White teeth enhance not only a person’s smile but often also enhance their self-esteem as well as their whole outlook on life. Unfortunately, decades of eating and drinking, as well as smoking and taking certain prescription drugs can turn teeth dull and discolored. Shrewsbury teeth whitening at Quinsigamonde Dental can turn back the clock and whiten your teeth by several shades.
Our dentist can use Shrewsbury teeth whitening for our patients’ teeth either in our state-of-the-art office or in the convenience of the patient’s own home. In our office we use the Zoom! system, in which our doctor begins the whitening treatment by protecting the gums and applying a professional strength whitening gel to the teeth. A low intensity light activates the gel. The gel is left on for 15 minutes and then wiped off, the procedure is then repeated two or three times depending on the degree of discoloration. The whitening treatment is completed in just one hour long office visit and the patient can experience up to 6 - 10 shades lighter teeth afterwards.
For those patients preferring Shrewsbury teeth whitening in the convenience of their own homes our dentist will fabricate custom plastic trays from impressions of their mouth. These trays hold a special bleaching agent snugly and evenly against the teeth. The user will wear the solution filled trays for about two hours a day for two weeks, depending on the degree of discoloration of the teeth. Afterwards the teeth will be several shades whiter. The custom fitting trays and professional strength bleaching gel work far more effectively than those whitening kits, strips and toothpastes sold in drugstores. Professional whitening treatments, such as those from our dentist will last well over a year depending on the types of food and drinks consumed and the ambitiousness of daily tooth maintenance. If you’d like a whiter, brighter smile make an appointment with our office.
