Many people become dissatisfied with their smile. Usually two common factors are the reason to dissatisfaction with your pearly whites. First, they are no longer white, but have become a dingy yellow. Second, you are missing teeth due to having them pulled in the past or some other mouth trauma that has greatly affected your teeth. Either way, you can find help for your smile at Teeth Whitening Pickering dentists and Dental Implants Specialists.
What can you expect from a dentist when you choose to have your teeth whitened?
Dentists will want to set up a consultation with you to discuss your eating/drinking habits and oral health care. This will help them determine if you are a good candidate for teeth whitening. If you are unwilling to change either of these habits to help keep your teeth their whitest and cleanest then you probably aren’t a good candidate for teeth whitening.
Dentists will discuss with you the different teeth whitening options. Most use hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide and a laser or curing light during the treatment. Also, they will discuss the number of treatments needed and cost of the treatments. This will vary, depending on how stained your teeth are and how intensive the treatments will need to be.
The procedure will include polishing of the teeth, application of a whitening gel, and the use of a laser or curing light to activate the gel.
You will be given a list of what foods and drinks to avoid to prolong and maintain the whiteness of your teeth. Foods and beverages that cause teeth discoloration and that will need to be avoided or greatly limited are coffee, tea, wine, tomato-based foods, and also smoking.
If you are in need of dental implants to improve your smile, you will definitely want to go to a dental implant specialist to discuss your options as they vary from person to person. Depending on the implants and the amount of work needed to be completed, cost variance is also a factor.
