What You Need to Know
Reasons to Consider Teeth Whitening in Airdrie
Professional teeth whitening can help brighten teeth affected by everyday staining or natural changes over time. You may consider whitening if you have stains from coffee, tea, wine, or tobacco, darkened teeth with age, or uneven colouring. It can also be a great way to refresh your smile before a wedding, graduation, interview, or special event.
Dentist Teeth Whitening vs. Over-the-Counter Products
There are a number of benefits of getting teeth whitening done at your general dentist:
The teeth-whitening product offered by a dentist is stronger, and you’ll get better results faster. Dentists create a customized whitening tray to ensure that every angle of every tooth (straight or not!) receives even and consistent coverage.
What Does it Involve?
At your first visit with Dr. Parsa, she will sit down with you to discuss your teeth whitening options, including whether you can use other options such as cosmetic bonding, porcelain veneers or dental crowns. Should you choose a professional take-home kit, we will take impressions of your teeth and fabricate a custom tray. It takes approximately five business days to create your tray.
Can Teeth Whitening Cause Sensitivity?
Some sensitivity is possible and not uncommon with whitening treatments. The sensitivity is usually temporary, and you can wait longer between treatment times until it diminishes. When whitening is done through us, we can also provide products that help. We can also offer suggestions for foods that may help if you are feeling discomfort.
How Does Teeth Whitening Work?
As we age, the outer layer of our teeth (the enamel) can darken, and things like coffee, tea, wine, and smoking can stain them. These stains don’t go away unless you actively remove them. Teeth whitening gel works by temporarily opening the pores in your teeth and gently lifting the stains.
The Canadian Dental Association recommends bleaching under a dentist’s care over store-bought products. If you have fillings, root canal treatment, crowns, or extremely dark stains, consulting a dentist is particularly important, as they can explain the limitations of the kits and discuss whether other methods might be more suitable for whitening your smile.
Benefits of Professional Teeth Whitening
You can find plenty of whitening strips, toothpastes, and kits at the store, but professional whitening offers several advantages.
Did You Know?
We take our sterilization very seriously. Every sterilization cycle is tagged and logged in our system as we scan it and enter it into our computers for reference. We carefully follow the guidelines set by the Provincial Laboratory of Alberta.
Customized to your teeth
Your trays are created specifically for your mouth, helping the whitening solution reach your teeth more evenly.
Professional guidance
Before whitening begins, we can check for cavities, gum concerns, restorations, or other factors that could affect your treatment.
Predictable application
Instead of relying on one-size-fits-all trays, your custom trays are designed to fit closely around your teeth.
Support for sensitivity
Some sensitivity can occur during whitening. If it does, we can recommend changes to your whitening schedule or products to help keep you comfortable.
Realistic expectations
Some stains respond better than others. We can explain what whitening can accomplish before you begin rather than leaving you guessing.
