Do you wish your smile was whiter? Professional teeth whitening offered by our Orem, UT, dentists, Dr. Robert Rogers and Dr. Brad Rogers of Rogers Family Dentistry, will help you revitalize your smile.
Professional teeth whitening advantages
Visiting the Orem, UT, dental office for a teeth whitening session offers these important benefits:
- Visible Results: Have you been applying over-the-counter whitening products to your teeth yet have seen no change in your smile? The problem may be due to the strength of hydrogen peroxide, a common ingredient in whitening products. Hydrogen peroxide breaks apart and removes dark pigments in your tooth enamel that cause stains. Your dentist uses a whitening gel that contains a higher formulation of hydrogen peroxide than over-the-counter products. Many people see a three-to-eight shade improvement in their teeth after professional whitening.
- Younger Appearance: A dull or yellow smile is often associated with aging. If your smile isn't quite as white as it once was, you may look older than you'd like. Whitening your teeth is a simple, inexpensive way to improve your appearance.
- Reduced Risk of Sensitivity: Painful sensitivity can be a problem if a whitening product touches your gums or the product is too strong. During your professional whitening session, your dentist places a protective gel on your gums and keeps your mouth away from your teeth with plastic retractors. He can also adjust the strength of the whitening agent if you've had a problem with sensitivity in the past.
- Fast Results: If you need a whiter smile for a wedding, prom, or another special event, you probably don't want to wait a month or two to see a change in your teeth. Luckily, an in-office, professional whitening session usually takes an hour or less. If you prefer to whiten at home, your dentist can also give you a whitening kit that consists of trays and whitening gel. At-home whitening generally takes about two weeks. You'll wear your trays every day for a few hours if you choose this option.
