Tooth Whitening, Dental bleaching - Cosmetic Dentistry in Bayonne & Jersey City, NJ
Tooth whitening, otherwise known as dental bleaching, is a very popular procedure at Dentistry with Grace. Teeth whitening brightens and whitens patients' teeth making them more attractive, which lies at the heart of cosmetic dentistry. This procedure is right for you if your teeth have been discolored from smoking, drinking coffee and tea or simply if you'd like to brighten up you smile.
There are many products on the market which can help to whiten your teeth at home - like whitening toothpaste, whitening gum or even special tray sets. The one major drawback of all of these methods is that to achieve a truly bright smile you need to apply them methodically every day. On the other hand the procedure of teeth whitening takes only about and hour and the results are immediate.
The process is very simple. First a protective layer of gel is applied to the patient's gums. Then the tooth whitening gel is applied to the patient's teeth. The whitening gel is light activated and a special light or laser is used to enhance the bio-chemical reaction. After this we take an impression of the patient's teeth to create custom trays for home touh-ups and maintenance.
