What is Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is a safe, non-invasive cosmetic treatment that brightens and removes stains from the surface of your teeth. Whether caused by coffee, tea, smoking, or aging, professional whitening treatments help you achieve a whiter, more radiant smile in just one session.
Benefits of Teeth Whitening
- Quick and Effective: Professional whitening offers immediate results, often lightening teeth several shades in a single visit.
- Safe for Teeth and Gums: Our whitening procedures are carefully administered to protect your teeth and gums, ensuring a comfortable experience.
- Boosts Confidence: A whiter smile can make you feel more confident and enhance your overall appearance.
- Long-Lasting Results: With proper care, professional whitening results can last longer than over-the-counter solutions.
What to Expect
The teeth whitening process typically involves applying a safe, high-concentration whitening gel to the teeth. A special light may be used to activate the gel, enhancing the whitening effect. The procedure usually takes about an hour, with visible results by the end of your visit.
Aftercare Tips
- Avoid staining foods and drinks, such as coffee, tea, and red wine, for at least 48 hours after treatment.
- Practice good oral hygiene with regular brushing and flossing to maintain your white smile.
- Consider touch-up treatments as recommended by your dentist to keep your teeth bright over time.
