Whitening your teeth at Dr. Heidergott’s Spokane Dental Clinic is an experience with consistent and outstanding results. Consulting with an expert cosmetic dentist to have this process done in the dental clinic is vastly different from taking home a do-it-yourself kit from the drugstore.
Color selection and professional application make a world of difference to the final outcome and your appearance. Some teeth will not whiten due to internal properties, or previous dentistry.
Even though this is one of the most frequently requested cosmetic dental procedures and most commonly performed, the correct application and execution of treatment should not be neglected.
Tooth whitening is known to be achieved in a variety of ways. Products and treatments are sold over the counter and will be available as options even with your dentist. Bleaching gels and strips, bleaching pens and laser bleaching are a few possibilities.
Hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide are the most common bases for tooth whitening products. Your dental enamel has a structure similar to a crystal and these agents oxidize the tooth by penetrating through the surface. Stains and discolorations are bleached and lightened restoring the teeth not only to the previous shade, but also even to a whiter shade than before.
If you find that your teeth require whitening periodically due to habitual tobacco use, drinking red wine, coffee, or taking certain types of medication, don’t hesitate to call up Dr. Heidergott’s clinic for an appointment. Here we make you feel welcome and at home. Dr. Heidergott will discuss the best method of tooth whitening for you and you can plan to take home a shining set of teeth when you are done!
