Is it Recommended That Anyone Not Undergo Teeth Whitening?
For most, a beautiful, whiter smile is within reach. Charleston dentist Dr. Greenberg of Mouth Carolina offers tooth whitening services to rejuvenate smiles in as little as two hours a day. Whiter, brighter smiles are no longer only for the Hollywood elite, and at-home teeth whitening is an affordable way for the everyday patient to experience a more brilliant, amazing smile quickly and easily!
In-home teeth whitening is easy. Dr. Greenberg will create a custom tooth whitening tray for patients that fits their teeth, and will send the patient home with whitening solution. Dr. Greenberg will educate patients on how to whiten their teeth in the privacy of their own home, and will send them home to enjoy the benefits of at-home whitening kits. These whitening kits are much stronger and more efficient than over-the-counter whitening products, and use a professional grade of teeth bleaching products to allow patients to achieve that beautiful smile they’ve always wanted!
Before undergoing tooth whitening, Dr. Greenberg of Mouth Carolina in Charleston will first consult with patients to ensure they are viable candidates for teeth whitening. Not everyone is able to use tooth whitening products to whiten their smile. Patients who have restorations in their mouth, such as crowns or veneers, are unable to undergo teeth whitening because restorations will not bleach with the rest of the teeth. These restorations were made to match the patient’s tooth color, so new restorations will be needed if patients want to whiten their teeth several shades lighter.
Additionally, patients with severely sensitive teeth may not want to undergo teeth whitening, either. Bleaching teeth may cause temporary sensitivity, and if patients already have sensitivity to hot and cold, they may want to wait to have teeth whitening done until after they have used dental grade products to help eliminate or reduce the amount of sensitivity they experience. Once their sensitivity is under control, Dr. Greenberg can arrange for a tooth whitening kit to be made for the patient.
Dr. Greenberg strongly encourages that patients have a complete consultation and examination before having tooth whitening done. Call Mouth Carolina Dentistry, PA of Charleston today to learn more about the amazing benefits of at-home teeth whitening!
