeth whitening services for such patients with our customized take-home whitening kits. When you arrive at the dental practice for the consultation, we will take precise digital impressions of your teeth and use them as a reference to fabricate teeth whitening trays from dental-grade plastic. You can take them home and use them whenever you please. The procedure is quite simple - clean the teeth thoroughly, apply a small amount of whitening gel in the trays, spread it evenly, and place it on the teeth. After a few minutes, the trays can be taken off, and the gel can be rinsed off. Depending on the severity of dullness, you may need to repeat the procedure multiple times.

Laser whitening

Using a laser to activate a whitening gel helps speed up the procedure and renders impressive results. We use a photosensitive whitening gel for this purpose, which produces a foam upon activation. The results are known to last for a long time, which is why it is highly preferred. Individuals with a busy schedule can immensely benefit from this as the procedure can be completed in a very short period.
