Everyone looks better with bright, white teeth, but few of us are able to maintain a sparkling smile for a lifetime. Starting each day with a cup of coffee, enjoying pasta with marinara sauce at dinner and ending the evening with a glass of red wine can all cause staining of your teeth, as can smoking and simply age. If you are looking to bring back the pearly white teeth of your youth, its time to visit Kitchener East Family Dental in Kitchener for a professional teeth whitening.
How does a professional teeth whitening compare to at-home methods?
You've likely seen, and maybe used, one of the many whitening kits on the market. Available over the counter at drug and superstores, these kits generally come with adhesive strips, gels in a tray or a paint-on solution. While likely effective at removing light staining, the concentration and percentage of peroxide, a powerful whitening agent, is far less than the solution we use for professional teeth whitening.
How does a professional teeth whitening work?
Our dentist will apply a hydrogen peroxide gel directly to your teeth, making sure to coat them evenly and thoroughly. To activate the whitening gel, we will shine a dental light on your teeth and let you relax for around an hour as the whitening effects take place.
Depending on the severity of your teeth staining or yellowness, we may advise you to come back to our Kitchener office for subsequent professional teeth whitening sessions.
