Teeth Whitening in Marietta

Why Should You Choose In-Office Teeth Whitening?

Unlike do-it-yourself whitening, in-office teeth whitening is performed under professional supervision with high-quality products to ensure your safety. Since we use highly concentrated bleaching gel, you can receive immediate, longer-lasting results in comparison to over-the-counter products. After examining your mouth, our dentists will create a customized teeth whitening plan to best meet your specific needs, ensuring your complete satisfaction.

In-office teeth whitening is the most effective when used to remove stains caused by smoking or by consuming certain foods and drinks. Not all types of discoloration respond well to professional whitening, including tetracycline stains and discoloration caused by decay or defective fillings. Certain restoration materials, such as crowns, veneers, and fillings will not respond to professional whitening.

What Is Teeth Whitening at Home?

Besides in-office whitening treatments, you can whiten your teeth in the comfort of your own home with our take-home whitening kits. We’ll take impressions of your teeth to create customized whitening trays that are used with our professional strength teeth whitening gel. If you wear your trays for about an hour a day over a two-week period, your smile can become several shades lighter.

How Much Does Teeth Whitening Cost?

The cost of your teeth whitening depends on a variety of factors, such as the number of whitening treatments you need, the severity of your tooth discoloration, and the type of whitening system used. For more information about the teeth bleaching cost, contact our office to make an appointment.

How Effective Are Teeth Whitening Products?

Our professional teeth whitening gel is more powerful and gives you faster, more reliable results in comparison to do-it-yourself products. Although there are a variety of teeth whitening products you can buy over-the-counter, including rinses, toothpaste, dental whitening trays, and strips, these products aren’t as effective as professional whitening treatments. While these products may provide some improvement, they can cause gum irritation and inconsistent results if used incorrectly. Receiving treatment from an experienced teeth bleaching dentist eliminates these problems.

What Is the Teeth Whitening Procedure?

The procedure for in-office teeth whitening can vary based on the whitening system used. Refer to the following steps for more information about a typical whitening procedure.

• Your dentist carefully examines and cleans your teeth before beginning treatment.
• Photos of your teeth may be taken to help you monitor your results.
• A cheek retractor is placed into your mouth to expose your visible teeth.
• Then, a protective liquid is applied to your gums to keep them protected during the whitening process.
• Your dentist applies several coatings of whitening gel to your teeth.
• The gel may be light activated depending on the formula used by your dentist.

Once the final coat of bleaching gel has been applied, your dentist will evaluate the color changes and determine if any additional treatments or at-home treatment is required.
