Your smile is a big part of the image you reflect -- it's noticed before you even speak a word. If your teeth are stained or yellowed with age, they may have a negative impact on people around you and you may not realize it. Advances in cosmetic dentistry have made it possible to offer several whitening treatment alternatives. Dr. Fakhimi will determine which type of whitening procedure will work best for your specific situation.
Cosmetic whitening enhances your smile.
Cosmetic whitening, also referred to as "bleaching", is one of the most requested treatments to remove stains and improve the overall appearance of your smile. There are several treatment options you can choose from. Chairside whitening treatments are completed in your dentist's office, or your dentist may recommend treatment that can whiten your teeth in the comfort of your home.
Chairside whitening treatments can be completed in a matter of hours or over a several week period, depending on the type of whitening solution and technique your dentist determines is best for you. Whitening appointments are commonly scheduled one week apart and continue until the desired level of whiteness is reached. A single treatment lasts between half an hour to an hour. In some cases a chemical whitening agent is applied to your teeth and allowed to remain on the teeth for 10 to 30 minutes using a special high intensity light that activates the agent.
We may recommend a special formula for at-home whitening. This type of treatment involves wearing a custom-filtered plastic tray we will design for you. Care is taken in creating the tray to ensure the whitening material stays in contact with tooth surfaces being treated. The custom tray is made of clear plastic, so you can wear it comfortably as prescribed by Dr. Fakhimi. The duration of each whitening treatment and how long you continue at-home treatments will vary according to the results you wish to achieve. Ask Dr. Fakhimi for his recommendation on how long your treatments should continue.
The result from either treatment option is a bright, white smile that helps you protect an image of youthful vitality. Whiter teeth create a more youthful appearance by brightening your entire face. People may notice something has changed about you...they're just not sure what it is!
Empower yourself with a youthful smile.
More and more Americans believe their image is important and have turned to whitening to help upgrade their appearance. Since 1997, dentists report a 300% increase in patients who request whitening treatments. Dr. Fakhimi is your best resource for oral health and dental aesthetics. Ask Dr. Fakhimi how you can achieve the best possible smile and project the best possible image.
How we look and how we perceive ourselves has much to do with our self-esteem. When the color of our teeth makes us embarrassed to smile, it’s probably time to get our teeth whitened ( bleached ). Tooth Whitening (bleaching) is a very safe and effective way of getting rid of stains on the teeth. Dr. Fakhimi uses the latest technology in teeth whitening called ZOOM,which takes about an hour and you see immediate results after the procedure.
