 What is Teeth Whitening?
Teeth whitening is a procedure that removes stains
and discoloration from teeth. Discoloration can be the
result of a combination of things: genetics, poor oral
hygiene, accidents, medication, the effects of aging,
smoking, or certain foods. Dr. Patel
can change all this and give you a "Movie Star" smile
within one hour.
Teeth that are discolored because of tetracycline
or excessive fluoride are not good candidates for
the whitening procedure. Whitening techniques will
only work for tetracycline staining if the discoloration
is very mild. Veneers are the
best solution for more severe tetracycline cases. Once you
reach our office, Dr. Patel will
let you know what the best solution for you is.
Tooth Whitening Procedure
First, we check the teeth for cavities as the whitening
gel can cause serious damage if it leaks into these areas.
If cavities are found, they must be repaired before tooth
whitening takes place. If there are no cavities, we will
begin the whitening process. Your teeth can be up to 9 shades
whiter in just about 1 hour. The process is quick, easy,
and comfortable. Under the supervision of Dr.
Patel, our whitening treatments
are completely safe and will not harm teeth or gums.
Our whitening lasts a long time. This means you will
experience very little whitening loss over time if you
maintain good dental habits.
