The Benefits Of Professional Teeth Whitening
Enhanced Appearance
Professional teeth whitening can dramatically enhance your appearance. It can remove stubborn stains and discoloration, giving you a brighter, more attractive smile. A whiter smile can boost your self-confidence and make you feel more comfortable in social and professional settings.
Quick and Effective Results
One of the significant advantages of professional teeth whitening is the speed and effectiveness of the results. Unlike at-home whitening kits that can take weeks to show results, professional teeth whitening can lighten your teeth several shades in just one appointment. This makes it an excellent option for those who want instant results.
Customized Treatment
Professional teeth whitening treatments are customized to meet your specific needs. Dr. DeSimone will evaluate your oral health and the severity of your discoloration to determine the most effective whitening method for you. This personalized approach ensures optimal results and reduces the risk of sensitivity and other side effects.
The Professional Teeth Whitening Treatment Process
Initial Examination
The teeth whitening process begins with an initial examination. Dr. DeSimone will assess your oral health and discuss your whitening goals. This step is essential to ensure that you are a suitable candidate for professional teeth whitening and to determine the best whitening method for you.
Cleaning and Preparation
Once your suitability for the treatment has been confirmed, the next step is cleaning and preparation. This involves removing any plaque or tartar from your teeth and protecting your gums with a special barrier. This step ensures that the whitening agent can effectively penetrate your teeth for optimal results.
Whitening Procedure
The final step is the whitening procedure itself. Dr. DeSimone will apply a high-concentration whitening gel to your teeth. This gel is activated with a special light, which speeds up the whitening process. The gel is typically left on the teeth for about 15-20 minutes. After the gel is removed, you'll be left with a noticeably whiter and brighter smile.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does professional whitening damage enamel?
%402x%20(2).svg){kind=icon}
When performed under a dentist's supervision, professional teeth whitening in Winter Haven is considered safe and doesn't cause lasting damage to your enamel. Some patients notice temporary tooth sensitivity afterward, but this typically fades on its own within a short time.
How much does it cost?
In-office teeth whitening is one of the more affordable cosmetic treatments we offer, though your exact cost depends on your specific treatment plan. We're a fee-for-service practice, but we'll gladly submit claims for PPO insurance plans and offer financing through CareCredit and Proceed if you'd like to spread out the cost.
How long do results last?
Whitening results aren't permanent, since the same things that caused staining in the first place, like coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco, will gradually cause new discoloration to build back up. Because of this, many patients schedule occasional touch-up treatments to keep their smile bright.
Will I have tooth sensitivity?
Some patients do experience temporary tooth sensitivity after whitening, which happens when the whitening agent reaches the inner layer of the tooth, though it typically fades quickly on its own. If you already have sensitive teeth, mention it beforehand so your dentist can plan accordingly.
