How can I have whiter teeth?
At our office, we offer both a one-hour in-office whitening procedure, and an at-home whitening system, both from Rembrandt. If you’re interested in finding out how this procedure could help you obtain a brighter, lighter smile, Dr. Whittington will first evaluate your potential based on the current color of your teeth, and the causes of any discoloration. Once you and the doctor have decided on the most appropriate method, we’ll simply take you through the process. With our one-hour in-office system, most patients can expect to end up with teeth approximately 8 shades brighter on the dental shade chart; the at-home system may have similar results, but may take 4 to 6 weeks.
Dentist-supervised teeth whitening is one of the simplest, safest ways to immediately improve the impact of your smile! So, if you’re interested in finding out what whitening could do for you, we’ll first evaluate your potential for based on the current color of your teeth, and the causes of any discoloration. We’ll then recommend that you start by using our at-home supervised program, which we’ll tailor to suit your individual needs. After this process is complete, we may also recommend a follow-up one-visit intensive treatment at our office to bring your teeth to their lightest possible shade. Just ask for a consultation on this and we’ll get you started!
These days, there are several options for patients desiring whiter, brighter teeth. We offer the Rembrandt smile whitening system in our office. We use the Rembrandt Sapphire Light in conjunction with the Lightening Gel, which has been clinically proven to whiten teeth an average of 10 shades in one hour. This is one visit procedure. We also offer the Opalescence Take-Home whitening kit. Preloaded thin membrane trays that fit comfortably and can be worn once a day for 30- 60 minutes.
There are a number of procedures available to help whiten your smile, from at-home bleaching products to in-office supervised treatments. We can help evaluate your potential for whitening your teeth, based on their current color and the causes of any discoloration. Once we’ve helped you decide on the most appropriate method, you’ll probably spend anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks undergoing a series of simple whitening treatments.
