Teeth yellow and darken from age, environmental factors, lifestyle choices like smoking or chewing tobacco, and consuming foods and beverages like berries, wine, coffee, or tea. At Bond Family Dentistry, we recommend professional teeth whitening to patients who wish to rejuvenate their smile and eliminate stubborn stains that lay deep in the layers of the dentin. Not everyone is a candidate for this cosmetic procedure, and before receiving approval from our dentists, your teeth and gums must be in good condition. Please schedule a consultation in our Everett, WA, office today to determine if teeth whitening is right for you.
What is Professional Teeth Whitening
When teeth turn a yellow-brownish color, professional teeth whitening can remove surface stains as well as those deeply embedded into the enamel. A session involves supervision from our dentists and uses a highly-concentrated hydrogen-peroxide solution to offer dramatic results. You'll sit back and relax as the gel sits on the teeth for about an hour and makes over your entire smile.
Benefits of Professional Teeth Whitening
Our Bond Family Dentistry patients choose this popular cosmetic service because it creates a more youthful appearance while giving your oral health and self-esteem a boost. It also lightens enamel up to eight shades and has many advantages, such as:
- Immediate and long-lasting results
- A safe and effective form of bleaching
- Tooth sensitivity is more controllable
- Healthy, brighter teeth help improve confidence
Caring for Your Brand New Smile
Once you achieve the desired shade from teeth whitening, you'll need to protect your investment with adequate aftercare post-treatment. Teeth will lose their sparkle if you don't brush at least twice daily with an American Dental Association (ADA) whitening toothpaste, and floss at least once a day to remove plaque that causes periodontal disease. For added defense, it helps to rinse with an antiseptic mouthwash after each oral care session. To maintain your radiant smile, you must minimize consumption of dark foods and beverages, and keep up with routine visits to our Everett, WA, Bond Family Dentistry office for preventive cleanings and examinations.
If stubborn stains won't disappear, and you're teeth aren't as bright as you'd like them to be, consult with our dentists, Dr. Ryan Bond and Dr. Megan Bond, to determine if you're a candidate for professional teeth whitening. We understand life is hectic, and we accommodate patients by offering choices for comfort and convenience, which include in-office procedure or take-home trays.
