What is teeth whitening?

Teeth whitening is a non-invasive solution for stained teeth. It’s a simple, fast treatment that can make your teeth numerous shades whiter after a single trip to Ideal Dental of Tucson. Your provider uses professional-strength whitening gel and an LED light to break up and eliminate stains without pain or downtime.

What causes teeth staining?

Foods, drinks, and lifestyle habits can contribute to stained teeth over time. Examples include:

• Dark juices
• Red wine
• Coffee and tea
• Popsicles
• Tomato sauce
• Soy sauce
• Berries
• Some medications
• Poor oral hygiene habits
• Older age
• Smoking
  
  

While you can’t always avoid stains, teeth whitening at Ideal Dental of Tucson gives you the beautiful white smile of your dreams in as little as one in-office treatment.

Is teeth whitening right for me?

To find out if you’re a good candidate for teeth whitening at Ideal Dental of Tucson, the highly trained team reviews your oral health history and examines your teeth and gums. They might  take dental X-rays to detect or rule out oral health problems and discuss your whitening options.

What should I expect during teeth whitening?

When you arrive at Ideal Dental of Tucson for in-office teeth whitening, you relax in a comfortable dental chair. Dr. Williams applies a special gel to whitening trays and places them on your teeth for up to 45 minutes. 

An LED light can speed up the whitening process, making your teeth many shades whiter without tooth sensitivity. After each treatment, you can resume a normal routine right away.

If you opt for professional-strength at-home whitening, the team at Ideal Dental of Tucson gives you whitening gel and trays for at-home use. Home whitening might take several applications to achieve the same result as in-office whitening.

How can I keep my teeth white?

Periodic whitening treatments at Ideal Dental of Tucson can keep your teeth white indefinitely. Things you can do at home to reduce staining include:

• Brush your teeth at least twice daily
• Use fluoride toothpaste
• Floss daily
• Don’t smoke
• Limit foods and drinks that stain
• Brush your teeth right after eating
