Oakville Teeth Whitening : Sapphire

Did you know that teeth whitening is the most asked for cosmetic procedure even when including cosmetic procedures for the whole body? You know that wonderful feeling you get when your teeth have just been cleaned and polished; you feel how smooth your teeth feel when you run your tongue over them?  Well, that feeling you get inside is the feeling you will get from the outside when you see your whiter brighter smile. Teeth whitening is a great confidence booster and it is safe. No cosmetic procedure can give you so much bang for your buck.

Of course, not everyone achieves the same results. Variables such as the amount and type of staining and the amount and quality of the existing teeth enamel are important factors.

Other Information on Teeth Whitening

Side Effects of Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is very safe, especially when supervised by your dentist. The whitening process does not harm existing enamel, tooth structure, bonding or restorations. However, whitening agents will not lighten bonding or tooth-colored fillings, only the teeth around them.

For some people, teeth may become sensitive during the 10 to 14 days of treatment with whitening gel. Your dentist may choose to alter the treatment to alleviate sensitivity. However, the sensitivity is usually temporary and will lessen after treatment is over. Some people may have slight gum irritation from small amounts of the whitening gel coming in contact with tissue.
Length of Effectiveness
Depending on personal habit, whiter, brighter teeth should last one-five years. Smoking and drinking coffee, tea and dark colas can darken teeth sooner and may require a whitening touch-up. Twice-daily brushing, daily flossing and regular dental checkups will help keep whitened teeth bright..
