Welcome To The Best Teeth Whitening Dentist Dalton GA
At Patterson and Hughes Family Dentistry, teeth whitening is an affordable and safe way to brighten your smile. We provide teeth whitening services at our local Dalton family and cosmetic dental practice.
As we mature, our teeth become stained from drinking dark beverages like tea and coffee, or from tobacco use. This staining causes tooth enamel to look yellowish, brown or discolored. Some medications can also cause teeth to look grey or discolored.
How does Teeth Whitening work?
Professional teeth whitening products available from our Dalton dental office have active ingredients that help lift away stains and lighten tooth enamel.
In-Office Power Whitening
Dr. Patterson and Dr. Hughes offer the option of whitening your smile in one visit:
- We will seat you comfortably in the dental chair and check your beginning tooth shade.
- While you listen to your music play list, our dental team will apply professional whitening gel to your teeth and activate the ingredients using a special light.
- The whitening process takes about an hour. At the end of your appointment, we will check your ‘after’ smile shade, which is usually several shades lighter.
Take-Home Teeth Whitening
We also offer take-home smile whitening in our practice:
- Our dentists and dental assistants make custom clear trays (upper arch and lower arch) that are designed to fit your teeth and hold the whitening gel.
- Wearing these trays for about an hour a day will noticeably lighten your teeth in just a few weeks.
Why do we recommend Professional Teeth Whitening products?
While we know that several over-the-counter teeth whitening products are available, we always want to recommend systems that are approved by our dentists. Professional strength dental whitening products that we recommend have been tested by dentists and contain ingredients that are considered effective and safe for use by our patients.
As your partner in dental health, we also understand your past treatment history, so it may be necessary to modify or postpone your whitening procedure to best serve your current dental needs.
Touch Up Teeth Whitening
We have teeth whitening refills available for purchase by our regular patients; these are great for occasional touch-ups. Be sure to ask your dental hygienist about a teeth whitening kit at your next cleaning appointment.
What is the best teeth whitening toothpaste?
Most teeth whitening toothpaste products are safe to use, however, they can be abrasive, so be sure to check with us to help you decide which product is best for your needs. Whitening toothpaste is not recommended for children.
