How Teeth Whitening Works
In cosmetic teeth whitening, chemicals break down stains on a patient’s teeth. Generally, the chemical used to do the brightening is hydrogen peroxide, an oxidizing agent that eventually breaks down into water and oxygen after being applied to the teeth. When the oxygen forms, it can penetrate the teeth’s enamel and layers of dentin, breaking down the stain molecules.
Oxygen helps to speed up the process of breaking down those stains, making them too small to see with the naked eye. Teeth whitening solutions sold at the dentist’s office are generally more effective than those sold over the counter, as professional strength solutions are given under the supervision of a dental professional.
When you receive a teeth whitening solution at Atlas Dental Specialists, you can rest assured you’re receiving a system tailored to your needs. Please contact our team if you’re interested in getting your teeth whitened safely and effectively, as our providers can ensure you only receive treatment that has been safely calculated and provided by your dental practitioner.
What Causes Teeth Discoloration?
Discolorations can be caused by staining, aging, or chemical damage to teeth. Common culprits for tooth discolorations include coffee, tea, wine, dark berries, and foods with added dyes.
Luckily, dental bleaching can be used to correct tooth discoloration.
Using the latest in bleaching technology, we can offer a safe method for creating a beautiful “brilliant” smile. In cases of extreme tooth discoloration, crowns or veneers may be the only choice, but because of the low cost of bleaching treatments, bleaching is nearly always worth a solid try.
What Are the Benefits of Professional Teeth Whitening?
Professional teeth whitening is safe, quick, and inexpensive. You can lighten only your upper teeth or both the upper and lower, depending on how much you show when you talk and smile.
In only a day or two, your custom bleach trays will be ready for you to pick up. We provide you with a special bleaching agent that you put into the clear trays. With only a few hours of wear per day, our special bleaching agent bubbles stains right out of your enamel in a very short time without altering tooth structure or existing dental work in any way.
When your teeth reach the desired brightness, only occasional treatment is needed to maintain your new smile. We’ll want to take “after” photos at your next appointment. Please contact our team at Atlas Dental Specialists if you want more information about teeth whitening and its myriad benefits. We look forward to hearing from you and helping you achieve your most beautiful and bright smile.
