Professional teeth whitening is currently the most common cosmetic dental treatment/ If is affordable and effective and the results are long-lasting. Dr. Jonathan E. Greene is a dentist at Greene Dental Group in Norwich, CT. He is dedicated to providing excellent dental care to all his patients and can brighten your smile with in-chair whitening.
Why Choose Teeth Whitening
Over time, your teeth become stained by food and beverages, smoking, and aging. But that doesn’t mean you have to live with discolored teeth. But not all whitening treatments are equal. For example, home whitening kits are not as effective as in-chair whitening because they contain a weaker bleaching agent. Norwich dental patients find in-chair teeth whitening beneficial in the following ways:
- It is safer than home whitening kits.
- It produces even results on all teeth.
- It can whiten your teeth by up to eight shades.
- The results can last up to a year.
- It does not cause sensitive teeth or gums.
- It takes less than an hour.
Am I a Candidate for Teeth Whitening?
In-chair teeth whitening is not suitable if you have one of the following conditions:
- Hypersensitive teeth or gums: In this case, your dentist may recommend that you use a take-home tray whitening kit, that uses a lower concentration of bleaching agent.
- Intrinsic stains: Some deep stains are resistant even to high-concentration professional bleaching agents. In this case, you could use an alternative such as veneers, crowns, or dental bonding.
