It’s awards season in Hollywood and what’s the one thing that unites all the beautiful celebs on the red carpet? Their ultra-bright smiles that gleam when they pose for the press and accept their trophies. Although you may be on the other side of the silver screen, you deserve the same radiant teeth that the stars show off. And, with whitening services from Oakton Dentistry by Design, your premier dentist in Oakton, you can have the radiant pearly whites you long for.
What Types Of Teeth Whitening Treatments Are Available?
At our practice, you have plenty of options when it comes to achieving the white teeth you seek. Dr. Khalil and Dr. Giordano offer the following details about each treatment method.
- In-Office Teeth Whitening – Using professional technology, our in-office teeth whitening in Oakton is both effective and fast. We keep your gums safe by applying a protective barrier and then apply whitening gel to your teeth. We let the whitening agent do its job and check on you every 15 minutes to see the progress and add more agent if necessary. You’ll see remarkable results in no time.
- At-Home Teeth Whitening – Although you may think all at-home whitening techniques are the same, this is just not the case. Over-the-counter (OTC) products can lack results because of potency issues with their active ingredients (products that are either too weak or too strong are both problematic). And, because whitening trays you buy from a store aren’t custom fitted to your mouth, saliva can easily mix with the whitening gel causing it to become completely ineffective. With our professional grade and customized products, you’ll see noticeably lighter teeth in just a couple of weeks, if not sooner.
- Porcelain Veneers – If you’re dealing with complex staining from medications, or, if you have additional cosmetic issues like chips and cracks that you’d like to address, veneers are right for you. Your existing teeth will be prepared to have the biocompatible upgrade applied, and then the thin, yet durable shells of porcelain will be permanently bonded to the front side of the natural teeth. The shade of porcelain you decide on, as well as the bonding agent, will lighten your smile and provide authentic-looking, long-lasting results. And, a whiter smile is just one the benefits of choosing porcelain veneers.
Is Teeth Whitening Safe?
With decades of experience, Drs. Khalil and Giordano can confidently assure you that all of the teeth whitening methods used in their practice are safe, thoroughly researched, and effective. Since the health of our patients is the most important part of any dental procedure – including cosmetic treatments – our professional staff will keep you safe along your lightening journey.
By using OTC products, you could end up spending a lot of money, only to be disappointed with the results, and possibly take your health into your own hands in the process. Working with a trusted professional is the best way to avoid injury and get the whiter teeth you want.
Does Teeth Whitening Work?
Many of our patients are interested in smile upgrades with our cosmetic services, but think that the results they’re looking for can’t be achieved. If celebrities – who rely on their smiles to stay in the spotlight – trust whitening for noticeable results, you can rest assured that you can lighten your teeth, too.
