Benefits of Professional Teeth Whitening at a Dental Clinic

A bright and sparkling smile can boost your confidence and enhance your overall appearance. But discolored enamel can negatively impact your self-esteem and make you feel self-conscious about the way your teeth look.

Fortunately, professional teeth whitening can help you achieve a whiter and more confident smile without any invasive or expensive treatments.

Professional teeth whitening at a dental clinic is a safe and effective way to get the whiter and brighter smile you deserve. With two different types of teeth whitening available and Spring Dental in Murrieta, you can choose a treatment that fits your unique needs and lifestyle.

Reasons to Professionally Whiten Your Teeth

Teeth discoloration can occur due to several reasons, such as aging, genetics, tobacco use, and drinking a lot of coffee or tea. Thankfully, teeth whitening with a professional can effectively remove stubborn stains and deep-set discoloration, leaving you with significantly whiter teeth. More than that, professional teeth whitening offers several benefits over commercial whitening solutions sold in stores.

Professional teeth whitening is more effective than at-home kits. That’s because we use stronger and more concentrated whitening agents that penetrate deep into the tooth enamel, removing stubborn stains and discoloration that cannot be treated with over-the-counter products. In fact, these ingredients can only be administered by a dentist because of how strong they are.

Teeth whitening at a dental clinic is a safer option because you’re working with professionals. Our dental team is highly trained and experienced in administering teeth whitening gels in a way that won’t harm your mouth, ensuring that your teeth and gums are not damaged in the process.

Professional teeth whitening treatments are also customized to your unique needs. Our dentist will evaluate the extent of teeth discoloration and recommend the most suitable whitening treatment for you.

Types of Teeth Whitening

The two types of teeth whitening we offer at Springs Dental are in-office or “same day” whitening and fitted take-home whitening trays. No matter which option you choose, you’ll love the way your new smile looks.

In-Office Teeth Whitening: Single visit teeth whitening is a highly effective and fast-acting procedure that is performed at our office. We first polish off any surface stains, then apply a highly concentrated whitening gel to your teeth and activate it with a special light. The procedure takes about an hour or so and you’ll achieve an immediately brighter smile by about 7-8 shades or more in most cases.

At-Home Teeth Whitening: At-home teeth whitening involves using custom-made trays that fit over your teeth. We’ll take a mold of your teeth and fit you with a pair of whitening trays. These trays hold concentrated gel against your teeth and, when worn as directed, improve your smile by several shades in about two weeks. Most people wear their trays for an hour a day or overnight. After the initial whitening treatment, you can touch up whenever necessary.

How Long Does Teeth Whitening Last?

The longevity of teeth whitening results depends on several factors, such as the type of treatment, your lifestyle habits, and your oral hygiene routine. In-office teeth whitening can provide immediate and long-lasting results that can last for up to two years with proper oral care. At-home teeth whitening can also provide long-lasting results but will require periodic touch-ups to maintain the brightness of your teeth. We recommend touching up with your trays after your regular dental checkups.

To keep the results of your teeth whitening treatment, you must practice good oral hygiene habits, such as brushing your teeth twice a day, flossing, and having regular dental checkups. It’s also important to avoid tobacco use and limit the consumption of staining foods and drinks such as coffee, tea, and red wine can also help maintain the brightness of your teeth.
