Teeth Whitening
Nothing makes a great first impression like a beautiful, sparkling smile. It’s always fun to see the delight on our patients’ faces when they look in the mirror and see the results of a professional whitening treatment.
But these days, it can be a challenge to keep your teeth bright and white. Age is a factor, but consuming coffee and red wine, as well as using tobacco products, gradually causes our teeth to become dull and discolored.
Clark Dental Studio is pleased to offer an affordable and efficient solution that leaves you with a beautiful smile in just two short weeks.
Store-Bought vs. Professional Whitening
Overwhelmed by all the teeth whitening products you see at your local drug store? Do they all really do what they claim?
Despite their promises, all over-the-counter whitening products usually do is deliver disappointing results. These products will never produce the dramatic results you will see with professional teeth whitening treatments.
In fact, too much whitening can actually damage your dental enamel, so we suggest you leave this effective cosmetic treatment in the hands of professionals. We can prescribe prescription-strength whitening gels and customized products that will get your teeth the whitest they can be.
Convenient Take-Home Whitening Kits
For your convenience, we’re pleased to offer a take-home whitening kit that is completely customized to your needs. Unlike generic store-bought whitening trays, our trays are made using highly precise digital impressions of your teeth. This means the trays fit perfectly, cover all surfaces of your teeth evenly, and provide the most consistent results.
We will also prescribe a professional whitening gel that is appropriate for your level of sensitivity. Many patients we see have had a teeth whitening treatment in the past that caused gum irritation afterward. If this is the case for you, we’ll find a concentration of whitener that will get your teeth as white as they can be without the discomfort of irritated gums.
We’ll give you instructions on using the kit before you leave our office. Generally, you wear the trays every day for a period of about two weeks. After treatment is completed, you’ll be thrilled at the results you see in the mirror! No more dull or discolored teeth – just a big, bright smile!
Call Today for an Appointment
We always recommend a professional dental cleaning before any teeth whitening treatment. A cleaning at our Chattanooga dental office will clear away the plaque and tartar from your teeth. This leaves you with a “clean slate” so you can get the best possible results from your whitening.
The team at Clark Dental Studio would love to see you smile with confidence again. If you feel self-conscious that your teeth are not as bright as you’d like, please call to schedule a dental cleaning today!
Frequently Asked Questions
No. When used properly, teeth whitening products do not damage your teeth.
Tooth enamel is one of the hardest substances in the human body. It contains tiny openings that can catch stains and discoloration. The whitening product we use flows into these little holes to lighten the stained tissue under the enamel.
There are many options for whitening your teeth. These include over-the-counter toothpastes, rinses, and whitening strips. At Clark Dental Studio, we offer convenient customized take-home kits. We have found that doing whitening treatments every day at home for two weeks produces the most dramatic, long-lasting results.
Many things can contribute to staining and dulling of your teeth, including:
Age – As you age, your teeth darken due to everyday wear and tear and the accumulation of stains over the years.
Foods that stain your teeth – Drinking a lot of coffee, tea, or red wine and eating dark berries and other deeply colored food and beverages can cause staining over the years.
Tobacco use – Over time, nicotine leaves brownish deposits on your teeth, which soak into the enamel and cause discoloration.
Oral hygiene – Practicing good oral hygiene isn’t just good for your oral health. When you brush and floss regularly, you remove a lot of the debris that stains your teeth.
