The procedure is also non-invasive and, other than some temporary sensitivity, there are no known side effects. The whitening is done with hydrogen peroxide and/or a carbamide-peroxide gel, which does not damage the teeth. I often hear that questions from patients and assure them that it is not harmful. And oftentimes we suggest whitening for patients who’ve recently had braces removed to eliminate staining that can occur during the orthodontic treatment. We can help guide you toward the best whitening technique for you based on the condition of your teeth and gums, oral hygiene, lifestyles and goals for improving the look of your smile.Īs well, we recommend whitening to patients who are planning to undergo cosmetic dental procedures-including veneers, crowns or cosmetic bonding-to better match the restoration to your natural teeth coloring. So if I can do one small thing to increase patients’ confidence and desire to smile while also helping them look younger-whether it be for job interviews, important life events like a wedding or just life in general-then I’m all for it.
