Teeth Whitening/Bleaching

Overview

At Ray Lawson Dentistry, we offer a remarkable dental solution – our Teeth Brightening service. This cosmetic procedure, alternatively referred to as teeth bleaching, aims to enhance the shade of your teeth while eliminating any unsightly stains or discoloration. Renowned for its effectiveness, this treatment has gained significant popularity in helping individuals achieve a more luminous and captivating smile.

Factors to Consider:

Considering teeth whitening at Ray Lawson Dentistry involves several crucial factors:

Comprehensive Dental Assessment: Prior to embarking on a teeth whitening journey, a thorough oral examination becomes paramount. This step enables the evaluation of your oral health, determining the appropriateness of teeth whitening for your specific case. Any existing dental issues such as cavities, gum disease, or tooth sensitivity would need to be managed before commencing the whitening process.
Varieties of Staining: The efficacy of teeth whitening is notably effective against specific types of stains like those arising from dietary choices, beverages, smoking, or the natural aging process. Intrinsic stains triggered by factors such as tooth trauma or particular medications may not respond as favorably to whitening. Our adept dental professionals can analyze the stain’s origin and prescribe the optimal course of treatment.
Sensitivity Consideration: Teeth sensitivity is a common occurrence following teeth whitening procedures. Ray Lawson Dentistry prioritizes your comfort, offering guidance to mitigate sensitivity both during and after treatment. Adhering to their recommendations and utilizing suggested desensitizing products stands imperative.
Sustaining the Outcome: It’s imperative to recognize that teeth whitening delivers results that are not everlasting. Over time, the effects can diminish. To prolong the radiance of your smile, diligent adherence to sound oral hygiene practices is pivotal. Steering clear of or minimizing consumption of staining agents and arranging regular dental cleanings are vital steps in upholding your whitening results.

Initial Assessment: Our skilled dental professionals will evaluate the condition of your teeth and gums, determining the suitability of teeth whitening. Photographs and shade measurements may be taken to monitor your progress effectively.
Preparation: Prior to commencing the whitening procedure, our team will meticulously safeguard your gums and lips using a protective barrier or rubber shield, ensuring no contact with the whitening agent.
Application of Premium Whitening Solution: Employing a high-quality whitening gel or solution containing hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, we administer the treatment to your teeth. The choice of whitening agent and its concentration is tailored to your specific needs.
