Boost your confidence with the help of professional whitening treatment.
Our Okemos, MI, family dentist Dr. Gregory Brya knows just how important it is to have a vibrant smile that you feel confident showing the world. Of course, if you are dealing with dental stains that make your smile look anything but radiant then you may be wondering whether it’s time to turn to our dentists for teeth whitening. Here’s what our professional teeth whitening system can do for our Okemos, MI, patients,
Professional vs Drugstore Whiteners
Chances are fairly good that you’ve tried a whitener or two from your local drugstore before turning to our Okemos, MI, cosmetic dentist for professional teeth whitening. If you have minor yellowing in your teeth then drugstore whiteners may work overtime with continued use; however, the strength of the peroxide within these drugstore whitening gels isn’t that strong (typically between 3-10 percent).
What makes professional whitening different is that the whiteners that we apply to your teeth have a very high concentration of peroxide (up to 40 percent), which means that we don’t have to leave the gel on your teeth for very long to see results. Plus, our dentist Dr. Brya has received specialized training to be able to administer professional whitening safely and effectively while also taking other concerns such as sensitivity into account. This is something that you won’t be able to get when you whiten teeth yourself.
At-Home vs. Chairside
While most people realize that they can turn to their dentist for in-office whitening, some people don’t realize that they can also come to us for at-home whitening too. We can provide custom whitening trays that are molded to your mouth to ensure that the bleaching gel makes contact with all parts of your teeth for even results. Professional at-home whitening from a qualified dentist can offer results in as little as one week.
While at-home whitening treatment won’t be as fast as coming into our office, if you aren’t in a rush for results and would like to whiten from the convenience of home, then ask us about our at-home whitening system. If you have an important event coming up, like your wedding and want results fast then we recommend coming in for chairside whitening treatment.
We know that nothing makes a person more confident than a dazzlingly white smile. If you are ready to sit down with our Okemos, MI, family dentist, Dr. Brya, to find out if you’re an ideal candidate for teeth whitening, call us today at (517) 381-8181.
