What Is Teeth Whitening?
In a world where looks are everything, we understand why the color of your teeth is among the top of your cosmetic concerns. Fortunately, Benjamin Lievense, DDS PLLC in Saginaw, MI can help you address this dilemma with professional teeth whitening. While there are dozens of grocery store whitening alternatives, we offer a product that has proven superior to any current over-the-counter treatments. Our whitening services can whiten your teeth by several shades, helping you maintain your beautiful results for much longer than alternative products. We use professional-strength gels that really do the job, reaching beneath the surface of your teeth to remove deep stains, rather than consumer-level solutions that only scratch the surface (quite literally) and provide a brighter shade of yellow at the very best.
What Should I Expect with Teeth Whitening?
What you should expect for your whitening appointments depends on the recommended procedure. Since our clinic offers various treatments for effective and quality teeth whitening, the method chosen for you will be decided upon after a consultation where your cosmetic goals and lifestyle will be discussed and considered. In most cases, your in-office teeth whitening sessions will be carried out in less than one hour by applying a prescription-strength whitening gel, along with the assistance of a light system that quickly whitens the teeth several shades. Our at-home strategies are also effective but might offer a more subtle outcome over a period of weeks and months.
What Can I Expect After Teeth Whitening?
Following professional teeth whitening, teeth typically appear noticeably brighter right away, with shade improvement continuing over the next day or two. Some patients experience temporary sensitivity or gum irritation, which usually resolves on its own. Patients are typically encouraged to avoid dark foods and beverages for a short period to protect results. With good oral hygiene and occasional touch-up treatments, whitening results can be maintained for an extended period. Many patients find that professional whitening offers a refreshed smile that looks natural and enhances overall appearance.
What Are the Benefits of Teeth Whitening?
At Benjamin Lievense, DDS PLLC, teeth whitening offers numerous advantages for Saginaw, MI patients who want a whiter, more vivid smile. Various benefits of teeth whitening include:
