Brighten Your Smile Safely and Effectively
At Richmond Heights Dental Arts, we use Opalescence®, which is one of the most trusted and effective systems for whitening teeth. Our whitening treatments make your smile much brighter in a short amount of time and are safe to use. They work on teeth that have been stained by coffee, tea, tobacco, or just getting older.
We help people in Cuyahoga County, East Cleveland, and Richmond Heights. We use the newest dental tools and a kind, patient-centered approach to make your teeth look better and keep your mouth healthy.
What Is Teeth Whitening?
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure that makes your smile look brighter and younger by getting rid of stains and discoloration on your teeth. At Richmond Heights Dental Arts, we use Opalescence®, a professional-grade whitening system that gives you:
Results that are safe and work
A little bit of pain in the teeth
Choices for treatment that work with your schedule and lifestyle
A quick, clear change in the color of your teeth
Products you buy at the store don’t work as well or last as long as whitening done by a professional. It also gives you results that are even and look natural.
Benefits of Professional Teeth Whitening
There are many good things about having a professional whiten your teeth instead of doing it yourself:
Big changes: Teeth that are whiter after one or more treatments
Safe and under control: Dentists watch it to keep the enamel and gums safe.
With this, you can make your teeth whiter and healthier.
Quick and simple: You can tell a big difference after just one visit.
- Long-lasting effects: If you take care of it, whitening can last for months or even years.
- Boosts self-esteem: A brighter smile makes you feel better about yourself and how you look.
A quick and easy way to improve your smile and overall look is to whiten your teeth.
Who Can Benefit from Teeth Whitening?
People who want to whiten their teeth should:
- People who have teeth that are stained or discolored from food, drinks, or tobacco
- Want to get their smile back to how bright it used to be
- Are you looking for a cosmetic change that will make you feel better about yourself every day or on special occasions?
- You should be able to whiten your teeth and gums if they are healthy.
At Richmond Heights Dental Arts, your dentist will look at your mouth and tell you the best way to make your teeth whiter.
Teeth Whitening Procedure
Richmond Heights Dental Arts offers two main types of custom Opalescence® whitening:
In-Office Whitening
- Cleaning teeth and getting them ready for treatment
- There are barriers on the gums that keep them safe.
- Opalescence® whitening gel makes teeth whiter.
- You could use a special light or curing method to speed things up.
- The last color is checked, and the teeth are polished.
Take-Whitening trays you can take home
You get trays that are made just for your teeth.
At home, you put Opalescence® whitening gel in the trays.
Wear them for a certain amount of time every day to get the best results.
Regular check-ins make sure that everything is safe and works.
Both methods are safe and work well for whitening, so you can choose the one that works best for you.
How long does it take for teeth to get whiter?
The whitening effects last for different amounts of time depending on:
- What you eat and drink, like coffee, tea, red wine, and smoking
- How to keep your teeth healthy
- Maintenance treatments include take-home trays and regular touch-ups in the office.
If you take care of them, they can last anywhere from six months to a few years. Getting touch-ups every now and then will help you keep your smile bright and sure of yourself.
Caring for Your Whitened Teeth
To keep your results from getting whiter:
- Brush and floss your teeth every day.
- Don’t eat or drink things that can leave stains.
- Use a straw when you drink coffee or soda.
- Have your teeth checked and cleaned on a regular basis.
- When you need to touch up, do what your dentist says.
If you take care of your teeth, they will stay bright and healthy for a long time.
