Are you looking to brighten your smile? Teeth whitening is a simple, effective way to remove stains and improve the appearance of your teeth. At Ravenwood Dental, Dr. Phil Mangiaracina and our team offer professional teeth whitening options that are both safe and powerful. Whether your teeth have become discolored due to coffee, tea, wine, smoking, or natural aging, we can help you achieve a whiter, fresher smile that boosts your confidence.
Why Choose Professional Teeth Whitening?
Over-the-counter whitening products like strips, toothpaste, and gels may offer some results, but they often lack the strength to provide a noticeable and long-lasting change. On the other hand, professional teeth whitening uses high-quality whitening agents and carefully controlled techniques that achieve brighter, more even results in a shorter amount of time. With professional whitening at Ravenwood Dental, you can be confident that the treatment is safe, effective, and tailored to meet your specific goals.
Benefits of Teeth Whitening
A brighter smile can have a positive impact on your appearance and self-esteem. Teeth whitening offers several benefits, including:
- Quick, Noticeable Results: After just one session, professional teeth whitening delivers a whiter smile.
- Safe and Comfortable: Our team carefully monitors each step to ensure comfort and safety throughout the treatment.
- Long-Lasting Effects: With good oral hygiene and regular dental visits, your teeth can stay bright for months or even years.
- Customizable Treatment: We can adjust the strength and duration of your whitening treatment to give you the precise shade you’re looking for.
Professional whitening is popular for those preparing for a special event, like a wedding or reunion, or anyone wanting to look and feel their best.
How Does Teeth Whitening Work?
Teeth whitening uses a special whitening gel applied directly to your teeth. The active ingredient in the gel, usually hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, works by breaking down stains on the surface of your teeth. This process lightens the enamel, giving you a brighter smile. At Ravenwood Dental, Dr. Mangiaracina will apply the gel evenly to ensure consistent results. Depending on the level of whitening you want to achieve, we can adjust the treatment to match your goals.
The Teeth Whitening Process
Our professional teeth whitening treatment at Ravenwood Dental is designed to be quick and comfortable. Here’s what you can expect during the procedure:
-
Initial Consultation: Before whitening, we’ll discuss your goals and evaluate your oral health to ensure you’re a good candidate for the treatment. If you have cavities or gum issues, we may need to treat these first to ensure your comfort and the best possible results.
-
Preparation and Protection: To start the whitening process, we’ll carefully protect your gums and soft tissues to prevent irritation. We may also clean your teeth to remove any surface debris, ensuring the whitening gel can work as effectively as possible.
-
Application of Whitening Gel: Dr. Mangiaracina will apply the whitening gel to the surface of your teeth. The gel will remain on your teeth for a set period, allowing the active ingredients to lift stains and brighten your smile. Some whitening treatments may involve a special light to enhance the whitening process.
-
Rinse and Reveal: Once the treatment is complete, the gel is rinsed off, and you’ll be able to see the immediate results. Depending on your initial shade and desired level of whitening, we may recommend multiple sessions for the best outcome.
