You want a beautiful smile just as much as anyone but it's hard to keep your teeth sparkling. At Madera Family Dental Care, Dr. Ahmed ELSayed offers his Madera, CA, patients a variety of services to rejuvenate their smiles including teeth whitening.
What is teeth whitening?
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic procedure that lightens and brightens yellowed or stained teeth by several shades.
Types of teeth whitening procedures
There are three ways to remove stains off teeth:
- In-office teeth whitening requires patients to visit Dr. ELSayed's office. This is a quick process because it takes only an hour. Your dentist uses retractors to keep soft tissue away from teeth while he applies a strong teeth-whitening gel on teeth to remove stains. This is the fastest and most effective type of teeth whitening.
- Professional take-home kit your dentist gives you. It has everything you need to get a professional strength whitening treatment at your convenience. The take-home method requires multiple 30-minute sessions so it takes a little longer to achieve the same bright results.
- Over-the-counter teeth whitening kits are another option. They're not as strong or as safe as the options provided by your Madera, CA, dentist. These kits tend to take much longer and can't whiten your teeth as many shades as the professional strength treatments. They are also not as regulated for safety standards.
What are the benefits of professional teeth whitening?
- Impressive Results: Professional teeth whitening results in teeth that are three to eight shades whiter in one session.
- Quick Results: In-office professional whitening takes only one hour but you can always return for additional sessions.
- Versatility: You have the advantage of choosing an in-office procedure or home care, which is convenient for people who work all week or have a hectic schedule.
