Teeth Whitening
Grants Pass, OR
 One of the first things that our dentists do when it comes to cosmetic dentistry is teeth whitening. This helps to remove stains that brushing cannot get rid of, whether those stains are from smoke, coffee, or food. The procedure to remove stains is not that difficult, and it often can be done in just one visit. With the right materials, you can even do it from home. There is one of the questions our The Center for Esthetic Dentistry is always asked, which is how does teeth whitening work? We can help with your answers in this article.
In-office Teeth Cleaning
One of the easiest ways to get your teeth cleaned quickly will bring you to come to see us. We can set up an appointment for you and get the process done in one visit. Our office typically has better materials than the standard at-home store-bought kits, and we can work much faster to help you get a perfectly white smile.
We place a whitening agent on your teeth and use either hydrogen or carbamide peroxide as a gel. This goes over your teeth, and then we use either heat or light to activate it, and the activated gel starts doing the work and breaks down the stains on your teeth at a cellular level. After a period of time that changes depending on how deep the stains are, we remove the gel and leave you with a perfectly white smile. It is a fast and painless procedure that has you walk out the door with a white smile and no other hassle.
At-home Teeth Cleanings
Over-the-counter teeth cleaning products can be bought from most stores. While these are good items, they will not be as quick or as effective as in-office procedures. Most of the at-home cleanings use either brush-on gels or strip-based products that are placed on the teeth. The gels use the exact same peroxide formula that we do but will need to be applied more often for around two weeks. The results are not permanent like our procedure is either, as it will only last for a few months and will then need to be applied again.
There are also whitening toothpastes that contain peroxides and help to brighten your teeth and remove stains when used. However, they are not as strong as an in-house procedure and need to be reapplied every day.
