Teeth Whitening Service in Carstairs, AB

Teeth whitening at Carstairs Dental has never been easier, faster, more effective or affordable – and is available to those who want to freshen up their smiles by addressing stains, darkening or yellowing of teeth, or who are getting new dentistry and want to match porcelain to their ‘whiter’ teeth.

Requiring a quick thirty-minute appointment for impressions to make custom trays – you can be whitening your teeth in the comfort of your home and noticing the changes to the colour of your teeth after just a few applications.

Our teeth are not naturally white. Their actual color ranges from light greyish to yellow shades, as per the Canadian Dental Association.

However, many feel that the brighter their smile, the more inviting it is as well. Unfortunately, the food and drinks we consume can leave stains on our teeth. Also, aging can cause our teeth to discolour.

If you want to whiten your teeth, tooth-whitening options are now available in dental offices. Note, though, that whitening treatments only work on the natural teeth enamel. Teeth that have already received dental work may not match the whiteness of the natural teeth after the procedure.

Also, teeth whitening treatments are not permanent. You may have to redo the treatment after a few years, or for a shorter period, depending on your lifestyle.

NEW ADULT PATIENT FORM | NEW CHILD PATIENT FORM

One tooth whitening procedure done in dental offices is bleaching. There are various tooth-bleaching products and techniques available to patients. Make sure to talk to your Carstairs teeth whitening dentist first to confirm if the bleaching procedure can match the results you desire.

Manufacturers of teeth whitening products put time and energy into creating bleaching gels that whiten teeth in minimal time without causing extreme tooth sensitivity.  Today’s whitening solutions contain ingredients that buffer the side effects of bleach and help reduce sensitivity that is often associated with teeth whitening.

Some tooth sensitivity has to be expected when using a whitening kit – it shows that the solution is working – however, prolonged or intense sensitivity is not the goal and can be avoided by starting slow and working up to maximum wear-time.

You can also use a whitening kit from home. This treatment usually requires two dental visits. On the first visit, your dentist in Carstairs makes an impression of your teeth with the custom-made clear plastic trays.

For your next visit, you’ll be asked to try on the trays to ensure proper fitting. You need to wear these trays, which come with a whitening solution, overnight or twice a day for 30 minutes. You may experience tooth sensitivity, although this should subside once you’ve stopped the treatment.
