What Is Teeth Whitening?
Teeth whitening, or bleaching, is a way to change the natural colour of your teeth. Teeth whitening can help brighten teeth that are stained, darkened, dull, or discoloured due to things like coffee, tea, wine, cola, berries, smoking or general aging. Even medications, traumatic injuries, or fluorosis can affect the overall colour of your teeth.
In-Office Teeth Whitening in Cochrane, AB
Professional in-office teeth whitening is performed by our experienced dentist at the clinic. We perform the treatment while you relax. Our dentist in Cochrane will first cover up your lips and gums, leaving only your teeth exposed. Next, a hydrogen peroxide gel will be applied to the teeth, and then exposed to an LED light that works to activate the gel. The light works to break apart the carbon bonds that create the staining and discolouration, beginning the bleaching process. During whitening, the structure of your teeth is not altered. Once the process is complete, your teeth may appear brighter. The process usually takes approximately 60 minutes, and the procedure is repeated 3-4 times as needed.
Take-Home Teeth Whitening
Professional take-home teeth whitening kits are a way to whiten teeth in the privacy, comfort, and convenience of your own home. The kit comes with an LED light, plastic tray and whitening gel made up of hydrogen peroxide. The trays are filled with the hydrogen peroxide gel and applied over your teeth, and you wear them daily for approximately 20 minutes once a day. The LED light and tray works hands free, so you can multitask while whitening. Most patients see results after one or two weeks, but individual results may vary.
