Teeth Whitening in Cleveland, TN

Have you ever dreamed of a brighter, more radiant smile? If you’re like most Americans, you have. According to the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, when people were asked what they wanted to improve about their smile, the most common response was whiter teeth. Teeth whitening is a popular and effective way to enhance your smile’s appearance. At The Center for Cosmetic Dentistry in Cleveland, TN, we specialize in transforming smiles with professional teeth whitening services.

Teeth Whitening Explained

A beautiful white smile is more than just a trend. It is a reflection of self-care and confidence. Sometimes, however, we need help achieving the beautiful smile we envision. The teeth whitening process removes blemishes, discolorations, and stains from your teeth. A professional whitening procedure uses bleaching agents to help eliminate intrinsic and extrinsic (internal and external) stains.

You need to have good oral health to undergo this treatment, as certain issues like tooth decay or trauma can cause discoloration. However, we can address these concerns with restorative treatments like tooth-colored fillings and gum disease treatment.

Finally, you should know that restorations, such as dental crowns, bridges, and dentures, cannot be brightened with whitening treatments.

Professional Teeth Whitening vs. Store-Bought Kits

While store-bought kits are readily available, professional teeth whitening offers benefits that over-the-counter products cannot match:

• Professional monitoring: In-office treatments are supervised by dental professionals, ensuring safety and effectiveness. Our experienced dentists can modify treatments, monitor for potential issues, and provide guidance on maintaining optimal oral health.
• Customized treatment: Every smile is unique. Professional whitening services are tailored to individual needs and tooth sensitivities. In contrast, a store-bought kit can’t address every nook and cranny in your smile. Many kits leave patients dissatisfied because of their inconsistent whitening.
• Long-lasting results: Professional treatments use advanced technology and stronger whitening agents, generating more effective and longer-lasting results than DIY kits.

When it comes down to it, store-bought kits are a gamble. You’re betting that they’ll fit correctly, that you won’t encounter any issues not explained in the instructions, and that they’ll provide effective results. With an in-office treatment at The Center for Cosmetic Dentistry, you know you’re getting a proven and professional treatment that works.

Professional Teeth Whitening at Home

At The Center for Cosmetic Dentistry in Cleveland, TN, we offer convenient at-home treatment featuring whitening trays. This option requires two visits to our office. During your first visit, we’ll create a custom mold of your teeth. This is used to make the personalized trays you’ll wear at home. Once the trays are created, we’ll schedule a follow-up appointment for a fitting. This ensures that we can fine-tune the trays for a flawless fit. This level of personalization gives you a more uniform and satisfying result than trying to make a generic store-bought kit fit your unique dental structure.

We’ll send you home with your trays and a special whitening solution. Depending on the level of staining and desired level of whiteness, you may wear your trays for 30 minutes twice a day or overnight. You may experience some sensitivity after these sessions, which is normal. However, sensitivity should be less than that of over-the-counter products since the trays fit you precisely.

The Importance of Professional Guidance

With an estimated 35 million Americans using teeth whitening products in 2023, the importance of professional guidance cannot be overstated. Overusing or misusing whitening products can lead to uneven bleaching, tooth sensitivity, or more serious damage like chemical burns. Our team is committed to ensuring the well-being of your teeth by delivering safe and effective treatments.
