For many of us, unsightly stains dull the appearance of our smiles. At The Silverstrom Dental Group, we provide the latest in cosmetic teeth whitening. Your Livingston NJ dentists, Dr. David Silverstrom and Dr. Gary Silverstrom, can brighten smiles and explain the little-discussed downsides of over-the-counter teeth whiteners.
Downside of Over-the-Counter Teeth Whitening
In United States, people spend over 1.4 billion dollars each year on store bought teeth whiteners. While these systems may appear more affordable, the results rarely last as long as professional teeth whiteners. People that use store bought systems also report gum irritation and tooth sensitivity. For dramatic results, consider obtaining professional-grade whitening from The Silverstrom Dental Group.
Professional Teeth Whitening
Dr. David Silverstrom and Dr. Gary Silverstrom offer two forms of teeth whitening: In-office and at-home. Our in-office technique, Zoom! Whitening, brightens smiles in under an hour. After applying a powerful bleaching gel to your teeth, the ingredients will be activated with a special light. In less than one hour, you can receive a smile brightened my several shades.
Our home-based formula is the Kor Whitening Deep Bleaching System. Patients will come into the office and receive a set of custom-made whitening trays. Dr. David or Gary Silverstrom will then prescribe a special whitening gel. Patients will the gel-filled tray each day for the amount of time recommended by Dr. David or Gary Silverstrom. In some cases, teeth can be whitened up by to 16 shades over the course of two weeks.
Alternatives to Teeth Whitening
Some patients may suffer from intrinsic, or permanent, teeth stains. This discoloration forms beneath the surface of the teeth, caused by the use of certain medications, such as tetracycline, or dental trauma. To address permanent dental discoloration, Dr. David Silverstrom and Dr. Gary Silverstrom offer an array of cosmetic solutions, including:
- Porcelain veneers
- Dental crowns
