Teeth Whitening
At Cloud9 Dental Care, we offer teeth whitening, also known as bleaching, as a convenient solution to brighten your smile. Discoloration of teeth can result from various factors, including aging, teeth grinding, poor oral hygiene, consumption of colored foods and drinks like coffee or tea, tobacco use, certain medications, and excessive fluoride ingestion.
During the teeth whitening procedure at Cloud9 Dental Care, your gums are carefully protected, and a whitening solution is applied to your teeth, which is then activated either with a special light in our clinic or with a custom-made tray provided for at-home use.
- Teeth whitening is considered safe under the supervision of a dentist, with many clinical studies supporting its safety and effectiveness. However, it’s not recommended for children under 13 years old, pregnant, or lactating women.
- After whitening, certain post-treatment care instructions are advised to maximize the results, such as avoiding colored liquids and tobacco for a few days and maintaining good oral hygiene habits.
- Some patients may experience post-treatment sensitivity, which typically resolves within a few days. Cloud9 Dental Care provides desensitizing agents to alleviate any discomfort.
- We offer different types of whitening methods, including tray-based whitening and chair-side whitening, with the latter offering faster and more effective results.
- It’s important to note that whitening doesn’t work on veneers or crowns, as it only affects natural tooth structure.
- The cost of teeth whitening varies depending on the technology used, and we encourage scheduling a consultation with Cloud9 Dental Care for personalized information.
- Teeth cleaning (scaling) and whitening are distinct procedures, with cleaning focusing on removing macro stains and deposits on the tooth surface, while whitening targets microscopic stains within the tooth pores.
- We recommend undergoing a teeth cleaning before whitening to ensure optimal results. Additionally, maintaining good oral hygiene and avoiding excessive consumption of staining substances can help prolong the whitening effects.
- If you’re considering a crown on your front tooth, we advise whitening your teeth one week before the crown measurement appointment to ensure a consistent shade match with your existing teeth. This allows our team to select a crown shade that complements your bright, white smile.
