We Create Brighter Smile With Precision
There are a variety of whitening products in the market that are readily available for brightening smiles. But the professional teeth whitening treatment still remains the best and safest way to make your smile brighter and healthier. At Andresen Prosthodontics, we apply high-concentration and safe whitening agents which remove deep stains effectively and give you a whiter smile that lasts longer than over-the-counter products. Moreover, no special precautions are needed while our professionals perform teeth whitening in Reno, NV. Dr. Craig Andresen and Dr. Allison Andresen will address your dental issues and assure the treatment procedure is completely safe for your teeth and gums.
Our Teeth Whitening Process
Achieving a brighter smile needs the right dental approach, and we’ll help you get the best one. Our dentists will determine which treatment procedure can provide you with long-term teeth whitening results. This often involves either custom-fabricated trays with a professional-grade bleaching gel for at-home use or a powerful in-office whitening session.
In in-office whitening procedures, we use active bleaching agents that safely and efficiently remove stubborn stains and discolorations from your teeth, revealing a visibly brighter smile. Our treatments are non-invasive and the temporary sensitivity that you may experience will disappear in 2-3 days.
WHAT TO DO AND EXPECT AFTER A WHITENING TREATMENT
After your teeth whitening procedure, our dentists recommend some practices to follow to maintain the results. Let’s take a look at what you can and can’t do right after the dental bleaching session.
- Eat and drink with caution, particularly during the first 48 hours. It takes a few days for your teeth's protective layer to regenerate. Our dentists recommend patients stay away from foods and drinks that are highly colored as they may discolor their teeth. This includes chocolate, cherries, grapes, red wine, coffee, teas, and other foods with dark hues.
- It's advisable to abstain from smoking because it can make your teeth yellow and discolored, especially in the initial days following a whitening procedure. Reducing or giving up smoking can make your smile look better. Maintaining your oral health and general well-being is crucial for lasting brightening results.
- For a few days following the treatment, it's common to feel sensitive to both cold and hot temperatures. Although this pain normally goes away on its own, you can ease any discomfort by using toothpaste that minimizes sensitivity. There are over-the-counter painkillers that may also work.
- Keep in mind that every person will respond differently to tooth whitening procedures. Your diet, oral hygiene practices, and the original shade of teeth can impact both immediate and long-term outcomes. Furthermore, the color of existing fillings, dental crowns, bridgework, and dental bonding is not altered by the brightening processes. We can talk about the prospect of replacing a restoration if you have any serious oral health concerns.
