Teeth whitening in Atlanta GA is a cosmetic dental procedure that removes
staining and discoloration from your teeth. The causes of
tooth discoloration are many, but the most common include
smoking, poor oral hygiene, eating beverages or foods that
can stain teeth, aging, certain medications, trauma, and
genetics.
Whether you have stains from coffee, tea, wine, or aging,
there are many options for teeth whitening. The
prosthodontist may recommend over-the-counter products like
whitening strips, gels, or toothpastes. However, these
products are typically less effective than professional
teeth whitening treatments.
Professional teeth whitening uses a stronger whitening
solution than over-the-counter options and produces much
better, longer-lasting results. In-office whitening
treatments use a light to speed up the whitening process,
but at-home treatments use custom-made whitening trays that
mold to your teeth to evenly distribute the whitening
solution.
Laser Teeth Whitening in Atlanta GA
Laser teeth whitening is one of the most effective ways to
brighten your teeth. The laser can remove tough stains from
your teeth, revealing a whiter smile. However, this is not
the only benefit of laser teeth whitening. The laser can
also be used to reshape the teeth. If you have teeth that
are crooked, misaligned, or misshapen, laser teeth whitening
can help.
In-office Teeth Whitening
When you choose in-office teeth whitening, the
prosthodontist will first clean your teeth. Then, they will
apply a bleaching gel to the teeth. This gel is applied by
using a special light or laser to enhance the whitening
process. Your teeth will then be monitored for 20 to 40
minutes while the gel works. After 20 to 40 minutes, the gel
is removed, and your teeth are rinsed.
At-home Teeth Whitening
At-home teeth whitening treatments are affordable and
available everywhere. This means most people can whiten at
home.
At-home teeth whitening products use either hydrogen
peroxide or carbamide peroxide to whiten teeth. Whitening
gels and strips can be purchased from most drugstores.
Custom-fitted whitening trays are only available from a
dental office.
You should consult with our prosthodontist before using an
at-home whitening product. They can help you choose the
products that are best for you.
The whitening can last for up to two years, and even longer
in some cases. Your teeth will darken over time, but you can
always come in for another treatment to whiten them back
up.
