Teeth Whitening

It is very common for people to feel self-conscious about their smile, and it makes sense why. Your smile is one of the first things that people notice about you. If you are currently struggling with feelings of self-consciousness or inadequacy when it comes to your smile, you may want to consider making an appointment for teeth whitening.

Teeth whitening is a method for helping individuals who are struggling with discolored, missing, or damaged teeth and helps restore your natural, beautiful smile. Along with the desire to improve the general aesthetics of your smile, there are other good reasons for considering teeth whitening. Some patients will pursue this option if they are experiencing discoloration due to medications they are taking. Patients who are suffering from Fluorosis also commonly have teeth whitening procedures done.

At Cherrywood Dental Care, there is nothing we love more than watching our patients discover a brilliant new smile. If you have been experiencing any of these issues, please contact our staff to see if teeth whitening is the right option for you. Our office is proud to provide the comprehensive care you need to improve your dental health, and is committed to returning even the most damaged mouths back to full health.

Whitening Expectations

Teeth Whitening is a non-invasive treatment that can be taken care of in just one visit to the dentist’s office. At your visit, the dentist will perform a gentle polish and reshaping of any teeth with chipped or uneven edges. Next, the dentist will create dental impressions of your teeth, which will then be used to create trays that are customized for your tooth whitening procedure. Unlike generic over-the-counter products, these individualized trays create better, longer lasting results.

Many patients are stunned at how much of a difference just one visit can make in dramatically increasing the shine of your smile.

At Home Whitening

While using over the counter teeth whitening strips come with the benefit of being immediately affordable and readily accessible, these treatments will not make as dramatic a difference as scheduling an in-house procedure. Additionally, these strips will have to be replenished on a regular basis, which can quickly begin to add up financially. Scheduling an appointment with our professional staff can result in a system of whitening that can last you for years. Given all this, may patients find that the at-home treatments end up costing more in the long run, with less dramatic improvements. If you would like to discuss at home versus in-house benefits and drawbacks further, please contact our staff.

Common Causes for Needing Teeth Whitening

There are many different causes for stained teeth, but the primary causes come from common foods that are eaten or beverages that you drink. Most common among these teeth staining causes is coffee, wine, chocolate, and even tea. It should also come as no surprise that if you are a smoker, tobacco can have a dramatic effect on causing the yellowing of your teeth and allowing for buildup of nasty gunk over time.

Teeth Whitening Aftercare

It is not uncommon for patients who have recently had a tooth whitening procedure to experience some sensitivity. This sensitivity generally goes away after a few days, but should this problem persist, it is important to contact your dentist to discuss other means of addressing this concern.

While you will not have to dramatically restrict your diet or eating habits to maintain the new whiteness of your teeth, it is a good idea to avoid foods that commonly stain your teeth, such as wine, coffee, or chocolate, as well as other less commonly known foods, such as balsamic vinegar and certain tomato sauces. It is also important to be aware that tooth whitening is not a permanent solution, and patients who undergo this procedure will likely need to have it performed again.

For this reason, it is important to continue treating your teeth with the care you should be. Continue practicing good dental hygiene by brushing and flossing your teeth at least twice daily and continue scheduling dentist appointments every six months. If you continue to take good care of your teeth, your teeth will continue to take good care of you, and that bright new shine will last longer.

Associated Costs

Like most dental procedures, what is covered by your insurance depends on your individual insurance plan. However, most insurance plans typically do not cover teeth whitening procedures. If you do not currently have dental coverage or would like to discuss payment options, please contact our staff to see what opportunities may be available.
