Is Teeth Whitening Right for Me?
If you want to brighten your smile in one appointment, in-office teeth whitening may be an ideal option. Before getting professional teeth whitening, we will assess your teeth and gums to determine that they are healthy enough for a cosmetic procedure. Then, your dentist will discuss your concerns, goals, and treatment options. Professional teeth whitening can produce dramatic results by minimizing stains deep within your natural teeth. Considered an advantage compared to store-bought whitening products, your teeth whitening at MINT dentistry will be personalized to match your goals.
How Does In-Office Whitening Work?
In-office teeth whitening at MINT dentistry is performed in our luxurious treatment rooms. Although in-office whitening does not require dental anesthesia, sedation alternatives may be available if you have a sensitive gag reflex or severe dental anxiety. Your teeth must be cleaned and dried before the treatment so the whitening solution can be applied evenly. Afterward, a protective covering will be placed over your gums, and your eyes will be protected using special glasses. A member of our Newport, KY staff will apply a professional-strength gel to your teeth and expose your teeth to our teeth whitening light. The mix of this gel and the light helps to fade stains in the enamel. Based on your existing enamel shade and desired result, this procedure may be done 2 – 3 times. Once your procedure is complete, the rest of the gel and protective gum barrier will be removed before your teeth are rinsed.
Maintain Your Teeth Whitening Results
After your teeth whitening procedure, you should be able to leave and return to your regularly scheduled day unless sedation medication was used. However, you should stay away from anything that may stain your teeth (coffee, lipstick, tobacco products) for at least two days after your treatment. You will experience some sensitivity to cold and hot, but this will only last for 3 – 5 days. To maintain your results, you should brush your teeth whenever possible after consuming staining food and beverages in addition to tobacco products. You should follow a daily oral hygiene routine at home, including cleaning and flossing to prevent new stains. Dental cleanings twice per year at our Newport, KY practice will also help to reduce new stains to help keep your teeth looking brilliant. If you want to renew your results in a few years, you may schedule another professional whitening procedure or ask a MINT dentistry staff member about other whitening options.
