How Teeth Whitening Works

Professional teeth whitening is the ideal way to bleach away stubborn stains and help you achieve a more beautiful, natural smile. Over time, your diet, lifestyle, and even health can cause your teeth to lose their natural brightness. Drinking tea, coffee, or red wine, eating richly pigmented foods, smoking and tobacco use, and taking certain medications can stain your teeth. Teeth whitening uses specially formulated peroxide-based bleaching agents to remove stains from your enamel, revealing a beautiful new smile.

East Cobb Family Dentistry offers both in-office whitening treatments and take-home kits. Here’s what you can expect when you decide to brighten your smile:

Consultation

First, you will visit your dentist for a cosmetic consultation. Your dentist will perform a cosmetic examination to assess the overall color and quality of your teeth, as well as discuss your desired results and treatment goals. Based on your needs, she will design a personalized treatment plan to help you achieve your best possible smile.

Whitening Treatment

Before your treatment, your dentist will make a record of your teeth’s current shade. Your teeth will then be polished to remove any plaque and ensure even results. Next, your teeth will be isolated with gauze to keep them dry. Retractors may also be used to keep your lips, cheeks, and tongue away from the treatment. A barrier is also placed along the gums to prevent irritation.

Beautiful Smiles

Finally, your teeth are coated with a peroxide-based whitening gel. The gel is applied and left on your teeth for 30-60 minutes. During this time, you can sit back and relax while the gel gets to work, breaking down stains from within your teeth and revealing a brighter, whiter, and more dazzling smile.

Whitening

Yes, but they contain weaker bleaching gels than the kinds of options available at your dentist's office. This is why over-the-counter and at-home whitening solutions take many uses over days or weeks to provide visible results. Buying drugstore alternatives such as whitening toothpaste, rinses, whitening strips, and kits can add up over time. A session with us in the office can provide instant results that may take weeks and multiple at-home treatments to achieve

Yes, teeth whitening is a safe procedure. Our peroxide-based bleaching treatments use specifically formulated ingredients that brighten teeth without causing irritation to your sensitive gums.

Generally, no, teeth whitening is a very comfortable procedure. You may experience some temporary sensitivity in your teeth after whitening. However, our team takes every precaution to minimize any discomfort you may feel.
