Teeth Whitening

What Is Teeth Whitening?

For the very best, get-your-teeth-the-whitest-possible dentist experience, pick Comfort Dental Care and Orthodontics. Our professional, in-office whitening treatment will help you get rid of all those unappealing stains on the tooth’s surface, in addition to removing stains from deep within your tooth’s enamel.

Benefits of Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening can give you dramatic and nearly instantaneous results in very little time. Once the stains are gone, your smile will make you look younger, healthier, and more attractive. The treatment usually takes about an hour and is very high-impact. In fact, many patients choose to get their teeth whitened during their lunch break, returning to work with a sparkling white smile in under an hour.

How Is Teeth Whitening Performed?

To begin, we will clean your teeth to remove bacteria, food, and other build-up before the whitening process begins. At Comfort Dental Care and Orthodontics, there are two kinds of teeth whitening procedures: vital and non-vital. Vital teeth whitening is the most common type, involving a gel-like substance that is applied directly to the surface of your tooth. In non-vital whitening, which addresses stains that are originating from inside the tooth itself, a different procedure is used: A whitening agent is applied from inside the tooth, and a temporary cap is placed over it to protect and gradually whiten the tooth over the course of several days.

Preparing for Teeth Whitening

No special preparation is necessary for teeth whitening from Comfort Dental Care and Orthodontics so contact us now to set up your consultation for tooth whitening.

Recovery from Teeth Whitening

While there is no recovery from teeth whitening, it’s important to preserve your teeth’s sparkle following your procedure. Teeth whitening is not a permanent solution, especially if you smoke or consume food or drinks that are known to stain teeth, so ideally one should avoid these teeth-staining substances. With proper care and attention, your whitening treatment benefits can last anywhere from six months to a year.

Take-home Whitening Solution

Our take-home whitening solution is a great option if you’d rather whiten your teeth at home. We can help you with an alternative approach that will really work as opposed to ineffectual over-the-counter whitening kits or toothpastes that are not going to move the needle on your smile’s sparkle. Comfort Dental Care and Orthodontics offers take-home whitening products that genuinely work at increasing your smile’s sparkle.

How Much Does Teeth Whitening Cost?

Invisalign

Instead of metal braces, many patients prefer Invisalign® – a cosmetic dental procedure that straightens and aligns your teeth using clear and removable trays. These trays are comfortable and changed approximately every other week to gradually shift the position of your teeth over time.

Braces

When your teeth are crooked, crowded, irregularly spaced, out of alignment, or protruding, braces are typically the go-to treatment method to correct them. Available for use on patients of all ages, braces use metal brackets to gradually reposition teeth and ultimately provide a healthier, more attractive smile.

Dental Bridges

A bridge is placed to correct teeth that sit on either side of a gap. A dental bridge can restore your smile, while also maintaining your face shape. Perhaps most importantly, a well-placed bridge will prevent your other teeth from falling out of alignment.

Dental Crowns

Decay or trauma can cause loss of tooth structure and can compromise function as well as esthetics. Extensive loss of tooth structure can best be replaced with a restoration that covers your entire tooth as in a crown. This “full coverage” restoration can strengthen your tooth and in the hands of an expert can provide a long-lasting esthetic and functional result.

Dentures

Tooth loss is challenging on many levels. Not only can it affect what you eat and how you chew leading to more serious health concerns, but it can also make you feel embarrassed and uncomfortable. We want you to be your best self. Dentures may help you get there.

Dental Sealants

Sealants are a thin, protective coating that bonds to the surface of your teeth. When properly applied, sealants can help prevent cavities. Best of all, sealants do not require numbing or drilling and are generally painless. Developed to ward off decay before it affects a tooth, they are most commonly used on those teeth most prone to cavities.

Porcelain Inlays

Porcelain inlays are hard; custom manufactured inserts that are usually placed in larger cavities and areas where there is less tooth structure.

Porcelain Onlays

Porcelain onlays are often referred to as partial crowns, and they are generally placed on your existing tooth as a base and fitted onto the tooth.

Teeth Cleaning

At Comfort Dental, we believe that getting your teeth cleaned every 6 months keep your teeth and gums as healthy as possible.

Composite Fillings

When decay occurs in a tooth, it’s important to take steps right away to address the issue. A filling is used to treat a decaying tooth and halt the spread of further tooth decay. Composite fillings are made of a natural resin composite material, as opposed to metal fillings.

Extractions

While many of us do our best to keep our teeth healthy, sometimes a tooth needs to be taken out to keep you healthy. In these cases, an extraction is necessary.

Veneers

When it comes to efficient solutions for helping you achieve that beautiful smile you’ve always wanted, one of the most popular, effective, and fastest methods is porcelain veneers.

Dental Implants

When teeth are lost, dentists typically replace them with full or partial dentures. Dental implants are permanent posts that act as “roots” for the replacement teeth.

Mini Dental Implants

Mini dental implants are smaller dental implants that work in the same manner as traditional dental implants. Because they are smaller in diameter, it is necessary to have a very precise replacement so that they function correctly.
