Why Do Our Teeth Stain?
The main reasons why our teeth stains are:
- improper oral hygiene
- excessive consumption of colored foods
- chewing tobacco
- gum disease
- smoking cigarettes
What Does a Teeth Whitening Procedure Entail?
Teeth whitening is the process of removing the stains from the teeth' surfaces without harming their natural structure.
The procedure depends on the type of teeth whitening treatment carried out. Here are the teeth whitening treatments we offer at Tilden Dental Group:
In-Office Whitening
In-office teeth whitening is conducted in a dental practice under the guidance of a well-trained dental expert.
At Tilden Dental Group, we begin by conducting a thorough screening process to determine your candidacy for teeth whitening. Next, we will clean your teeth and remove tartar deposits.
The whitening gel is then applied to the teeth and spread uniformly to get consistent results. After a few minutes, the gel will be rinsed off, and the procedure may be repeated if required.
Take-Home Whitening Kits
At Tilden Dental Group, we offer patients customized whitening kits that perfectly match their teeth. The kits contain a personalized whitening tray made from dental-grade plastic and a special whitening gel.
To use the kit, clean the teeth thoroughly, squeeze a small amount of whitening gel into the tray, spread it evenly, and place it on your teeth. Using this method, you can whiten your teeth as and when you please in the comfort of your home.
Laser-Assisted Whitening
Another highly efficient method we use at Tilden Dental Group is laser-assisted teeth whitening. The laser is used to activate the whitening gel that provides a higher level of whitening.
The gel’s molecules gently penetrate the enamel and bleach the staining particles to give you whiter teeth in only one dental visit. The process is preferred by patients who run on tight schedules or need a quick smile makeover.
