About Teeth Whitening
While various lifestyle factors can lead to discoloration of the teeth, such as drinking dark liquids and tobacco use, tooth discoloration is also a natural part of the aging process. To help remove years of stains and restore a more youthful luster to your smile, Trusted Dental Care provides Zoom! teeth whitening from the convenience of our Wylie, TX practice. Zoom professional teeth whitening is a fast in-office cosmetic procedure that can effectively lighten your teeth by multiple shades in a single appointment. Whether whitening is performed as a stand-alone treatment or within a smile makeover, Dr. Fesaha Gebrehiwot can personalize a treatment plan to help you get the confident, brilliant smile you have always wanted.
Is Teeth Whitening for You?
Professional teeth whitening may be a good cosmetic solution for patients seeking to resolve stains and discoloration on their teeth and enjoy a brighter, whiter smile. Before you undergo teeth whitening, Dr. G. will evaluate your oral health and talk with you about your concerns, goals, and treatment choices. Professional teeth whitening is ideal for dramatically revamping the smile and works quickly to lighten the shade of natural tooth enamel. Unlike store-bought whitening treatments, which are convenient yet not always effective, professional teeth whitening from our team at Trusted Dental Care will be personalized to your needs so you enjoy optimal, even results.
Teeth whitening may be great for brightening natural tooth enamel affected by:
- Yellowing
- Age
- Genetics
- Tea, coffee, red wine
- Tobacco use
- Berries or tomato-based products
- Curry, chili powder, and other spices
- Certain medications
The Teeth Whitening Process
Our in-office Zoom teeth whitening procedure is generally completed within about an hour. To prepare your teeth, we will polish away any plaque or food debris with a special paste and cover your gums and lip with a protective barrier. After covering your eyes with a special pair of glasses, our team will apply an even layer of professional-grade whitening to your teeth and then position our Zoom LED light in front of your mouth. The combination of the light and gel work quickly to lift away deep stains within the enamel. After 15 minutes, the gel will be removed and reapplied. Depending upon your existing tooth color and desired outcome, this process may be repeated 2 – 3 times. We will rinse your teeth thoroughly and remove the protective barrier once your whitening treatment is complete.
After You Whiten
To enjoy the brightest results, it is best to avoid products that can stain your teeth (coffee, lipstick, tobacco products) for at least a few days following your treatment. You may notice a sensitivity to cold and hot temperatures but this should only last for a short period. To maintain your results, it is important to brush as soon as possible after consuming dark-colored food and beverages, spices, and tobacco products. Keeping up with a great home care routine can minimize the re-accumulation of stains on your teeth. Dental cleanings twice per year at Trusted Dental Care can also help to keep your smile bright and white. Dr. G. offers take-home whitening kits for those who wish to complete or continue their whitening process at home or refresh their results as needed in the future.
Easy Payment Solutions
As it is a cosmetic dentistry procedure, teeth whitening is not normally covered by dental insurance. However, Trusted Dental Care strives to offer affordable treatment options to help every patient enjoy a fantastic smile. During your appointment, our team will discuss cost quotes and payment options. We are also happy to assist you in finding low-interest financing to make fitting your treatment into your budget convenient and stress-free.
