Whitening at Dr. Elston Wong Dentistry
Brighten your smile
Do you hate the darkness or yellowness of your teeth? Whitening, or more accurately, bleaching, is a safe, effective, and simple method to lighten the shade of your teeth. By using either carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide to oxidize staining compounds, you can achieve whitening of your teeth without damaging the tooth structure!
Whitening can be achieved in as little as one session, or over about ten days. The faster the bleaching, the more sensitive the teeth can get, so we recommend the slower process for those with sensitive teeth. The end results are about the same!
In dark teeth which have already had root canal treatment, it is also possible to perform internal bleaching, a process where bleaching material is inserted inside the tooth and allowed to percolate through the crown, whitening it from the inside. This treatment is safe, can be applied to a single tooth, and takes about 2-3 weeks!
Fast facts
Bleaching is safe for teeth!
Bleaching can even be done in children as long as baby teeth are gone!
Bleaching will bleach teeth, but will not whiten fillings or porcelain
Bleaching should be done prior to veneers & cosmetic work so teeth will match
The process
Step One
What are you looking for? We discuss with you what your expectations are and how best to achieve them. Whitening is one of many things that dentistry has at its disposal to improve appearances.
Step Two
If whitening is right for you, we then decide on the method and take the next steps. This could be the fabrication of custom bleaching trays, or the delivery of the whitening product!
Step Three
Whitening starts! We take pre-bleaching shades and give you instructions. After the specified bleaching period, we can take post-bleaching shades to see how much improvement you made!
