Teeth whitening can give you a natural boost in confidence as you will feel more comfortable with the appearance of your smile. You will be able to laugh and talk freely without worrying about the color of your teeth.
Unlike other standard cosmetic treatments, teeth whitening delivers long-lasting results. With proper care, your teeth whitening can last up to 3 years.
The best part of teeth whitening is that maintenance is easy once you have reached your desired brightness level. You only need to practice good oral hygiene by brushing twice daily and using floss and mouthwash regularly.
Our teeth whitening process starts with a one-on-one consultation between you and Dr. David or Dr. Kristin Kelly to discuss your desired outcome and any specific concerns about the process.
We will then create custom trays for your mouth and provide application instructions for both in-office and take-home treatments. For our in-office treatment, the solution is applied directly to the teeth for up to an hour, depending on your desired results.
If you choose the take-home option, personalized trays are used with a peroxide gel explicitly dispensed for your custom trays.
Your dentist in Reno will provide instructions on maintaining and using your new set of trays. This makes it easy for you to use your whitening trays at home.
Dr. David and Kristin Kelly use a combination of professional-grade whitening products to break down stains and discoloration on the surface of your teeth. Hydrogen and carbamide peroxide are the most common products to remove surface stains.
You're likely a good candidate for teeth whitening if you have healthy teeth and gums. However, it's important to note that not all issues with tooth discoloration can be corrected with teeth whitening, so it's essential to contact your dentist first to determine if bleaching is suitable for you.
Teeth whitening can cause sensitivity, but that doesn't mean you can forego whitening altogether. The experienced dentists at Blue Water Dental Care understand that teeth whitening can be sensitive, so they take every necessary step to ensure your comfort.
For instance, your dentist may apply a protective gel to your gums before beginning the procedure. This helps prevent sensitivity during teeth whitening, making it much more comfortable. Additionally, the dentist may help decide whether a lower-strength whitening solution or even a shorter treatment, especially if you have sensitive teeth.
