Teeth Whitening

Your smile’s brightness can be influenced by age and genetics, but daily habits play a crucial role in tooth coloration. Diet choices and oral hygiene routines significantly impact tooth color, with common beverages like coffee, tea, and red wine being primary staining agents. Tobacco use, besides its numerous health risks, is particularly notorious for causing yellow, brown, or gray tooth discoloration.

For achieving noticeably whiter teeth, professional dental whitening offers superior results compared to over-the-counter products. At MyDentist, we provide both in-office and take-home whitening solutions tailored to your needs.

While effective, in-office whitening isn’t suitable for everyone. Patients with:

• Diagnosed gum disease
• Sensitive teeth
• Dental restorations (crowns, veneers, or bonding)
• Brown or gray staining

May need alternative solutions, such as take-home whitening kits or other cosmetic options like veneers or crowns.

1. 1. Initial shade documentation
   2. Protective measures for soft tissues
   3. Application of professional-grade whitening gel
   4. Multiple 15-30 minute treatment cycles
   5. Final shade evaluation
   6. Maintenance instructions and take-home options if needed

   Note: Some temporary shade regression is normal in the days following treatment as teeth rehydrate.

Our custom take-home whitening systems offer superior results compared to over-the-counter options. These personalized trays are crafted from precise impressions of your teeth, ensuring complete coverage and minimal gum irritation.

Take-home whitening may not be effective for:

• Internal tooth discoloration
• Stains on dental restorations
• Certain types of deep staining

1. Custom impression taking
2. Professional tray fabrication
3. Personalized whitening gel selection
4. Treatment instructions (typically 2-4 hours daily)
5. Progress monitoring over 2-4 weeks

Important: Complete any necessary dental work before beginning whitening treatment.
