Can Yellow Teeth Become White Again?

At Rosecrans Square Dental, we specialize in professional teeth whitening to help enhance the beauty of your smile. This intricate process begins with our experienced dentists conducting a comprehensive oral examination to assess your teeth’s current state and identify any dental issues that need to be resolved before the whitening treatment begins.

Once we determine that your teeth and gums are healthy, we carefully record the present shade of your teeth to help us correctly evaluate the whitening degree after the procedure. We then thoroughly clean your teeth, removing any surface stains and plaque to ensure the whitening solution works optimally.

At Rosecrans Square Dental, we prioritize your safety and comfort during the whitening process. We apply a protective gel or rubber shield to keep your gums and mouth safe from the whitening solution. Our dentists then apply whitening solutions onto your teeth, which contain potent bleaching agents capable of penetrating your teeth’ enamel and dentin layers.

In some instances, we use a special light to expedite the bleaching process. Based on your preferred level of whitening, we may repeat this procedure multiple times.

Once the final whitening solution application is complete, we thoroughly rinse your teeth and may apply a fluoride treatment or recommend desensitizing toothpaste or mouthwash to alleviate any tooth sensitivity, a common side effect of the whitening process. We then compare your new tooth shade with the initial one to measure the treatment’s success.

At Rosecrans Square Dental, we aim to provide you with impressive teeth whitening results that can effectively lighten your teeth by several shades. However, the final results may differ according to your natural tooth color, the type of stains present, and your oral hygiene habits.

At Rosecrans Square Dental, we offer comprehensive teeth whitening services that generally take about an hour to an hour and a half. The duration can extend up to two hours based on the specific whitening method we use and the degree of discoloration present in your teeth. This time frame includes the initial preparation where our experienced dentists clean your teeth and prepare the powerful bleaching gel for the whitening process.

The whitening agent we use typically needs to sit on your teeth for about 30 to 60 minutes to be effective. During this time, our dentists monitor the progress of the whitening and make necessary adjustments. This process may be repeated several times within your appointment to achieve the desired results, especially if you have severe staining or discoloration.

The length of your whitening session may also be influenced by your comfort and tolerance, as some whitening agents can cause temporary sensitivity. Our dentists ensure the procedure does not cause undue discomfort by closely monitoring your comfort throughout the procedure.

Once the treatment is complete, we often apply a fluoride gel to help protect your teeth and reduce sensitivity. We also spend a few minutes discussing aftercare and any necessary follow-up appointments, which adds to the overall time spent at our clinic.

If you’ve been considering teeth whitening, we want you to know why getting your teeth professionally whitened by our expert team is worth the investment.

Our experienced dental team offers professional teeth whitening services with a series of benefits:

● Dramatic and Long-Lasting Results: We utilize top-tier, dental-grade bleaching agents that can lighten your teeth several shades in just one session. This professional approach provides more significant whitening than over-the-counter options and results can last for years with proper maintenance.
● Personalized Treatment: Our dentists tailor the whitening treatment to your unique needs, adjusting the level of whiteness to a shade that complements your complexion.
● Safety: When you choose Rosecrans Square Dental for teeth whitening, you’re choosing safety. Our team is trained to protect your gums and soft tissues from potential irritation caused by whitening agents.
● Smile Enhancement: A brighter, whiter smile can make a pleasant impression on others and enhance self-esteem. This can have significant benefits in both your personal and professional life.

Professional teeth whitening can be a valuable investment for those seeking a brighter smile. However, we encourage all our patients to carefully weigh the benefits, costs, and potential side effects against their individual needs and expectations. Our qualified and experienced dentists are always available to discuss your options and determine if professional teeth whitening is the right choice for you.

The cost of teeth whitening can vary significantly, and we strive to offer our patients a wide range of solutions to fit their budgets and requirements. Our professional in-office teeth whitening treatments are carried out by experienced dentists and are priced between $300 to $1,500. This pricing range is determined by factors like as the procedure, the dentist’s experience, and the location of our practice.

The number of treatments needed to attain the desired level of whiteness might also affect the overall cost. While some dental insurance plans may cover a portion of the cost of in-office bleaching, we encourage our patients to check with their insurance provider first to understand their coverage.

We offer consultations to give you a personalized estimate based on your specific needs and preferences. It is essential to understand that teeth whitening is not a one-time treatment, and regular touch-ups are necessary to maintain your desired shade. We also ensure our patients are aware of potential side effects like tooth sensitivity or gum irritation and discuss these factors thoroughly before deciding on a tooth whitening method.
