One of the first things people notice about you when they first meet you is the whiteness and brightness of your smile. If you smoke or drink foods that can cause stains, your smile can become dingy and dark in color, and keep you from putting your best face forward. A dentist can professionally whiten your teeth and help restore the luster of your smile in just one appointment.
Don’t let your smile cause you anxiety and make you feel self conscious, when you can easily and affordably get the white bright smile you deserve. The following are what you should expect during your whitening appointment. Having this knowledge ahead of time can make your appointment go more smoothly and reduce your anxiety.Initial ExamBefore the dentist will perform the Whitening of teeth procedure, they will need to examine your mouth to make sure you are healthy enough for the procedure.
They will make sure your teeth and gums are strong enough to handle the whitening chemicals, and discuss what your end result will be prior to starting the application of the whitening chemical.Whitening ProcedureDuring the procedure, the dentist will clean the surface of your teeth, and then apply the whitening gel using a device similar in shape and texture to a toothbrush. After the chemical is applied, they will then expose your teeth to an ultraviolet light so the whitening chemical can be activated. You should plan on the procedure taking up to an hour to complete.
After CareOnce the Whitening of teeth procedure is completed, the dentist will make sure the results are consistent on all of your teeth. They will then send you home with gel trays and an at-home gel that will need to be applied every day, for at least 30 minutes. You simply rinse the gel away and brush as normal. This will extend the life of your whitening results, and make your smile bright for months to come. If you are ready to take charge of your smile, make sure you contact a professional dentist.
