Any tooth that’s experienced trauma or severe tooth decay may be restored with a custom-made crown. Teeth whitening is a simple, effective way to change the color of your natural teeth and improve the beauty of your smile. There are several different methods for whitening teeth. However, one of the simplest options is to undergo a professional whitening procedure from the cosmetic dental experts at Crestview Family Dental.
Many factors can contribute to tooth discoloration. Some of the most include:
Other potential factors, like genetics and age, can’t be controlled.
If you aren’t happy with the color of your teeth, discuss your options with the dental team at Crestview Family Dental. We may recommend a professional cleaning before you use certain whitening products to ensure that you get the best results.
Most patients over 16 who are in good health and have no significant conditions are candidates for professional whitening. Dr. Bindra will evaluate your health history and overall oral health to determine whether this service is right for you. This assessment can be completed at a routine checkup or during a separate appointment.
An in-office professional treatment is your best option for brighter, whiter teeth. In-office whitening uses peroxide-based bleaching agents with higher percentages of the chemical to produce dramatic results. It’s important to note, however, that products with higher peroxide levels may cause sensitivity if applied too long.
Although every brand of in-office bleaching may have slightly different instructions, most follow a standard procedure:
Some patients see their teeth lighten two to three shades, while others have even more remarkable results.
