Tooth Whitening / Teeth Whitening
Where Your Smile Begins
Calgary, Alberta
Daily activities can cause wear and tear on our enamel, resulting in discoloration on dulling of our natural tooth shade. The foods and beverages we consume, as well as lifestyle factors, can have negative effects on smile appearance. Whitening is a simple smile improvement option that can have dramatic enhancement benefits.
Smile More with a Whiter Smile
If your smile is not as bright as you’d like it to be, Calgary’s Southcentre Dental Clinic offers advanced Zoom tooth whitening to help you reach your perfect shade. Tooth whitening is accomplished though a safe and effective process that takes as little as one visit. You can achieve an improvement of several shades in a comfortable environment at our state-of-the-art Alberta cosmetic dentistry practice. Or, choose to whiten in your home with our Day White take home kit, customized to fit your needs.
Tooth whitening may be a good option for people who:- Have teeth that have been affected by fluorosis (too much fluoride during tooth development)
- Have discoloration due to wear and tear
- Show staining due to certain medications
- Have yellowish teeth
- Have stains due to food and beverages
- Have discoloration from smoking
The Tooth Whitening Procedure
At Southcentre Dental Clinic, we use a laser tooth whitening process that is painless and safe to use. Yellowing and discoloration can disappear with the high-tech bleaching process that removes evidence of staining and creates a smile you’ll be proud to show off. Even if your smile only needs to go a few shades lighter, the effects of Zoom whitening will be noticeable. During the cosmetic tooth whitening process, Dr. Cload will isolate your teeth using a rubber dam. The Zoom bleaching gel is applied to teeth, and then the laser treatment activates the professional whitening ingredients in the gel.
Remember, also, that avoiding staining foods, beverages and nicotine can help keep your smile in great shape.
If you choose the take-home method, we will design custom clear plastic trays to fit your mouth comfortably. You’ll be given instructions on duration and timing of use, and you’ll check in with Dr. Cload to see that the whitening process is producing the desired results. Each patient will have a personalized treatment plan depending on the level of whitening needed.
Whitening treatments are not effective on most teeth that have cosmetic restoration, so you may need to consider replacing certain areas of dental work to create a uniform smile appearance. Dr. Cload can then set you up for periodic “touch-up” appointments to keep your smile looking its best for the long-term.
