Just about anyone can benefit from tooth whitening. However, treatment may not be as effective for some as it is for others. With an oral exam, Dr. Mehta can determine if you are a candidate for this procedure, including a shade assessment.
Absolutely! A bright, beautiful smile can make a big difference. The In-Office Whitening System makes it easier and faster than ever before.
By following some simple post whitening care instructions, your teeth will always be lighter than they were before. We recommend flossing, brushing twice daily, and touch-ups with a take-home gel. These are professional formula products designed specifically to keep your teeth their brightest. They are available through our office.
Yes! Consulting Dr. Mehta is always the first step to whitening your teeth safely. Over-the-counter tooth whitening strips, brush-on gels and toothpastes take weeks or months to whiten your teeth just a few shades. In-Office Whitening is clinically proven to whiten your teeth eight shades* in one hour or six shades* in just one weekend.
The In-Office system’s whitening gel’s active ingredient is Hydrogen Peroxide. As hydrogen peroxide is broken down, oxygen enters the enamel and dentin, bleaching any colored substance while keeping the structure of the tooth unchanged. We activate the Hydrogen Peroxide in the office by mixing the gel which helps it penetrate the surface of the tooth.
No. During the procedure, patients can actually watch television or listen to music. Many fall asleep.
The entire procedure takes just over one hour. The procedure begins with a preparation period followed by one hour of bleaching. A fluoride treatment completes the procedure (we recommend a cleaning prior to the actual In-Office Whitening session).
The take-home gel is designed to be worn between four and eight hours per application. Dr. Mehta will advise you on how long you should wear each application. A recent study showed that you can achieve an average improvement of six shades* after just three nights of use. Dr. Mehta will help you determine how many applications are right for you.
