Teeth Whitening in Duncanville, TX

What is Teeth Whitening?

As you age, and because of certain lifestyle and dietary habits, teeth can begin to look yellowed and dull. At-home whitening may deliver sufficient results, but you may be looking for whiter and brighter teeth, which only professional whitening can provide. Our cosmetic dentist in Duncanville, TX, offers in-office whitening that helps to remove years of stains and discoloration. A white, full smile can help you look younger and healthier.

Why is Teeth Whitening needed?

Teeth whitening may be needed or wanted because your smile is dull and yellow. If you’re a smoker, chew tobacco, drink a lot of coffee or tea, or eat staining foods such as berries, your teeth probably aren’t as white as they could be. You may want to whiten your teeth because you’re tired of feeling badly about your appearance. Others may choose professional whitening because they’re getting married, going to a class reunion, or attending another important event.

“A review from my grandma about this place. She loved it. They were very nice and very welcoming. They were very helpful and never left in me the dark. They were very understanding in what I wanted and needed. They weren’t pushy they understood money issues and did the services I needed to begin with in the same day. They were fast. I’m happy this dentist got recommended to me. I recommend them to you if you need a dentist.”

What makes you a good candidate for Teeth Whitening?

You will come into our office for a consultation appointment and exam. Ideally, a patient wanting whitening should have been to see the dentist at least once in the past year. Whitening may not be effective at lightening existing restorations within the mouth. It probably will not have an impact on veneers, fillings, crowns, or bridge work that you have placed in your mouth.

The Science Behind Teeth Whitening

Our teeth are made up of an outer layer called enamel and an inner layer called dentin. Over time, our enamel can get stained or discolored due to various foods, beverages, medications, or even aging. The whitening agents, typically hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, break down these stains, releasing oxygen molecules that work to lift the discoloration. This action doesn’t harm the structure of the tooth; instead, it just targets and removes the stains, leading to brighter teeth.

Benefits of Teeth Whitening

The advantages of teeth whitening extend beyond aesthetics:

  • a radiant smile boosts self-confidence, allowing you to laugh and converse without inhibition
  • brighter teeth are often associated with youth and health
  • patients who invest in teeth whitening tend to be more committed to maintaining their oral health, leading to healthier gums and teeth in the long run
  • in contrast to other cosmetic dental procedures, teeth whitening is relatively cost-effective while delivering transformative results

Zoom! Teeth Whitening

A patient getting Zoom! Teeth Whitening in Duncanville, TXZoom! stands out among professional teeth whitening treatments for several compelling reasons. Developed by Philips, Zoom! offers faster results, often in just one session, thanks to its proprietary LED light-accelerated technology. This light enhances the effect of the whitening gel, allowing it to penetrate deeper and act faster. When compared to other professional treatments, Zoom! is recognized for its longevity, evenness of color, and reduced sensitivity post-treatment. Dr. Singla is thrilled to bring this revolutionary cosmetic dentistry treatment to Duncanville and our neighboring communities.

What To Expect

The process begins with a consultation with Dr. Singla to ensure you’re a good candidate. Once cleared, the lips and gums are carefully covered, leaving only the teeth exposed. The Zoom! whitening gel, specially formulated to work with the Zoom! light, is then applied. This light activates the gel, breaking down and lifting stains. The gel and light work together for about 15 minutes while you relax. This process might be repeated 2-3 times, depending on the desired shade. After the final application, a sensitivity-reducing fluoride paste-gel is applied to conclude the treatment. Ta-da! A brighter, whiter smile in just one visit to Singla Dental!

Post-Whitening Care Tips To Ensure Your Results Last

Protecting your newly brightened smile requires some diligence. It’s recommended to avoid stain-causing foods and drinks like coffee, tea, red wine, and berries for at least 48 hours post-treatment.

Regular oral hygiene – brushing, flossing, and rinsing – remains paramount.

To maintain the brightness, touch-up treatments with custom-fitted trays or repeat sessions can be considered based on your lifestyle and preference. Dr. Singla will discuss the best method for you!

Possible Side Effects

While Zoom! is known for reduced sensitivity, some patients might still experience minor tooth sensitivity or gum irritation post-treatment. These are generally temporary and fade within a few days. Using toothpaste designed for sensitive teeth can help alleviate any discomfort. It’s essential to follow our cosmetic dentist in Duncaville’s post-treatment guidelines to minimize these effects.
