Teeth Whitening Options at Brownstown Dental Care with Dr. Lauren Biernacki
If you’re interested in teeth whitening, we offer this service in-office at Browntown Dental. First, we determine why your teeth have discolored. This could be due to the normal aging process, intrinsic staining, or cavities causing discoloration. We like to start with a consultation to address the reason for the discoloration.
We provide in-office whitening using the Zoom system, and we also offer at-home whitening. For at-home whitening, we create custom trays, and you purchase whitening gel syringes to use at home.
Zoom whitening involves using the Zoom light and takes about two hours, so plan to be in our office for a while. The procedure is performed by our hygienist, and you’ll notice immediate results. This option is great for patients with upcoming events where they want their teeth to look particularly white.
Additionally, we offer at-home whitening so you can continue to maintain your results. Whitening is not permanent, so you need to commit to ongoing treatments. Typically, Zoom whitening should be redone every two years to maintain results.
Whitening is a completely safe procedure and the least invasive method to improve the aesthetics of your teeth. We don’t drill or change anything structurally; we only change the color. Occasionally, patients may experience sensitivity with whitening. If this happens, we can use a lower concentration of the whitening agent.
If you have periodontal disease or gum issues, in-office whitening is better because we can block out the gum tissue to ensure the whitening product only affects the teeth. Whitening is not damaging to the teeth; the main side effect is sensitivity. If you have sensitive teeth, let us know, and we’ll find a whitening solution for you.
Teeth Whitening Options at Brownstown Dental Care
Get a whiter smile at home or in-office
Teeth whitening is a popular cosmetic dental service that can brighten your smile several shades. Whether you’re preparing for a special event or simply wish to enhance your smile, teeth whitening at Brownstown Dental Care offers a path to whiter teeth.
The Whitening Process
It starts with understanding why teeth are discolored. Common causes include age, lifestyle habits like coffee or wine, and even medication. Tailoring the approach to these factors is key to effective whitening.
In-Office Whitening with Zoom
For those seeking quick and noticeable results, our in-office whitening using the Zoom system is a preferred option. This method uses a powerful gel activated by a special light over about two hours, and you’ll walk out of the office with a smile that’s noticeably brighter.
At-Home Whitening
If a more gradual approach suits you, we offer take-home whitening kits. Custom trays are made to fit perfectly, and with the supplied gel syringes, you can use them on your schedule, maintaining the brightness achieved with in-office treatments.
Safety and Care Considerations – Sensitivity and Gum Care
Some might feel temporary sensitivity, but this is typically mild. In-office whitening can avoid irritation by protecting gum tissues during treatment. Discuss any concerns with us, and we’ll adapt the process to suit your comfort.
Maintaining Your Bright Smile
Whitening isn’t permanent; regular touch-ups help maintain results. Brushing, flossing, and check-ups are crucial. Avoid stain-prone foods and drinks to extend the effects of whitening.
Experience and Personalized Service
At Brownstown Dental Care, Dr. Lauren Biernacki and the team provide personalized care tailored to your whitening needs, whether it’s in-office precision or the convenience of at-home options. Our goal is to give you the smile you desire with minimal hassle.
