Teeth Whitening in Scottsdale AZ

Well, there is a difference, technically.

Teeth Whitening is a method where we remove the stains from the enamel surface using either chemicals or abrasives by physically in the dentist office. These are safe chemicals that we use.

Teeth Bleaching is somewhat different, we use a form of either hydrogen peroxide or something called carbamide peroxide, and that's a bleaching procedure.

Teeth whitening treatment in Scottsdale begins with a discussion, to make sure there's no caries such as gum disease. Our dentist makes sure to get all the soft tissues out of the way so they don't come to harm from the whitening gel itself. We are going to use dental lightening, the component used in lightening is usually the hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide. The percentage of the lighting solution is made a noticeable to whiten the teeth without harming them.

One of the biggest questions you probably want to know is, how much it costs to get those pearly whites? Teeth whitening costs vary with the type of treatment and where you want your teeth whitening done.

It depends on how well you look after your teeth after you've whitened them and as long as you keep your whitening topped up by whiten your teeth using your custom-made trays. Sometimes they made dull down in color, but they should never really go back to the color they were before for years and years. The key is to keep your custom-made trays nice and safe and then you can always go back to your dentist or a professional outlet to buy some more of the gels and you can always re-whiten your teeth.

The professional teeth whitening has a couple of options. The most popular option is to do the in-office laser whitening, it's under an hour the results are instant, everything is taken care on that same day. The second option is we can make you take home trays that are custom fit for your teeth and then which you would put a whitening gel in and do four to five times in a row. Some people do both of them, where you get the in-office whitening, get the instant result and then they get the trays made so that they can freshen their teeth throughout the year.

The common side effect is, a little sensitivity may occur during the bleaching process. The bleaching solution has penetrated your enamel to a point where it is starting to affect your nerve endings on your tooth so you need to make sure that you back off if you are ever starting to feel any of these symptoms, because if you keep bleaching you can be doing damage to your teeth. Immediately go to your dentist if you are having these problems when you are bleaching your teeth.
