Teeth whitening in Jataí
For those who want lighter teeth without changing the shape of the smile. During the evaluation we look at which approach suits your mouth.
At the initial evaluation, Dr. Brenda evaluates your mouth, you receive a written treatment quote and you decide calmly.
What it is
Teeth whitening is a treatment that lightens the teeth using whitening gels, under the supervision of a dentist. It can be done at the practice, at home with a tray, or by combining both.
It lightens natural tooth structure. That is why it is important to examine the mouth first: cavities and gum health need to be under control.
Who it is for
- People who have noticed their teeth yellowing over time.
- People who drink a lot of coffee, tea or wine, or who smoke, and see their teeth staining.
- People who want a lighter smile without changing the shape of their teeth.
How it is done
- Evaluation of tooth color, sensitivity and what is already in the mouth, such as old fillings.
- Cleaning and treatment of anything needed before whitening.
- Protection of the gums and application of the whitening gel, at the practice and/or at home, depending on the case.
- Follow-up until you reach the best result possible for you.
What to expect
Some people feel sensitivity during or after whitening. Dr. Brenda advises how to reduce it.
Results vary from person to person and depend on the starting color of the teeth.
Aftercare
- In the first few days, follow the guidance on strongly pigmented foods and drinks, such as coffee, wine and dark sauces.
- Keep up good oral hygiene.
- Return for a check-up when Dr. Brenda recommends.
Questions
Does whitening damage the teeth?
When it is indicated and supervised, it is a conservative treatment. That is why the evaluation comes first.
Does it whiten fillings and veneers?
No. Fillings and veneers do not change color with whitening. During the evaluation Dr. Brenda looks at what is in your mouth and explains what can be done.
Does whitening hurt?
Some people feel temporary sensitivity. If your teeth are already sensitive, tell her during the evaluation so she can adapt the treatment.
