Your Brighter Smile Starts Here
Drugstore and supermarket shelves hold an array of tooth whitening products in the form of toothpastes, tooth whitening strips, tooth whitening pens, dental rinses, and tooth whitening kits. We offer a brighter and healthier approach to smiles. Unlike drugstore dental whitening our direct and indirect teeth whitening methods are personalized for optimum protection and brightness. At Highbridge Dental Associates, our protocols safely, comfortably, and quickly transform stained and discolored teeth into a great smile.
Benefits of Professional Teeth Whitening
Our professional teeth whitening services offer multiple advantages, including:
- Removes stains from coffee, tea, colas, and red wine
- Eliminates stains caused by pigmented foods, such as cherries and blueberries
- Removes discoloration from smoking and chewing tobacco
- Reduces staining from certain medications
- Removes tartar deposits and bacterial pigmentation
- Brightens dull-colored teeth
- Helps create your “Dream Smile”
Safe Teeth Whitening Procedure
Our professional teeth whitening treatments are either directly supervised using the Boost In-House system or indirectly supervised with custom-fitted whitening trays. Each treatment is preceded by a thorough examination of your teeth and gums to determine the most suitable method for your specific needs.
We will assess the type of stains you have, whether extrinsic (surface stains from food, drinks, etc.) or intrinsic (deeper stains or discoloration inside the tooth), to create a tailored treatment plan that ensures your safety while achieving the best results.
Custom-Fitted Tray Activated Dental Whitening
If the dental examination is favorable for teeth whitening and you prefer indirectly supervised tooth whitening, we begin with a hygienic cleaning and polishing of your teeth. This is followed by taking a detailed impression of your teeth to create individualized, custom-fitted trays for your upper and lower teeth. We then give you the personalized trays, properly formulated whitening gel, and detailed teeth whitening treatment instructions for two hour daily or nightly applications during a period of about two weeks. At the end of this period, you will have a bright and shining smile.
Maintaining Your Beautiful Smile After Whitening
The longevity of your whitening results depends on several factors, including:
- Good dental hygiene: Regular brushing and flossing help maintain your bright smile.
- Diet and habits: Avoiding foods and drinks that stain your teeth (e.g., coffee, wine) can help prolong your results.
- Regular dental checkups: Ongoing visits to Highbridge Dental Associates can help preserve your smile and catch any issues early.
With proper care, the results from professional teeth whitening can last for a long time, keeping your smile bright and radiant.
