The Importance of Scheduling a Professional Teeth Whitening in St. George

We provide professional teeth whitening in St. George for those that are looking for an easy way to improve their smile.  Whitening your teeth is perhaps the fastest way to see significant improvements because as the stains are removed, your teeth will look brighter, healthier and more youthful in general.  Many of our patients find that they look years younger after this simple treatment because, as people, we associate white teeth with being younger in general.  This procedure is also incredibly affordable, so there is no reason to wait.  There are a few things you should know, however, before getting started –

The differences between whitening at the dentist or using a kit from the drugstore.

When you buy a drugstore solution, you can expect for the surface stains to be removed from your teeth, most of them that is.  Typically, the solution will not remove any of the deep stains or yellowing that can take place over time.  This is due to the chemical makeup of the solution itself.  Simultaneously, you need to be aware that if you buy something like a whitening toothpaste, the solution itself will not remain on your teeth long enough to produce significant enough results.  This leaves a lot of people disappointed with the process in general and looking for a better solution.  The risk involved with whitening at home is that when it does not work the first time, many people try again too quickly. This can lead to sensitive teeth.

When you schedule a professional teeth whitening in St. George, these risks are eliminated.  You will not need to worry about sensitivity because we will monitor your treatment, ensuring that the right amount of solution is used.  This means that we might recommend you waiting in between treatments if we feel that it could lead to permanent sensitivity.  Our goal is your long-term oral health, and we consider it in all recommendations that we make.  The good news, however, is that our whitening solution is stronger than what you buy in the store, so the results are dramatic and stunning.  Most people see an improvement of eight shades or more in a single treatment.  This means that you will not have a need to repeat the procedure immediately afterwards.

Simultaneously, our solution is designed to penetrate the enamel and start the process of oxidization.  This is where the molecules inside of your teeth start to change to reflect less light.  As they do, they appear colorless or white.  Since store-bought solutions do not penetrate the enamel, dark stains are left even after treatment.

By offering teeth whitening in St. George we give you an easy way to see a dramatic improvement to the appearance of your smile.  Given how easy it is, you can call, schedule an appointment and have whiter teeth in a week or less.  This is ideal if you have a wedding coming up, are getting ready for a family reunion, taking family pictures, etc.  For more information on the process, give us a call to speak with one of our knowledgeable staff members.
