Inverness Family Dentistry: Tooth Whitening
A bright, clean smile not only contributes to a youthful appearance, but it gives you the confidence to flash your pearly whites and present a friendly demeanor. If you want to let your sunny personality shine, but your teeth are yellow or discolored, you’ll find effective and affordable solutions with Inverness Family Dentistry’s tooth whitening services in Englewood.
Professional tooth whitening involves any of several different products and techniques designed to visibly brighten your smile by addressing yellowing, staining, or other forms of discoloration. With access to materials that are stronger than over-the-counter, at-home whitening products, we offer more effective solutions that deliver immediate results.
If you’re interested in tooth whitening, all you have to do is talk to the knowledgeable and friendly team at Inverness Family Dentistry. We’re happy to explain your options and help you choose the best products and procedures for your particular needs and preferences.
Effective Englewood Tooth Whitening
At Inverness Family Dentistry, we offer custom trays for at-home tooth whitening. What does at-home bleaching entail?
At-Home Tooth Whitening
If you’re interested in an easy way to achieve and maintain a whiter smile at home, you may prefer our at-home tooth whitening solutions. We’ll start by taking molds of upper and/or lower teeth to create custom whitening trays that fit you perfectly.
Next, we’ll provide a strong peroxide gel that can be added to trays, which you can wear for short times each day over the course of several days or weeks. You can always request additional products later on for touch-up treatments.
Other at-home products may include strips, rinses, or gels that are applied with a brush. The knowledgeable team at Inverness Family Dentistry can help you understand all your options and choose the right method to reach your goals.
Why You Might Need Tooth Whitening
Over time, it’s natural for teeth to lose the bright, white quality common to youth. Even with dedicated brushing, flossing, and rinsing with mouthwash, teeth will start to yellow as you age.
Your diet can also play a role in staining and discoloration. Beverages like coffee, tea, and wine that contain known staining agents are common culprits in tooth discoloration, as are dyes found in some food items. Habits like tobacco use can also contribute to staining.
Whatever the cause, professional tooth whitening in Englewood could be the solution. While there are types of staining that may not be resolved by tooth whitening procedures (such as a dead tooth or discoloration from tetracycline), there are several options to explore to brighten your smile.
Benefits of a Brighter, Whiter Smile
With professional Englewood tooth whitening from Inverness Family Dentistry, you have the opportunity to enjoy instant gratification, with a brighter smile that improves your appearance and boosts your self-esteem. Many patients report feeling more comfortable and confident in social situations following tooth whitening, and they smile more often as a result.
Even better, the right treatment could promote better oral health. Some treatments help to kill bacteria responsible for causing gum disease and tooth decay, and any time you whiten teeth, you’re more likely to devote yourself to good oral care and preserve the results of your treatment.
Potential Side Effects of Tooth Whitening
Professional tooth whitening in Englewood is a safe and effective way to brighten your smile, and many patients experience no side effects at all from the procedure. However, it is possible to experience mild side effects, most commonly temporary sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures.
This side effect typically only lasts for a few days following treatment. If you’re using the at-home bleaching option, you can simply reduce treatment time. You may also experience reduced sensitivity when using specialized toothpaste like Sensodyne.
In some cases, tooth whitening products or procedures may cause gum irritation or damage tooth enamel. This is generally the result of overuse or using a product incorrectly. Before you start at-home tooth whitening, be sure you understand how to properly use all products, so you can enjoy the greatest benefits while avoiding potential side effects.
Advantages of Choosing Professional Tooth Whitening in Englewood
While you can certainly try over-the-counter whitening products, you’ll find that professional tooth whitening services deliver several advantages. For one thing, the team at Inverness Family Dentistry has access to professional-strength products that are far more effective than the average whitening kit you can find in a pharmacy.
Our products and procedures are not only safe and effective, but they offer quicker and more noticeable results. We only use reliable products, and professional assessment and recommendations ensure that you can choose the best options for your particular needs and goals.
Plus, treatments are customized to each patient. Generic bleaching trays can be uncomfortable and ill-fitting, which could lead to uneven coverage, as well as bleaching products that touch gums and cause irritation. With custom trays and expert direction, you can avoid the most common potential side effects of tooth whitening and enjoy beautiful and lasting results.
Is Tooth Whitening Right for Me?
If you avoid social situations and hide your smile because of embarrassing discoloration, tooth whitening services in Englewood could improve your appearance and your confidence. However, these treatments might not be ideal for every patient.
Whitening agents can irritate teeth and gums in patients dealing with gum recession, and whitening procedures maybe not be recommended for patients with tooth decay or gum disease. Treating these and other oral health concerns before tooth whitening can help to ensure greater success and satisfaction. Patients with sensitivity to hot or cold could benefit from using a product like Sensodyne during treatment, or they may wish to forego whitening.
It’s also important to understand that tooth whitening products and procedures do not work on fillings, crowns, and implants, and are not recommended for all types of staining. The professionals at Inverness Family Dentistry are always happy to discuss your options, which could include a combination of treatments to achieve the brighter smile you crave. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, you may want to delay whitening treatment.
