A brighter smile, in complete safety
Over time, several factors can dull the natural brightness of your teeth: coffee, tea, red wine, cigarettes, and even certain medications. Even with good oral hygiene, it is normal for teeth to darken over the years. Fortunately, it is possible to regain a brighter smile with a home whitening treatment prescribed by your dentist.
At Dentown Dental Center, we offer a safe, effective, and personalized method: whitening with custom-made trays that you can use in the comfort of your own home.
Teeth Whitening
How does at-home whitening work?
The treatment begins at the clinic with a complete dental evaluation. The dentist checks the overall condition of your teeth and gums to ensure that whitening is appropriate for you. If you have cavities or gum problems, they will need to be treated before whitening can be considered.
Next, impressions are taken to create custom trays. These trays fit the shape of your teeth perfectly and ensure even distribution of the whitening gel. At a second appointment, you will go home with your trays, the prescribed gel, and detailed instructions.
The treatment usually takes place over a period of 10 to 14 days, depending on the initial level of discoloration and the desired result. Each day, you will wear the trays for a specific amount of time, as recommended by your dentist.
Why choose a professional method?
Although products sold in pharmacies may seem attractive, they are often less effective and carry certain risks: uneven results, gum irritation, increased sensitivity, etc.
By choosing a professionally supervised whitening treatment, you enjoy several advantages:
- A safe and effective product with controlled concentration;
- A customized treatment with trays adjusted to your mouth;
- Clinical supervision to answer your questions or adjust the treatment as needed.
Our team ensures that everything is in place to maximize your comfort and the success of the treatment.
For what types of stains or yellowing?
Teeth whitening is particularly effective on extrinsic stains, i.e., those caused by external factors such as diet, tobacco, or coffee. It can also reduce certain discolorations associated with the natural aging of enamel.
However, the treatment is less effective—or even ineffective, in certain cases:
- Deep intrinsic stains caused by dental trauma or certain medications;
- The presence of restorations (crowns, veneers, or fillings), which do not whiten;
- Discoloration related to enamel malformation.
This is why a preliminary consultation is essential to determine whether you are a good candidate for whitening.
