Is Teeth Whitening Right for Me?
A great cosmetic treatment, teeth whitening is for almost anyone who is interested in revealing a brighter smile quickly. Before you have professional teeth whitening, we will make sure your teeth are healthy enough. Then, your team will discuss your concerns, goals, and treatment options. Professional teeth whitening can produce fast, dramatic results by minimizing stains embedded deep within your natural teeth. Considered an advantage compared to over-the-counter whitening treatments, your teeth whitening at our office will be customized to fit your needs and goals.
How Does In-Office Whitening Work?
This treatment is performed right at our Indianapolis, IN office, in one of our luxurious treatment rooms. In-office whitening at MINT dentistry doesn't need anesthesia, but should you experience dental anxiety or have a powerful gag reflex, sedation dentistry alternatives could be available. Your teeth will have to be cleaned and dried prior to the procedure so the whitening treatment can be applied evenly. Then, a protective covering will be placed over your soft tissues and your eyes will be protected using special eyewear. A member of our MINT team will apply a professional-grade whitening gel on your teeth and expose your teeth to our whitening light. The combination of the light and gel helps to minimize the discoloration in the teeth. Depending upon your present enamel color and desirable outcome, this process may be done 2 – 3 more times. Once your procedure is done, the remaining gel and protective gum barrier will be removed before your mouth is rinsed.
Maintain Your Teeth Whitening Results
Unless sedation was used, you should be able to leave after your procedure to return to your usual day. However, you should avoid products that will stain your teeth (coffee, lipstick, tobacco products) for at least 48 hours following your treatment. You may encounter sensitivity to hot and cold — this should only last for 3 – 5 days. To maintain the results, you need to brush your teeth whenever possible after having staining food or beverages or tobacco products. When at home, you should adhere to a daily oral hygiene routine, including brushing and flossing to prevent stains. Dental cleanings twice per year at our dental office can help minimize new stains to help keep your smile sexy. Should you want to refresh your results after a few years, you may schedule another professional whitening procedure or ask a MINT dentistry staff member about home teeth whitening solutions.
The MINT Commitment
Considered an elective treatment, in-office teeth whitening is not usually covered under dental insurance policies. During your consultation at our Indianapolis, IN facility, we will estimate your costs and tell you about your payment options. MINT dentistry is committed to making sure you have the brilliant smile you desire. Ask your dentist about our cosmetic dentistry specials, medical financing, or our MINT Discount Plan, which can make your aesthetic treatments more affordable.
