Case Samples
Routine Cleaning and Bleaching
- Patient came in with stained teeth and irritated gum tissue
- We recommended a simple cleaning along with some custom bleach trays

What is the best way to whiten teeth?
There are many methods to whiten teeth nowadays since most individuals care about their appearance and have concerns about their teeth being discolored. The most common approach for tooth whitening is with an at-home teeth whitening system from a professional dentist that can make your teeth extremely white. Because tooth bleaching only works on natural tooth enamel, it’s vital to have any old fillings, crowns, or other restorations replaced while they’re still in place. After bleaching, any restorations will be replaced to match the newly bleached teeth.
Patients must understand that professional teeth whitening is not a permanent solution to brighten the smile. A touch-up maybe required every few years, or more often, if you drink coffee, smoke cigarettes, or consume teas and red wines. That is due to teeth stains that cause dark or yellow teeth.
Why a patient might consider professional teeth whitening?
– Excessive fluoride during tooth development (fluorosis)
– Yellow, brown, and discolored teeth
– Normal wear of the outer layer of the enamel
What Can I Expect With Professional Teeth Whitening?
Typically, two visits to the dental office are required for professional whitening. Impressions (molds) of your teeth will be taken at the first visit to make custom, transparent plastic trays.
You will try on the trays at your second visit to ensure a good fit. Based on your personal situation and goals, instructions will be given to you in order to achieve the best long term and pain free results for your teeth. When you bleach your teeth, tooth sensitivity sometimes occurs; however, it usually resolves after you cease bleaching.
