Is Teeth Whitening Right for Me?
For anyone who is looking to acquire a bright, dazzling smile in a short period, teeth whitening is the perfect solution. Before getting teeth whitening, your dentist will make sure your teeth are healthy enough for a cosmetic procedure. Then, your dentist will listen to your goals and create your treatment plan. Professional teeth whitening can give you fast, dramatic results by targeting discoloration embedded deep within your natural teeth. Unlike over-the-counter whitening treatments, your teeth whitening treatment at our office will be personalized to fit your needs and goals.
How Does In-Office Whitening Work?
Relax in one of our comfortable treatment rooms while you undergo your in-office teeth whitening with MINT dentistry. Although in-office whitening does not require anesthesia, sedation dentistry options may be available if you have a powerful gag reflex or if you struggle with dental stress. Your teeth have to be cleaned and dried before the treatment so the whitening gel can be evenly applied. Afterward, a protective barrier will be put over your gums while your eyes are shielded with special eyewear. A member of our South Holland, IL staff will paint a professional-strength whitening gel onto your teeth and expose your teeth to our state-of-the-art teeth whitening lamp. The combination of this light and gel helps to lessen the discoloration in the tooth surfaces. Depending on your current enamel shade and desirable result, this procedure may be completed 2 – 3 times. Once your treatment is complete, the remaining gel and gum barrier will be cleaned before your mouth is rinsed.
Maintain Your Teeth Whitening Results
After your whitening treatment, unless sedation was used, you should be able to leave to resume your regular routine. However, you should avoid products that will stain your teeth (lipstick, coffee, tobacco products) for at least two days after your treatment. You may experience sensitivity to cold and hot — this will only continue for 3 – 5 days. To keep your results, you need to brush your teeth whenever possible after having staining food and drinks as well as tobacco products. When at home, you should follow a daily oral hygiene routine, including cleaning and flossing to prevent stains. Professional cleanings twice per year at our South Holland, IL practice can also help decrease the accumulation of new stains to help keep your teeth looking brilliant. If you want to refresh your results in a couple of years, you can schedule another professional whitening procedure or ask a MINT dentistry team member about other whitening solutions.
The MINT Commitment
Many dental insurance policies do not cover cosmetic procedures like teeth whitening since they are deemed elective. During your initial consultation at our South Holland, IL facility, a member of our team will discuss your costs and payment options. MINT dentistry is committed to giving you the beautiful smile you want. Ask a staff member about our current specials, medical financing, or the MINT Discount Plan, which can make treatments for brightening your smile even more budget-friendly.
