Professional Teeth Whitening from Your Cosmetic Dentist in Chester, VA
If you’re self-conscious about yellowed or stained teeth, you’ll be excited to know that we offer a safe way to get a smile that is several shades lighter in as little as an hour without harming your gums. There are many reasons for tooth discoloration, and some types of stains can be more easily removed.
Reasons for tooth discoloration that may not respond to home whitening treatments because they originate from inside the tooth, include:
- Infection
- Aging
- Medication
- Childhood illness
- Tooth trauma
However, professional teeth whitening treatments may help.
Stains that affect the exterior of the tooth only can be easier to remove and can be a result of:
- Drinking beverages such as coffee, tea, and red wine that have intense color pigments
- Using tobacco, which has tar and nicotine that create stubborn stains
Simple and affordable, teeth whitening is an effective way to improve the appearance of your smile. At Felton Dentistry, we offer in-office and take-home, custom whitening trays for your convenience.
If you’re looking for a cosmetic dentist in Chester, VA, or surrounding areas, feel free to contact us to schedule a consultation.
Teeth whitening is a popular cosmetic dental procedure, but you might wonder if you should get your teeth professionally whitened or just do an at-home whitening treatment.
Both can be an effective way to improve the look of your teeth, but there are a few distinct differences between the two options.
At-home treatments can come in a variety of forms, from whitening trays or gel strips, to rinses or toothpastes. While these methods are easy to use and typically inexpensive, they won’t give you as good of results as a professional whitening treatment. The at-home trays and gel strips are not custom-fit to your teeth and the rinses and toothpastes will require multiple applications to achieve the same results as one professional-grade treatment.
Professional whitening can eliminate all the hassle in just one treatment. Custom trays and a higher grade (stronger) solution make a professional whitening treatment more effective. Under the supervision of a licensed dental professional, you’ll receive a more thorough, impressive result.
The first thing our dental team will do before your teeth whitening treatment is to record the current shade of your teeth. Next, we’ll clean your teeth to remove any plaque or debris. Then the whitening solution is applied.
Our teeth whitening treatment removes built-up stains and reverses tooth discoloration using hydrogen peroxide. The peroxide creates a chemical reaction that breaks up the stains on the teeth with the help of lasers to activate the peroxide. With just a one-hour treatment, you’ll enjoy long-lasting results. If you’re looking for an even whiter shade, you may choose to schedule future appointments to achieve the look you desire.
While teeth whitening can be one of the best cosmetic dental procedures to achieve a brighter smile, it may not be for everyone. This is especially true if you have sensitive teeth, decay on your teeth, gum infection, or dental work such as veneers on the front of the teeth. Speak to our expert dentists to determine what’s best for your specific situation.
Our friendly cosmetic dentists in Chester, VA, look forward to whitening your smile soon!
