Residents can visit a Wichita dentist if they want a brighter, whiter set of teeth. First impressions last a long time and your smile plays a big part in first impressions – your teeth are bound to have you remembered, whether they are good or bad. People tend to judge a book by it’s cover, so if you have chipped, stained or missing teeth, it could taint the first impression someone forms about you.
Options include home teeth whitening kits that are available. However, a Wichita dentist could provide a more effective solution, administered in the dentist’s office. You may benefit from tooth whitening if you have discolored teeth or teeth stained by smoking; drinking tea, coffee and soft drinks; smoking and insufficient dental care.
Sensitive teeth or teeth stained by fluoride or tetracycline will require milder and more prolonged treatment. Tetracycline staining happens as a result of medication ingested during the formative phases of the teeth. Staining takes place deep under the enamel layer of the teeth, in the dentin. Crowns or veneers are normally a suitable alternative option.
Patients with light brown, orange or yellow teeth can often see dramatic results from teeth whitening treatments.
According to clinical trials, teeth can be an average of 8 shades brighter when teeth whitening is administered using hydrogen-peroxide gel is activated with a blue light.
A 5-step process is followed during tooth whitening. An initial checkup is done to establish the general condition of your teeth and gums. If the dentist is happy with the state of health of your teeth, he will proceed to place isolation materials onto your mouth and gums and a before photo will then be taken. The hydro-peroxide gel is then applied to the teeth and a special blue light is applied to the teeth. The light activates the peroxide and the process is repeated. The protective isolation materials will be removed and you can rinse out your mouth with water. After 90 minutes with your Wichita dentist, you will have a brand new smile!
