Teeth Whitening in Davie, FL

Whitening that protects your enamel

Professional whitening removes deep stains and discoloration while protecting your enamel. Each session is tailored to your teeth — how stained they are, how sensitive they run — rather than a one-strength-fits-all formula.

Two professional routes are available: in-office treatment for the fastest result, or a customized take-home kit if you would rather whiten gradually. Both use safe, proven techniques at strengths an over-the-counter product cannot match, with sensitivity kept to a minimum.

All of us are born with a beautiful set of teeth. But as we grow older, the color of our teeth begins to change depending on our oral hygiene. Although studies show that teeth may still lose their whiteness, despite being totally healthy, people still place a premium on a perfect white smile. Teeth whitening is the most popular cosmetic treatment and is accessible to anyone seeking a whiter looking smile.

What Is Teeth Whitening?

Teeth whitening is the process of brightening teeth or maintaining their natural whiteness. Those with naturally white teeth can preserve their brightness through good oral hygiene and routine dental visits. For those seeking a whiter smile, various professional whitening treatments are available.

What Are Ways to Whiten Teeth?

Over-The-Counter Treatment

Mouthwashes or rinses contain hydrogen peroxide or other whitening agents. Whitening strips are made of plastic and are coated with a peroxide-gel that is placed on the teeth to aid in whitening. Tray-based teeth whitening entails the use of mouth trays that are filled with a peroxide-based whitening solution. While over-the-counter whitening solutions are the most affordable, they are less effective and efficient than professional teeth whitening in Davie. Results will take longer to appear and whitening products available over-the-counter are less safe to use.

Customized Take-Home Whitening Kits

This option is far more superior than over-the-counter products. The thing is, this kit is usually prescribed and provided by the dentist based on his/her observation of the patient’s teeth. The type of products and application may be just like how OTC products are used, but the whitening solutions are of a higher dosage, making it more effective. The price may also be more expensive compared to OTC products given the fact that the results are visible in a shorter period of time. Be careful not to use this option for teeth whitening without consulting the dentist. A wrong dosage or incompatibility with these treatments may cause more harm than good.

Professional In-Office Dental Treatment

This is the most expensive option to achieve white teeth, but it is also the most effective, not to mention it produces the fastest visible results. With professional teeth whitening, it typically takes a single visit to the dentist to have a whiter smile. The most common procedure is that the dentist will apply a fast-acting, highly concentrated whitening agent that is activated upon exposure to ultraviolet light. Prior to that, the dentist ensures that the gums, tongue, and lips are not affected by applying a protective covering. The entire process takes place within an hour. A patient searching teeth whitening can also opt to have a dental prophylaxis prior to the teeth whitening procedure to ensure that the teeth are not just white but clean as well.
