TEETH WHITENING

At Harris Dental in Gilbert, AZ, we understand that a bright, confident smile can make a difference. That’s why we offer professional teeth whitening, one of the most sought-after cosmetic dental procedures. Our advanced whitening solutions are designed to quickly and effectively lighten discolored teeth, giving you the brilliant smile you’ve always wanted.

While many med spas and social media companies offer teeth whitening, only a qualified dentist like Dr. Harris can prescribe the most potent and effective whitening agents. We recognize your busy lifestyle, so we provide various professional whitening options to suit your needs:

ZOOM in-office treatment: Our most concentrated formulation for dramatic results.
Opalescence Go take-home trays: Convenient whitening at home.
Whitening strips: Perfect for touch-ups.

WHAT ARE THE DETAILS OF TEETH WHITENING?

Our whitening procedure is safe, quick, and cost-effective. You can choose to whiten just your upper teeth or both upper and lower, depending on your smile.

We’ll create custom tooth bleaching splints for you within a couple of days. When placed in these clear splints, our special bleaching agent gently bubbles away stains from your enamel without altering tooth structure or existing dental work. After achieving your desired brightness, only occasional treatments are needed for maintenance.

HOW IS TEETH WHITENING DONE?

At Harris Dental in Gilbert, AZ, the teeth whitening process is designed to be both effective and convenient. Here’s a step-by-step overview of how it’s done:

Initial Consultation: During your first visit, our dental professionals will assess your oral health and discuss your whitening goals to ensure you are a suitable candidate for teeth whitening.
Taking Impressions: We take an impression of your teeth to create a custom-fitted “mouthguard” or “stent.” This personalized appliance ensures that the bleaching agent is held securely and evenly against the surface of your teeth, maximizing the whitening effect.
Custom Mouthguard Creation: Using the impressions, a specialized lab crafts your custom mouthguard. This step is crucial as a well-fitting mouthguard enhances the effectiveness of the whitening process by ensuring that the bleaching agent is applied uniformly.
At-Home Treatment: Once your custom mouthguard is ready, you’ll receive it along with the professional-grade bleaching agent. You’ll use this mouthguard at home, applying the bleaching agent and wearing the mouthguard for about 3-4 hours each night for a week or two. This flexibility allows you to whiten your teeth at your convenience, fitting the treatment into your schedule easily.
Monitoring Progress: Throughout the treatment period, you may have follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and ensure the whitening process is proceeding as expected. Our dental team will provide guidance and address any concerns you may have during this time.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Teeth Whitening

1. What is teeth whitening and how does it work?

Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure designed to lighten the color of your teeth and remove stains and discoloration. The process typically involves the application of a bleaching agent, such as hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, which breaks down stains and whitens teeth.

2. How is tooth whitening different from tooth bleaching?

Tooth whitening and tooth bleaching are often used interchangeably, but there is a slight difference. Tooth whitening refers to restoring the natural color of the teeth by removing surface stains, while tooth bleaching goes beyond this to whiten teeth beyond their natural color using stronger bleaching agents.

3. Is professional teeth whitening at Harris Dental better than over-the-counter products?

Yes, professional teeth whitening at Harris Dental, serving Gilbert, Mesa, Chandler, and many more areas, is typically more effective than over-the-counter products. Our dental professionals use higher concentrations of bleaching agents and custom-fit trays to ensure even and thorough whitening, providing better and longer-lasting results.

4. What can I expect during and after a teeth whitening treatment?

During a teeth whitening treatment at Harris Dental, a protective barrier is applied to your gums before the bleaching agent is applied to your teeth. The treatment usually takes about an hour, and you may notice immediate results. After the treatment, it’s normal to experience some sensitivity, but this typically subsides within a few days. To maintain your bright smile, avoid staining foods and beverages and follow a good oral hygiene routine.
