Professional Teeth Whitening to Eliminate Stains
Just as you trust a professional barber or hairdresser for a haircut, professional teeth whitening can help remove years of stains and restore your smile. At Omni Dental, our dentists offer advanced whitening treatments that give patients a brighter, more youthful-looking smile.
If over-the-counter products haven’t lived up to your expectations, professional-strength whitening can make a noticeable difference—lightening your teeth by several shades for a truly radiant result.
Even more importantly, our dentists take the time to understand your concerns and learn about your daily habits that may contribute to tooth discoloration. By tailoring your treatment to your needs, we ensure you’re satisfied with your results—and proud to show off your revitalized, confident smile.
How Teeth Whitening Works
Teeth whitening products generally fall into two main categories: peroxide-based bleaching agents and whitening toothpastes. Most professional whitening systems use either carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide as their active ingredient. The concentration of these agents determines the strength, effectiveness, and safety of the treatment.
Peroxide-based products work by triggering a chemical reaction that breaks down the molecules responsible for discoloration, effectively removing stains and brightening your teeth.
Key Factors in Delivering Quality Care
At Omni Dental, we combine the art and science of dentistry to help you achieve a healthy, beautiful smile. We understand the value of your investment and focus on treatments that support both your oral health and your smile goals. Our office offers a wide range of advanced cosmetic dental services, and our team will guide you in choosing the best option for your unique smile.
It’s important to note that teeth whitening isn’t ideal for every type of discoloration. This treatment works on natural teeth and does not change the color of fillings, crowns, or bridges. Patients with yellow-toned teeth often see the most dramatic results, while those with brown or grayish teeth may require stronger whitening treatments or alternative procedures. Teeth whitening may also be unsuitable for individuals with sensitive teeth, worn enamel, or significant gum disease.
Our team at Omni Dental will carefully evaluate your smile and provide expert guidance on whether teeth whitening is right for you. If it’s not the best fit, we’ll recommend alternative cosmetic treatments to achieve healthier, more effective results and help you feel confident in your smile.
Maximizing Your Teeth Whitening Results
Here are some tips to help you get the most out of your teeth whitening treatment:
- Be mindful of what you eat and drink after whitening to avoid new stains on your teeth.
- Avoid smoking, which can cause yellowing and diminish the effects of your treatment.
- If you experience sensitivity or discomfort, use recommended pain relief and a toothpaste for sensitive teeth.
- Keep in mind that results may vary depending on individual factors.
- Maintain good oral hygiene to help preserve your brighter smile.
- Consider a take-home whitening system for occasional touch-ups as needed.
At Omni Dental, we are committed to providing exceptional care. If you have any questions or concerns about your teeth whitening procedure, don’t hesitate to contact our office.
