Teeth Whitening and Bleaching

Teeth whitening and bleaching are extremely easy treatments that provide dramatic results. A bright smile is a large component of a positive first impression. Discolored and stained teeth can make a smile look dull, have a negative effect on self-esteem, and cause embarrassment. Whitening the teeth restores a bright smile almost effortlessly. Teeth whitening and bleaching is performed at our Potomac dental office. Call today to schedule an appointment and be on your way to a stunning first impression.

Teeth whitening and bleaching works on the hard outer surface of the tooth called enamel. The tooth enamel is constantly in contact with any type of food or drink that is consumed. Red wine, coffee, and tea are some of the worst stain causing beverages. Cigarette smoking will also cause yellow or brown staining of the teeth. Stains will stick to the plaque on the teeth. Professional teeth cleaning will remove plaque and therefore some of the stains as well, although it usually does not have the same dramatic effect of teeth whitening or bleaching.

There are two teeth whitening procedures:

-At home teeth whitening kits

-Laser whitening that is performed at a dental office

Teeth whitening kits may be purchased by the patient at a local drug store and typically have a milder peroxide solution. The peroxide solution is what whitens the teeth. The kits for home use may have trays or strips that hold the peroxide solution against the surface of the teeth for the necessary amount of time. At home whitening kits may also be prescribed by the dentist. The advantage of these prescription kits is that they may contain a more potent peroxide solution. Prescription kits may use custom fitted trays that provide a better fit to the teeth than over-the-counter kits. The dentist will monitor the use and results of these kits to ensure they are used in the proper manner. Prescribed kits often provide more dramatic results than the over-the-counter teeth whitening kits. All at home kits may need periodic touch ups to retain the bright white appearance of the teeth.

In office teeth whitening uses a gel containing a peroxide whitening agent. Bleaching is intensified by a high intensity laser light. The dentist isolates the teeth from the gums prior to applying the whitening gel. The high intensity laser then enhances the function of the whitening gel with no discomfort to the patient. The laser is not damaging and will not be felt by the patient. This in office teeth whitening is a solution for patients experiencing teeth sensitivity as it can be carefully monitored by the dentist and the sensitive gums are not exposed to the whitening agent. Talk with your dentist if you have sensitivity prior to the teeth whitening as the procedure may need to be adjusted.

Zoom Teeth Whitening

Zoom In-office teeth whitening takes only one hour to make your teeth 9 shades brighter. At our Rockville office we use a gel containing a whitening agent and laser light. This is a great method of teeth whitening for sensitive teeth, as the process may be very closely monitored by the dentist. The teeth are isolated from the lips and gums by a barrier, and then a bleaching gel is applied to them. A laser is also used to accelerate and enhance the teeth whitening process.

Side Effects

Although the teeth whitening procedure is typically painless, there may be some sensitivity of the gums and teeth during and after the procedure. This sensitivity is generally mild and can be alleviated some by avoiding very cold or hot food and beverages. Be sure to tell your dentist if you are experiencing any sensitivity prior to the teeth whitening procedure as he/she may modify the procedure accordingly.

Is whitening right for you?
There is no whitening solution for most dental work such as composite white fillings, dental crowns, porcelain veneers, and partial or full dentures. Performing whitening on artificial components usually require their replacement after the procedure so if you doing whitening you committing to replacing them. Your gums must also be healthy and any decay must be treated since both of these can be a cause of sensitivity during whitening treatments. Teeth whitening is not recommended for children whose teeth are still developing or for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Whitening can get your smile looking its best. Non-professional homemade procedures and clinically unproven teeth whitening tips can often lead to unsatisfactory results, you should look for a whitening procedure that is:

-Fast and convenient
-Long lasting
-Low sensitivity
-Proven to be safe and effective
