Is Teeth Whitening Right for Me?
In-office teeth whitening is a modern cosmetic treatment that allows patients to whiten their smile in less than an hour. Before you have professional teeth whitening, we will ensure your teeth are healthy. Next, your dentist will listen to your goals and create your treatment plan. Professional teeth whitening can give you quick, impressive results by lightening stains deep within your natural teeth. Unlike over-the-counter whitening products, your professional teeth whitening treatment at our office will be personalized to match your goals.
How Does In-Office Whitening Work?
In-office teeth whitening at MINT dentistry is performed in one of our luxurious treatment rooms. This cosmetic treatment does not require any anesthesia, however, sedation techniques are available if you experience dental anxieties or have a strong gag reflex. Your teeth will need to be cleaned and dried before the procedure so that the whitening product can be applied evenly. Afterward, a protective covering will be put over your soft tissues, and your eyes will be protected with special glasses. A member of our Louisville, KY team will paint a professional-grade gel onto your teeth and expose your teeth to our advanced teeth whitening lamp. The blend of this gel and the light works to break down the discoloration in the tooth surfaces. Depending upon your existing enamel color and desirable result, this procedure might be completed 2 – 3 more times. Once your treatment is done, the remaining gel and gum barrier will be cleaned before your mouth is rinsed.
Maintain Your Teeth Whitening Results
You can return to your normal routine following your appointment, unless sedation was used. However, you should stay away from anything that may stain your teeth (coffee, lipstick, tobacco products) for at least 48 hours after your treatment. You will experience sensitivity to cold and hot, but this will only continue for 3 – 5 days. To keep the results, you need to brush your teeth as soon as possible after consuming staining food and beverages, as well as tobacco products. When at home, you should adhere to a daily oral hygiene routine, including cleaning and flossing to prevent stains. Professional cleanings twice a year at our Louisville, KY dental practice can also help minimize new stains to help keep your teeth bright. If you want to renew your results after a few years, schedule a second professional whitening treatment or ask a MINT dentistry staff member about home teeth whitening choices.
