Teeth Whitening
Keizer, OR
 Teeth whitening treatment is the process of lightening your teeth by bleaching them. It will not make your teeth completely white, but it can brighten them many shades. Teeth whitening should only be done on the recommendation of a dentist or another licensed dental practitioner. Our dentist here at Keizer Family Dental can help you achieve your brightest smile if you want to get teeth whitening treatment.
How Does Teeth Whitening Work?
In our clinic, our dentist will use professional bleaching as a way to whiten your teeth. First, our dental team will need to assess the condition of your oral health before we proceed to the actual treatment to ensure that there will be no adverse effects. The next step is to protect your gums. Your gums will be protected by a gel barrier from the UV light and the whitening solution. For the actual treatment, a mouth guard will be provided to apply the whitening solution to your teeth. This is a custom-made mold to fit your teeth perfectly.
In most cases, the entire treatment may be completed in three to four weeks. You will need two or three appointments with our dentist to begin. Our in-house dentist will need to create a mouth guard, and impressions will be taken during your initial session. You will need to continue the treatment at home once our dental staff has begun it. This entails using the whitening treatment regularly for two to four weeks.
Why Do You Need Teeth Whitening?
The most popular response to the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry's question regarding what individuals would like to change about their smile was whiter teeth. Nearly 90% of patients desired teeth whitening, according to the American Association of Orthodontists..
Over time, foods, coffee, tea, and soda discolor your teeth. With teeth whitening treatment you can get your bright and shiny teeth back. Teeth whitening will aid in the removal of stains caused by common foods and beverages, and you will see the change right away.
How To Maintain Teeth Whitening
Many individuals think that because their teeth are white and brilliant, they do not need to clean or floss as frequently, especially after teeth whitening. Failure to brush and floss as directed puts your oral health at risk, and it also quickly wears down the whitening results of your recent whitening procedure. Make sure your teeth stay white and dazzling for as long as possible by following these tips recommended by our dentist.
Brushing your teeth at least three times a day is recommended. Brushing often will aid in the removal of surface stains and plaque that accumulates during the day. When plaque is allowed to build up in the mouth, it can cause dark deposits to form on the teeth, negatively impacting your white smile.
Certain meals and beverages have the potential to discolor your teeth. Even if you clean your teeth right away after eating certain foods, they can stain your teeth. If you want to maintain your bright, white teeth following a professional teeth whitening procedure, you should avoid stain-causing foods and drinks.
