Grand Rapids Teeth Whitening | Teeth Whitening in Grand Rapids Michigan
Looking for a brighter smile? Do you want to gain back that confidence with whiter teeth? Grand Rapids Teeth Whitening center Kent Family Dental is your home for quality Grand Rapids Cosmetic Dentistry. If you have teeth that are stained or discolored, you may want to join the millions that are making teeth whitening part of their standard cosmetic dentistry practice. You have probably seen many store bought versions of teeth whitening products but nothing works faster, last longer, or provides you with the results as a whitening process applied by your dentist at Kent Family Dental.
Teeth whitening has become one of the most common treatments in cosmetic dentistry. The most effective teeth whitening process available is applied at a dentist office by an experienced cosmetic dentistry professional. Store bought whitening kits or strips do not provide the teeth whitening results or have as lasting of an effect as an in-office teeth whitening treatment. Talk to one of our friendly staff to learn more about restoring your smile to its original color. It is very common for teeth to stain or discolor over time. This is usually caused by the consumption of stain prone foods and liquids such as tea, coffee, and red wine. These stains and discolorations can be overcome through the application of hydrogen peroxide in concentrated amounts. The treatment allows the hydrogen peroxide to penetrate the surface of the enamel cleaning out and eliminating the contaminating substance restoring your teeth to the original color. It is very common for Crowns or Veneers to not be effected by teeth whitening treatments. Therefore, your dentist will need to consider this in order to provide the best overall color match as a result of your treatment.
Our Grand Rapids teeth whitening treatments can be completed in one visit and rarely last longer than one hour. Most treatments usually require a protective shield to be placed over the gums followed by the application of the hydrogen peroxide, which last anywhere from 20 to 50 minutes. Treatments are relatively pain free and require no sedation. It is possible for patients to experience unusually sensitive teeth after a treatment but usually this will subside within the first week to two weeks following the treatment.
