What Teeth Whitening Can Do For You
Over time, your teeth can become discolored for several reasons, such as:
- Drinking coffee
- Drinking red wine
- Eating foods with artificial colors
- Using tobacco products
Professional teeth bleaching is a safe and effective method for removing these stains. Before a procedure, you will have a full dental examination. If your teeth are in good condition, you may proceed with treatment.
The Teeth Bleaching Process
Before chairside bleaching, a rubber shield will be placed in your mouth to protect your gums and other tissues. Dr. Yousefi will then coat the surface of your teeth with a bleaching agent. The solution will be left on your teeth for around 30 to 60 minutes depending on the agent and the level of whitening you require. When enough time has passed, your teeth will be rinsed to remove all trace of the whitening solution.
Dr. Yousefi recommends at least two office visits to get the best results. If your teeth are brown-colored from smoking or grey-colored from using antibiotics, you will likely need several more sessions to whiten your teeth.
