A bright smile is a confident smile. Luckily, for many people, a brighter smile is just an office visit away! Advancements in dental care provide an array of options to deliver dazzling results. Dr. Rene Polis will be happy to discuss which tooth whitening procedure is best for you.
Top Cosmetic Dental Treatments Include:
.: Whitening – Teeth become discolored over time due to any number of reasons; among them are staining agents such as tea, coffee, and tobacco. The teeth whitening procedure is the most commonly prescribed treatment to correct discoloration by removing the staining and improving the brightness of the teeth. The whitening process can be performed in our office or by you in the privacy of your own home utilizing materials provided by our staff.
When you choose the home teeth whitening system, the dentist will create a custom mouth tray. The tray, critical to the effectiveness of the system, ensures the prescribed amount of solution is used and is evenly distributed on the patient’s teeth. Each whitening session will last between two and three hours, depending on your needs, and will cover a two to three week period.
It is important to remember that teeth whitening is not permanent and may need to be repeated every couple of years.

What Is The At-Home Bleaching Process?

First, we will make impressions of your teeth so that our lab can create custom bleaching trays to fit your mouth. These trays will guide the bleaching agent to the areas of your teeth that need to be bleached. We will record the current color of your teeth to help you monitor your progress. |

Next, we will fit your custom trays in your mouth to ensure they feel comfortable. We will instruct you on how to apply the bleaching agent to your trays and how to insert them into your mouth. You will take the custom trays and bleaching agent home with you. Some patients wear the bleaching trays at night while they sleep, but they may be worn during the day since the clear, custom-fitted trays are barely visible and do not interfere with your ability to speak. |

When Will I See Results?
|
|
Immediately! Most patients see results after the first treatment. It will typically take from 2 to 6 weeks to restore your teeth to a beautiful white. The time it will take depends on the original color of your teeth, how discolored they were, and how frequently the treatment is applied. |
How Long Will The Results Last?
The effects typically last several years. Many patients choose to "touch-up" their teeth every 6 to 12 months by applying the treatment once or twice. "Touch-ups" are especially useful for patients that drink beverages that stain teeth, like coffee, tea, and colas.
Are There Any Side-Effects?
Some patients may experience heightened tooth sensitivity to cold, or mild tooth or gum sensitivity during treatment, but these symptoms are only temporary and disappear within a few days. |
