In recent years, teeth whitening has become very popular. A whiter, brighter smile is one of the first things that most people notice about your appearance. It’s no mystery that whiter teeth make us look healthier, younger, more attractive, and make us feel more confident. This is why we have offered complimentary whitening to all our new patients for the past 10 years. We have seen that patients with more attractive teeth value their dental health more, which is a chief goal at Capitol Dental.
Although whitening is very popular, there is much confusion about the wide array of whitening products and procedures that are now available. Today, there are hundreds of products that all claim to give you whiter teeth in a very short time. The results of these can vary from impressive to disappointing. We have taken the guess work out of this by doing the research and selecting the most effective materials for our patients.
Our at-home whitening is done with a special bleaching gel that is stronger and more effective than any over the counter products, while still being safe to use. It is applied to the teeth using thin, custom fitting plastic trays or using bleaching strips that are placed over the front teeth. We also offer an in-office whitening service using a higher concentration carbamide peroxide bleaching product which gives a much quicker result than the at-home whitening.
During a new patient exam or cosmetic consultation at our office, we will determine the possible outcome of whitening. There are many things that determine an appropriate treatment plan to whiten a smile. Things like existing anterior dental work, internal discoloration of the teeth, gum tissue health and dental health are among them. If a whiter, brighter smile is important to you, let us help you in a way that improves your overall dental health as well.
