Tooth Discoloration and Professional Teeth Whitening at Dental Care 4 U
Teeth whitening restores the natural color and removes years of stains from your teeth. As a simple and safe procedure, getting professional whitening treatments can boost your confidence in your smile.
Under the care of Dr. Raj Khurana, we can provide fast, professional-grade teeth whitening services. During your dental consultation, we will thoroughly examine your dental and medical history, examine your oral health, and perform screenings to diagnose potential issues. For areas of discoloration and staining caused by external factors, Dr. Khurana can discuss whitening options with you and schedule your whitening session to remove your tooth stains for good.
Dr. Raj Khurana can perform professional teeth whitening under the following steps:
- Preparation: Dr. Khurana will first cover your gums and other surfaces with a protective barrier and use a retractor to hold the cheeks and lips away from the teeth.
- Gel Application: The professional-grade hydrogen peroxide gel is then applied and left on the teeth for about an hour. In other cases, the gel is placed inside a flexible mouth guard.
- Removal and Light Curing: Once the gel is removed, a curing light may be used to activate the peroxide gel and ensure tooth whitening. Light curing is specifically used for multiple tooth whitening sessions, including for patients with severely stained teeth.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How long does the teeth whitening process take?
A: In-office whitening procedures usually take about an hour. At-home treatments can take one to two weeks to achieve the desired result.
Q: Are teeth whitening results permanent?
A: No, teeth whitening is not permanent. Results can last from a few months to up to three years, but this varies from person to person.
We work with high-concentration bleaching gels, which are powerful solutions that lighten the shade of your teeth in a single treatment. Under our supervision, we can remove stubborn stains, protect sensitive gums, and ensure proper whitening that’s better than over-the-counter products.
Caring For Your Whitened Smile at Dental Care 4 U
It’s important to schedule a consultation before receiving teeth whitening treatment, as some stains can be intrinsically ingrained into the enamel and dentin and may require other treatments, including veneers or crowns, to treat your teeth. However, with our whitening treatment, your whitening results can last as long as five years under proper care, which include scheduling regular appointments with our dentists.
At Dental Care 4 U, we treat you like family here, and whether you need a regular exam, orthodontic treatment, or dental veneers, we provide a selection of services to care for all of your dental needs. For more information, contact our practice today in Holland, IL, to speak with Dr. Raj Khurana for an appointment. No matter your concerns, you’ll always receive care with a gentle touch and gain the smile you’ve always wanted.
