Before Tooth Whitening

After Tooth Whitening

  Professional tooth whitening is actually a bleaching process that lightens discolorations of the enamel and dentin.  Patients who have healthy, unrestored teeth are ideal candidates for the tooth whitening process.

Tooth discoloration occurs for a variety of reasons.  Though tooth color is mostly an inherited trait, it also depends upon the condition of the patient's teeth, general dental health, and lifestyle considerations.

The causes of tooth discoloration can be both external and internal.  Drinking coffee, tea, and colas as well as using tobacco products are some external causes of staining.  Internal causes include disease, injury, previous dental work, and the aging process.

It's no surprise that older teeth have been exposed to a wider variety of staining. These stains tend to accumulate in small cracks and chips that commonly develop with age.  Bleaching can be extremely effective at reducing these types of stains.

The professional tooth whitening process is short and simple.  After a thorough examination, Dr. Moore or Dr. Hill will determine if you are a viable candidate for the bleaching process.  If you are, Dr. Moore or Dr. Hill will then take an impression of your mouth and cast a model of your teeth.  Once the model is prepared, a bleaching tray will be formed over it.  The bleaching tray will accommodate a bleaching gel and precisely fit around your teeth.

From then on, it's up to you.  With professional tooth whitening material from Discuss Dental, you will put a small amount of the bleaching gel into the tray.  You then place the tray over your teeth and wear it for a few hours.  Most people choose to wear the tray at night or while sleeping.  However, you can wear the tray anywhere and at anytime.  In just a few short days, your teeth can be shades whiter.
