What to Expect During Your Professional Teeth Whitening Appointment
Initial Consultation and Assessment
Before any whitening treatment begins, Dr. Almeida will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of your teeth and gums. This examination helps determine the cause of discolouration and ensures you're a good candidate for whitening. We'll discuss your goals, assess your current tooth shade, and create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
Professional In-Office Whitening
Our in-office whitening treatment uses professional-grade bleaching agents that are significantly more effective (and safer) than over-the-counter products. The procedure typically takes 60-90 minutes and can lighten your teeth by 6-10 shades in a single visit. Dr. Almeida carefully applies the whitening gel to your teeth while protecting your gums with a special barrier to prevent irritation.
Custom Take-Home Whitening Kits
For those who prefer the convenience of whitening at home, we offer customized take-home kits with professional-strength whitening gel. These custom-fitted trays ensure even application and optimal results while minimizing the risk of gum irritation. Take-home kits typically provide noticeable results within weeks.
Who is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?
Most patients with healthy teeth and gums can benefit from professional whitening. The treatment works best on yellow or brown stains caused by aging, food, beverages, or tobacco use. However, whitening may not be suitable for patients with:
- Extensive tooth decay or gum disease
- Extremely sensitive teeth
- Allergies to bleaching agents
- Unrealistic expectations about results
During your consultation, Dr. Almeida will determine if whitening is right for you and discuss alternative cosmetic options if needed.
Why Choose Professional Teeth Whitening Over Store-Bought Products
Professional teeth whitening at our Kitchener dental office offers several advantages over over-the-counter whitening products. Our whitening systems also provide superior results and are much safer. Our products include precisely controlled bleaching agents and proper levels of hydrogen peroxide that are more effective than store-bought products. We’ll also monitor your treatment to prevent sensitivity and ensure optimal results.
Unlike generic whitening strips or gels, our professional treatments are customized to your specific needs and dental health status. We can address various types of staining, including discolouration from coffee, tea, wine, tobacco, and even certain medications.
We Can Help You Maintain Your Bright Smile
To maximize the longevity of your whitening results, we recommend:
- Avoiding staining foods and beverages for 48 hours post-treatment
- Using a straw when drinking coffee, tea, or wine
- Maintaining excellent oral hygiene with regular brushing and flossing
- Scheduling routine dental cleanings every six months
- Considering periodic touch-up treatments as recommended
Teeth whitening results typically last from a few months to up to 3 years, depending on your lifestyle choices and habits.
