In what situation is Tooth Whitening Treatment from your Charleston Dentist not recommended?

In as little as two hours a day, patients can enjoy the benefits of tooth whitening from Dr. Andrew Greenberg, the premier Charleston dentist. At Mouth Carolina Dentistry, PA, patients can transform their smiles with quick and easy at-home tooth whitening kits.

In-office tooth whitening is not offered at Mouth Carolina Dentistry, PA because it offers no lasting advantages over the bleaching trays that can be used by patients in their own home. In addition, in-office whitening is far more expensive to the patient due to higher cost of materials and chair time.

These whitening kits include a custom-made whitening tray and bleaching gels for patients to utilize in the privacy of their own home to help lighten their teeth’s enamel. This will help reduce the appearance of stains and discoloration that may have been caused by various factors including age, coffee, tea, and tobacco.

Before choosing tooth whitening, it is essential that patients come to Mouth Carolina Dentistry, PA in Charleston for a consultation. Not everyone is a viable candidate for tooth whitening and bleaching. In some situations, Dr. Andrew may suggest alternative treatments. The most common reason tooth whitening may not be recommended is sensitivity. For patients that already have problems with sensitive teeth, whitening may aggravate the condition.

Patients who have restorations in their smile, such as crowns, veneers, and fillings, may need additional treatment. Whitening products will not affect these restorations, but will lighten your natural tooth enamel. If your restorations are discolored, they can be replaced to match your new, sparklingly white teeth. Additionally, tooth whitening is not recommended for pregnant women.
