Tooth Whitening Sherwood Park

Professional Tooth Whitening in Sherwood Park

Are you dreaming of a whiter, more dazzling smile? At Park Dental Wellness Centre in Sherwood Park, we offer professional tooth whitening solutions to help you achieve a radiant look you'll love to show off.

What is Tooth Whitening?

Tooth whitening, also known as teeth bleaching, is a safe and effective cosmetic dental procedure that lightens the shade of your teeth. It works by removing stains and discoloration from the tooth surface, revealing a brighter, more youthful smile.

Why Do Teeth Stain?

Over time, our teeth can become discolored due to various factors:

• Aging: The enamel thins, allowing the darker dentin beneath to show through.
• Diet: Regular consumption of coffee, tea, red wine, dark berries, and highly pigmented foods.
• Lifestyle: Tobacco use (smoking or chewing).
• Medications: Certain antibiotics (like tetracycline) taken during tooth development.
• Trauma: Injuries to the tooth.
• Genetics: Some people naturally have darker teeth.

Your Whitening Options at Park Dental Wellness Centre

We offer both in-office and at-home professional whitening solutions, tailored to your needs and desired results. Before any treatment, our dentists will assess your oral health to ensure tooth whitening is the right option for you. We often take a photo of your current tooth shade to help you visualize your progress.

1. In-Office Professional Whitening

Looking for fast, dramatic results? Our in-office whitening treatment is a quick and convenient way to significantly brighten your smile, often by six to ten shades in a single appointment.

• Process: A high-concentration, light-activated whitening gel (typically containing hydrogen peroxide) is applied to your teeth. A special light is then used to activate the gel, accelerating the whitening process.
• Time: Each session usually takes between 30 to 90 minutes. Depending on your desired shade, a few visits might be recommended.
• Benefits: Immediate, noticeable results, performed under professional supervision for maximum safety and effectiveness.

2. At-Home Whitening with Custom Trays

For those who prefer to whiten their teeth in the comfort of their own home, we offer a professional take-home system.

• Process: We'll take comfortable impressions of your teeth to create custom-fitted mouthpieces (trays). You'll receive a supply of professional-grade bleaching gel (also typically hydrogen peroxide-based) to apply to these trays.
• Instructions: Our team will provide clear instructions on how long and how often to wear the trays. It's crucial to use only the prescribed amount of gel to avoid gum irritation.
• Benefits: Gradual and controlled whitening, convenient for your schedule, and custom trays ensure even application and optimal contact with your teeth.

Important Considerations and Side Effects

• Sensitivity: It's common to experience increased tooth sensitivity during or shortly after whitening treatments. This is usually temporary and subsides within a few days. We can recommend desensitizing toothpastes or gels to help manage this.
• Longevity: Tooth whitening is not permanent. To maintain your desired shade, periodic touch-up treatments will be necessary, which our team can advise you on.
• Limitations: Whitening gels only work on natural tooth enamel. Fillings, crowns, veneers, and bridges will not lighten and may need to be replaced after whitening if they no longer match your new tooth shade.
• Pregnancy: Tooth whitening procedures should be avoided if you are pregnant.

Maintain Your Brighter Smile

To prolong the results of your tooth whitening:

• Practice excellent oral hygiene with regular brushing and flossing.
• Limit consumption of stain-causing foods and drinks.
• Avoid tobacco products.
• Schedule regular dental cleanings and check-ups at Park Dental Wellness Centre.
