Frequently Asked Questions
Teeth Whitening FAQs
What causes teeth to become discolored or stained?
Teeth can become discolored or stained due to various factors, including:
- Aging: As we age, the outer layer of our teeth (enamel) naturally thins, revealing the yellowish dentin underneath.
- Diet: Consuming foods and beverages that are high in tannins, such as coffee, tea, red wine, and dark berries, can stain your teeth over time.
- Smoking: Tobacco use, whether smoking or chewing, can cause significant tooth discoloration.
- Poor oral hygiene: Inadequate brushing and flossing can allow plaque and tartar to build up, leading to tooth discoloration.
- Medications: Certain medications, such as tetracycline antibiotics, can cause intrinsic staining of the teeth, especially when taken during childhood. At Briggs Family Dental, we offer professional teeth whitening treatments that can effectively address most types of tooth discoloration, helping you regain a bright, confident smile.
What is professional teeth whitening?
Professional teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental treatment that involves the use of powerful whitening agents to remove stains and discoloration from your teeth. At Briggs Family Dental, we offer both in-office and take-home whitening options, allowing you to choose the method that best fits your needs and lifestyle. Our professional whitening treatments are supervised by Dr. Briggs and use higher concentrations of whitening agents compared to over-the-counter products, resulting in faster, more dramatic results. We also take precautions to protect your gums and ensure your safety and comfort throughout the whitening process.
What are the benefits of professional teeth whitening?
Professional teeth whitening at Briggs Family Dental offers numerous benefits, including:
- Dramatic results: Our professional whitening treatments can lighten your teeth by several shades, providing a noticeable improvement in the appearance of your smile.
- Safe and effective: Our whitening treatments are supervised by Dr. Briggs and use high-quality, proven products to ensure your safety and optimal results.
- Customizable: We offer both in-office and take-home whitening options, allowing you to choose the method that best fits your needs, preferences, and budget.
- Boost your confidence: A brighter, more radiant smile can significantly improve your self-esteem and help you feel more confident in both personal and professional settings.
- Long-lasting results: With proper care and maintenance, the results of your professional teeth whitening treatment can last for several months to a year or more. At Briggs Family Dental, we believe that professional teeth whitening is a valuable investment in your smile and overall well-being.
What is the difference between in-office and take-home teeth whitening?
At Briggs Family Dental, we offer both in-office and take-home teeth whitening options to meet your individual needs and preferences:
- In-office whitening: This treatment is performed in our dental office and involves the application of a high-concentration whitening gel to your teeth. The gel is activated using a special light or laser, accelerating the whitening process. In-office whitening typically takes about an hour and can lighten your teeth by several shades in a single visit.
- Take-home whitening: This option involves custom-made whitening trays and a lower-concentration whitening gel that you apply at home. Dr. Briggs will take impressions of your teeth to create personalized trays that fit snugly and ensure even gel distribution. You’ll wear the trays with the whitening gel for a specified amount of time each day, gradually achieving a brighter smile over the course of several weeks. Both options are effective and safe, and Dr. Briggs will help you determine which method is best for your unique needs and goals.
How long does professional teeth whitening take?
The duration of your professional teeth whitening treatment depends on the specific method you choose:
- In-office whitening: This treatment typically takes about an hour and can lighten your teeth by several shades in a single visit.
- Take-home whitening: With this option, you’ll wear your custom whitening trays for a specified amount of time each day (usually 30 minutes to an hour) over the course of several weeks. The total treatment time can vary depending on the severity of your tooth discoloration and your desired level of whitening. Dr. Briggs will provide you with a personalized treatment plan and timeline based on your individual needs and goals.
Is professional teeth whitening safe?
Yes, professional teeth whitening is generally safe when performed under the supervision of a qualified dentist like Dr. Briggs. At Briggs Family Dental, we use high-quality, proven whitening products and take precautions to protect your gums and oral tissues during the treatment. We also conduct a thorough examination of your teeth and gums before recommending whitening to ensure that it’s a safe and appropriate option for you. Some patients may experience temporary tooth sensitivity or gum irritation after whitening, but these side effects typically subside quickly. If you have any concerns about the safety of teeth whitening, our team will be happy to address them and provide you with the information you need to make an informed decision.
How long do the results of professional teeth whitening last?
The longevity of your professional teeth whitening results depends on various factors, including your oral hygiene habits, diet, and lifestyle. On average, the results can last for several months to a year or more with proper care and maintenance. To help extend the longevity of your whitening results, we recommend:
- Maintaining good oral hygiene: Brush your teeth twice daily, floss regularly, and use an antiseptic mouthwash to prevent stains from accumulating.
- Avoiding stain-causing foods and beverages: Limit your consumption of coffee, tea, red wine, and dark-colored fruits and vegetables, or rinse your mouth with water after consuming them.
- Quitting smoking: Tobacco use can quickly lead to tooth discoloration, undermining your whitening results.
- Scheduling touch-up treatments: Dr. Briggs can provide you with touch-up whitening kits or schedule in-office touch-up treatments to help maintain your bright smile. Our team at Briggs Family Dental will work with you to develop a personalized maintenance plan to help you enjoy your whitening results for as long as possible.
Will teeth whitening work on dental restorations like crowns or veneers?
No, professional teeth whitening treatments only work on natural tooth enamel and will not affect the color of dental restorations such as crowns, veneers, bonding, or fillings. If you have restorations and are considering teeth whitening, Dr. Briggs may recommend whitening your natural teeth first and then replacing any visible restorations to match your new, brighter smile. In some cases, whitening may not be the best option if you have multiple restorations, and Dr. Briggs may suggest alternative cosmetic treatments, such as dental bonding or veneers, to achieve a more uniform and aesthetically pleasing result.
Is professional teeth whitening covered by dental insurance?
Most dental insurance plans do not cover professional teeth whitening, as it is considered a cosmetic procedure. However, at Briggs Family Dental, we believe that everyone deserves access to a brighter, more confident smile. That’s why we offer flexible financing options and will work with you to find a payment plan that fits your budget. We also offer periodic promotions and discounts on our whitening treatments, making it more affordable to achieve the radiant smile you deserve. Our team will be happy to discuss your options and help you find the most cost-effective solution for your needs.
How do I maintain my whitening results at home?
To maintain your bright, whitened smile after your professional treatment at Briggs Family Dental, we recommend the following tips:
- Brush your teeth twice daily with a fluoride toothpaste and a soft-bristled toothbrush
- Floss daily to remove plaque and stains between your teeth
- Use an antiseptic mouthwash to kill bacteria and freshen your breath
- Avoid or limit stain-causing foods and beverages, such as coffee, tea, red wine, and dark berries
- Rinse your mouth with water after consuming stain-causing substances
- Quit smoking or using tobacco products
- Schedule regular dental check-ups and cleanings at Briggs Family Dental to remove any new stains and monitor your oral health
- Use touch-up whitening kits or schedule in-office touch-up treatments as recommended by Dr. Briggs By following these guidelines and maintaining good oral hygiene habits, you can help your whitening results last longer and enjoy a brighter, more confident smile for months to come.
