Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental treatment that removes years of stains from teeth, making them appear brighter and improving their appearance. Unfortunately, many foods and drinks contain colored pigments that discolor our teeth over time. Teeth whitening is a harmless procedure that should be possible expertly in a dental office or home utilizing a whitening arrangement. The solution penetrates the enamel and starts the oxidation process, transforming molecules to reflect less or no light, making teeth appear colorless and white.

At 7 North Dental, we offer best-in-class teeth whitening in Phoenix that is protected and successful. Whitening endures a half year to two years; a few investigations report results enduring as long as ten years.

Why Should I Choose Professional Teeth Whitening?

Here are some interesting points before you settle on your decision.

  • Your dentist employs a whitening gel with significantly higher strength, which leads to quicker results.
  • You will receive custom whitening options with your dentist instead of one-size-fits-all products that may need to be fixed.
  • Safety is a top priority at your dentist, and they will help you avoid any sensitivity or other issues during whitening.

How Does Teeth Whitening Work?

You'll find a softer layer known as dentin beneath the resilient outer enamel layer that shields your teeth. Staining and discoloration can occur within both these layers of your teeth, and products like whitening toothpaste or mouth rinses can't reach the dentin layer of your teeth.

The whitening gel contains either carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide, an active ingredient that can reach both your enamel and dentin layer and break down the molecules discoloring your teeth. The result is a whiter, brighter smile!

What Are My Options for Teeth Whitening?

Your dentist in Phoenix offers two convenient options for teeth whitening that will achieve the results you want for your smile. Depending on your needs and lifestyle, choose an in-office treatment that will deliver immediate results or a take-home system that allows you to update your smile whenever you like.

In-Office Whitening:

  • We start by placing a protective barrier around your gums and soft tissues. This prevents any injuries from occurring due to excess whitening gel escaping.
  • Then, we'll apply a high-strength brightening gel and give now is the ideal time to set.
  • We finish with a fluoride treatment designed to reduce any sensitivity the whitening gel may cause.

Most patients report that their in-office treatment results in teeth ranging from six to ten shades lighter than before. This option is ideal for patients with hectic schedules who need quick results or may have a big event such as a wedding or vacation.

Take-Home Whitening Trays:

Patients who opt for a take-home whitening system will receive custom-made plastic whitening trays created using impressions we take of your teeth. We will supply you with high-strength gel and show you how to safely apply it to your trays.

Most patients achieve their desired results by whitening daily for one to two weeks. Subsequently, you can acquire extra whitening gel from our office whenever you wish to refresh your smile.
