Whitening
Professional teeth whitening is faster, more effective, and longer lasting that treatments you find over the counter. As we age, our teeth darken over time. We can brighten your teeth by five to ten shades in a single session, but maintaining good oral hygiene and steering away from certain foods and beverages will help keep any future whitening services to a minimum.
In-office Whitening
In office whitening is a great way to quickly improve the overall appearance of you teeth. Great if you have a wedding or important event to attend. Dr Vismans will evaluate your teeth to make sure you are a good candidate for whitening and let you know what kind of results you can expect. All whitening procedures will make teeth temporarily more sensitive so we may recommend certain adjunctive products to help minimize the symptoms.
Procedure:
Thorough cleansing and polishing of teeth
Application of gum protectant
Application of whitening agent
Whitening agent is left on teeth for several minutes
Teeth and gums are rinsed
Things to avoid:
Tobacco products
Coffee and tea
Red wine
Food coloring
Any bright-colored drinks
Whitening Trays
Whitening Trays are a great way to touch up your whitening results periodically. We will take impressions of your teeth and make custom flexible retainers for your teeth. Usually over a period of about 2 weeks, you can wear the trays for 30-45 minutes a day, and your teeth will gradually whiten. This is an easy and cost effective way to maintain a bright, white smile.
