If you’ve been prey to tooth plaque or have witnessed a tint of lemonish color staining your teeth, you’ll agree that the teeth whitening treatment is a blessing in the domain of dentistry. There are so many people out there paying bundles for whiter and brighter teeth. And surprisingly, it’s helping them too. Because your smile makes you not just attractive but also approachable. And thus, a bright and shiny smile is absolutely important for you.
So, what is teeth whitening exactly?
Be tuned in to know all about teeth whitening.
Teeth whiteningprocedure involves teeth bleaching that makes them lighter and whiter. But don’t fall prey to false promises. The procedure can only lighten the present colour of your teeth by several shades. At Natural Smiles, we strive to make teeth whitening as effective and promising as we can. However, our dentists don’t promise you miraculously white teeth. We promise you that your teeth would lighten gradually and effectively, but not magically.
You might have noticed while brushing, a light layer of yellowish plaque on your teeth. It occurs because of excessive consumption of tea, coffee, alcohol, or cigarettes. We are not asking you to stop drinking tea or coffee, but to keep your teeth white, you must have some control over the number of cups you consume each day.
And if that does not work for you, then you can always sign up for the teeth whitening treatment. It will help remove the stains from your teeth and brighten your teeth by making them a few shades lighter.
Make sure that your teeth whitening treatment is carried out by a professional dentist only, which will help avoid any side-effects. Don’t get lured by unregistered salons or dental care units; your teeth are your most precious asset, and you should be very careful with them.
Here at Natural Smiles, we have well-trained and qualified dentists, who conduct the teeth whitening procedure with precision and ensure that the patient is completely satisfied by the end of it. They suggest you about your oral health and make you comfortable with the treatment before actually conducting it on your teeth.
If you are reading this, you are already on your way to sign up for teeth whitening. However, you must always consult a trusted dentist before you get the treatment.
Don’t feel shy asking any number of questions from your dentist because you deserve to know what treatment will be conducted on your teeth and what results in you can expect. At Natural Smiles, we ensure that our dentists make the patients aware of the expected results prior to the treatment.
You must ask the dentist about the side-effects, increasing the sensitivity of your teeth,, or any other risks that may be involved with regards to teeth whitening.
At Natural Smiles, we have a well-structured procedure of teeth whitening. Here is a step-by-step description of how we conduct this procedure:
Firstly we willbook your consultation with our dentist. The consultation will take half an hour or one hour, and will help you decide what kind of treatment you need. The dentist will examine your teeth and suggest the level of teeth whitening you will require.
The dentist will take an impression of your teeth and prepare a mouthguard of it.
You will be given a bleaching gel and the mouthguard for home so that you can regularly apply the gel for a certain period. You must do this for 2-4 weeks before the results start to show. Some whitening gels are highly effective, and when left on the teeth for more than 8 hours a day, they shorten your treatment time to only 1 week. However, this depends on the type of gel your dentist provides you.
After the completion of the treatment, you will be required to re-visit the doctor and get it checked.
Another slightly faster method conducted by our dentists is power whitening. Here’s how it’s done:
A trained dentist will conduct a one-hour-long session which will include bleaching your teeth with a bleaching gel and an activator light.
Using the bleaching gel will help lift stains from your teeth, and the activator light will help make your teeth up to 7 shades lighter. In only one whitening session, you’ll notice a drastic change in the color of your teeth.
Every treatment has its own pros and cons. Of course, the pros mainly include the successful completion and sustenance of the treatment. It’s the cons that one worries about.
Teeth whitening dentists, at Natural Smiles, advise the patients to take special care of their gums and teeth after the treatment. This is because gums tend to get highly sensitive whenever any type of treatment is conducted on the teeth. When chemicals are applied to the teeth, there are high chances that you will notice a certain level of sensitivity for the next few weeks. It will prevail even more if you already have sensitive teeth.
Sometimes, gums tend to give out a burning sensation right after the completion of the treatment. This happens because some chemicals don’t suit your gums. However, there’s a solution to everything.
At our dental care, we ensure that our patients leave the clinic only when they are completely satisfied and comfortable post the treatment. We suggest they use a special toothpaste to combat the sensitivity issue. Besides, we suggest the correct ways to brush their teeth to keep them white for long.
It’s vital for you to know that teeth whitening is not a permanent solution. You will be required to make certain changes to your food and beverage consumption to sustain it.
