Is Tooth Whitening Safe?
At Smiles by Sands, your comfort and safety is our primary concern. The Zoom! process used to successfully brighten your smile has been approved by the American Dental Association and the Federal Drug Administration. Before deciding on any cosmetic treatment, an evaluation will determine whether personal health issues, gum disease, cavities or allergies dictate another solution to your dental needs.
Are there Any Side Effects?
Side effects to tooth whitening are minimal. Some people experience sensitivity to hot and cold beverages and foods for a day or two.
What are My Tooth Whitening Options?
Whitening toothpastes and over-the-counter whiteners are limited in results and often leave the consumer disillusioned. Professional tooth whitening has become a very popular method for achieving a noticeable smile makeover with instantaneous results.
At Smiles by Sands, we offer two solutions for your tooth whitening needs. After discussing the options, the course of treatment is your decision to make.
- Dr. Jamie Sands or Dr. Jason Sands will apply the whitening solution to your teeth in the office. Then, a laser is used to speed up the process for quick and optimal results. At the end of the visit, you will receive home application information and treatments to guarantee the whitest smile possible.
- If a one hour office visit does not fit into your busy schedule, Dr. Sands will take an impression of your teeth to create a customized bleaching tray. Then, you will be sent home with the instructions and solutions necessary to achieve a whiter, brighter smile with in-home treatments.
What does the Procedure Involve?
Before any course of treatment is undertaken, Dr. Jamie Sands or Dr. Jason Sands will meet with you to examine your mouth, gums and teeth and ensure overall good dental health. If other dental concerns are noted, the problems may be addressed before the whitening procedure can take place.
During the tooth whitening process, a special dental bleaching gel is used on the teeth. Then a special laser light is implemented to activate the bleaching gel. Within one hour, your teeth will have lightened and brightened up to 8 shades! You’ll be given custom bleaching trays to use at home to maintain your white smile.
Is tooth Whitening for Me?
Unless other health issues preclude tooth whitening, the majority of patients are pleased with this instant method for creating a gorgeous smile. In fact, Smiles by Sands has a tooth whitening smile gallery of before and after pictures to help you decide if the process is right you.
