Teeth Whitening
Professional Teeth Whitening Services in Winder
We love helping our patients brighten their smiles!
Professional teeth whitening is a simple, low-cost cosmetic dentistry option for changing the appearance of your smile.
Why should I whiten my teeth?
Stubborn teeth stains from coffee, tea, wine or tobacco are not easily removed by brushing and flossing alone, and over time, they can discolor tooth enamel. Professional teeth whitening may be used to remove these types of stains and make the teeth several shades lighter.
How does Teeth Whitening work?
Customizing your teeth whitening treatment begins with a dental examination and consultation with one of our general and cosmetic dentists. During this visit, your dentist will check your teeth shade and talk with you about how teeth whitening can enhance your smile.
Teeth Whitening Options at our Winder Family and Cosmetic Dental Practice
At Petree and Seibert Dentistry, we provide both in-office and home cosmetic teeth whitening for your convenience. Our teeth whitening products are formulated using proven active ingredients for professional use.
In-Office Teeth Whitening
For faster results, we may recommend that you begin the teeth whitening process with an initial in-office treatment.
Your in-office teeth whitening treatment takes about an hour. The power whitening gel is applied to your teeth in two 20-minute cycles to lift old stains from the tooth enamel surfaces. Your teeth will be visibly lightened right away. We may also recommend take-home whitening products to achieve your brightest smile.
Home Teeth Whitening
Our professional home dental whitening kit includes custom mouth trays that are designed to hold the whitening gel. The upper and lower mouth trays cover the teeth to apply the whitening gel; they are worn for about an hour a day while you go about your usual routine at home.
Most patients see results after 2-3 home whitening treatment applications. We also have whitening gel refills available for touch-up treatments to maintain your whitened teeth shade between dental cleanings.
How can I remove Tetracycline Stains from my teeth?
If you have dark gray teeth stains from tetracycline medication, please contact us to schedule a consultation with one of our dentists for recommendations specific to your needs.
As most patients whose smiles have been affected by childhood tetracycline medication have experienced, this is perhaps the most difficult teeth discoloration to remove. Tetracycline staining is deep within the tooth enamel (intrinsic stain).
Our dentists may recommend a combination of multiple in-office teeth whitening appointments with home treatments to penetrate the tooth enamel and lighten stained surfaces.
In some cases, tetracycline staining might not fully respond to teeth whitening treatment. Cosmetic dentistry procedures such as cosmetic veneers or esthetic dental crowns may be recommended to achieve your smile appearance goals.
Are You looking for a Safe and Simple Way to Whiten Your Smile?
Studies have shown that professional teeth whitening is safe and effective and can make teeth several shades lighter. Every patient is different of course; our dentists will recommend the teeth whitening option or cosmetic treatment that is best suited for your smile appearance and dental health.
