Professional Teeth Whitening Services
To give you a brighter smile, we offer professional teeth whitening services, both at home and in our dental office. Over time, our teeth tend to turn yellow due to our food habits and lifestyle. A quick teeth whitening procedure can help you get rid of a stained smile in the blink of an eye. The materials used for the whitening procedure are completely safe and the results are very reliable. Our team of dentists will also guide you after the procedure to make sure that your newly whitened smile can last longer.
Can You Explain How A Teeth Whitening Procedure Works?
There are two primary types of whitening products: those containing peroxide bleaching agents and whitening toothpastes. In the category of peroxide bleaching agents, most systems use either carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide as the active ingredient. The concentration of these ingredients plays a key role in determining the strength, effectiveness, and safety of the whitening system. These systems work by initiating a chemical reaction between the bleaching agent and discolored molecules, breaking up and removing stains and discoloration.
Factors To Consider In Providing Care
At TRU Dentistry Austin, we specialize in the art and science of dentistry to create beautiful, healthy smiles. We understand the importance of your investment and strive to provide treatments that support good oral health while meeting your smile goals. Our office offers a range of advanced cosmetic dental services, and our team will help you choose the best option for your unique smile.
It's important to note that not all stains or discoloration respond equally to teeth whitening procedures. Teeth whitening only targets natural teeth and does not change the color of fillings, crowns, or bridges. Individuals with yellow-toned teeth typically see better results from whitening, while those with brown or grayish teeth may need more intensive treatments. Teeth whitening may not be suitable for those with sensitive teeth, worn enamel, or gum disease.
Our team will evaluate your smile and provide expert advice on whether teeth whitening is right for you. If not, we can recommend alternative cosmetic procedures for healthier and more effective results.
What To Expect And How To Care For Your Teeth After A Teeth Whitening Procedure?
Here are some suggestions for getting the most out of your teeth whitening treatment:
- Watch what you eat and drink after teeth whitening to avoid staining your teeth.
- Avoid smoking to prevent yellowing of your teeth and maintain a bright smile.
- Use pain medication and sensitive toothpaste if you experience discomfort after whitening.
- Understand that results may vary based on individual factors and that whitening does not affect existing dental work.
- Maintain good oral hygiene and consider touch-up treatments to keep your smile looking its best.
