A bright, dazzling smile can significantly boost your confidence and leave a lasting impression. In the quest for that picture-perfect smile, many people turn to teeth whitening procedures. If you’ve been considering teeth whitening but aren’t sure what to expect, you’re in the right place. In this article, we’ll take you through the ins and outs of teeth whitening, revealing the secrets behind those radiant smiles.

Why Teeth Whitening?

Before we dive into the procedure, let’s explore why teeth whitening is such a popular choice. Over time, our teeth can become discolored due to various factors, including the consumption of coffee, tea, red wine, and certain foods. Tobacco use and the natural aging process can also contribute to staining. Teeth whitening offers a safe and effective way to reverse these stains, restoring your teeth to their former glory.

The Consultation

Your teeth whitening journey begins with a consultation with one of our team members at Maple Mews Dental. This step is crucial because it allows us to assess your oral health and determine whether teeth whitening is right for you. During this consultation, feel free to ask us any questions and share any concerns you may have.

Choosing the Right Shade

Once you decide to go ahead with the procedure, our team will help you choose the right shade of white for your teeth. This is a personalized process, as what may be suitable for one person may not be ideal for another. The goal is to achieve a natural-looking result that complements your overall appearance.

In-Office vs. At-Home Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening can be done either in our dental office or at home. In-office treatments are typically faster and can provide immediate results. On the other hand, at-home whitening kits, prescribed by your dentist, allow you to whiten your teeth at your own pace, with professional guidance.

The Procedure

For in-office teeth whitening, your dentist will start by applying a protective gel to your gums to shield them from the whitening agent. Then, a special whitening gel is applied to your teeth, activated by a dental light or laser. The gel works to break down stains and lift them away. Depending on the desired results, the process may be repeated a few times.

Aftercare and Maintenance

Once the procedure is complete, your dentist will provide you with aftercare instructions to maintain your new, brighter smile. This typically involves avoiding stain-inducing foods and beverages for a certain period and maintaining a diligent oral hygiene routine.

 

Teeth whitening is a fantastic way to transform your smile, boost your confidence, and leave a lasting impression. If you’re interested in achieving a whiter, more radiant smile, don’t hesitate to consult with our experienced dental team. We’re here to guide you through the process and help you achieve the dazzling smile you’ve always dreamed of.

Your smile is the first impression you make on the world, and if you’re not happy with your smile it can impact your confidence and self esteem which can cause problems in your personal and professional lives.

The good news is that dental technologies have come a long way, and there are many common interventions and treatments offered by your cosmetic dentist in Burlington that can brighten, whiten, straighten and complete your smile so you can start off 2023 with confidence to face the world smiling.

Here are some procedures offered by Maple Mews Dental that will help you build a smile you’ll be proud to show off.

  1. Professional whitening

A bright, white smile is something that is easy to achieve and difficult to maintain. While natural tooth shade is slightly different for every person, our everyday activities can reduce the brightness of our teeth and cause stains and discolouration.

Luckily, the team at Maple Mews has multiple professional treatment options available that can safely, effectively remove stains and brighten your teeth either at-home or in the office.

These treatment options are more effective than those that can be purchased over the counter as they are specially recommended and formulated for your unique situation.

  1. Tooth bonding

Tooth bonding is a non-invasive, professional procedure offered by your cosmetic dentist in Burlington to improve the texture of the tooth and cover any small chips, cracks, stains, or gaps between the teeth.

The procedure is easy. Your dentist will apply a composite material to the surface of the teeth that will even out the tooth’s surface and cover any imperfections. The composite material will be made to match the natural shade of your teeth so it blends in and does not stand out to others.

  1. Dental veneers

A dental veneer is like a custom made shell that is adhered to the outside of your teeth to correct any imperfections and create that bright, straight, shining smile you’ve been looking for.

There are permanent veneers and removable veneers. Permanent veneers are made of either porcelain or composite and can be cleaned and cared for with twice-daily brushing and regular flossing.

  1. Dental crowns

A dental crown is like a cap placed on top of an implant or damaged tooth to seal it from the elements and eliminate exposure to food and drinks.

Dental crowns are used when simple fillings aren’t enough to correct the cavity, crack, chip or other damage that has been caused to the tooth. They can be made of metal, porcelain, composite or ceramic, and are a permanent solution that can last a lifetime if properly cared-for.

If you’re interested in learning more about these treatment options or any other cosmetic dentistry treatment, call our team at Maple Mews Dental to schedule an appointment today.
