Category: Teeth Whitening

You can have a remarkably healthy set of teeth and gums and yet it may not appear that way. There is a long list of reasons that your well-tended teeth may be yellow, stained or otherwise discolored. Fortunately, patients of Old Milton Dental in Alpharetta, GA can enjoy teeth whitening that will put the perfect, finishing touch to their smile.

Of course, many people think of teeth whitening as nothing more than a way to change the color of the teeth, but there are other reasons to consider teeth whitening an important part of your dental care.

1. Consider teeth whitening as an anti-aging solution. You can have good skin and a radiant complexion, but if you smile and your teeth are very yellow or stained, it just ages you. Whitening eliminates this issue and can often do so in a single treatment.
2. It is fast! As just said above, patients who use our teeth whitening can often see immense changes in a single office visit. Even those with deep-set stains will see improvements in a short time.
3. It can be touched up. While many cosmetic treatments have to be repeated often, whitening needs to be done infrequently and benefits from an at home or once annual touch up.
4. Teeth whitening lets you maintain your habits. Few coffee drinkers will quit drinking this beverage to spare their teeth and the same goes of tea or even wine drinkers. Smokers too end up with stained teeth, and whitening can remedy this situation. While smoking is not something to be encouraged, if you are finding it very hard to quit this habit, high quality teeth whitening can help to reduce some of the cosmetic effects of these habits.
5. Boosts confidence. A yellow or discolored smile is one that you might be hiding from others. It is a major reason to consider teeth whitening. It will let you smile, laugh, speak and grin with much more confidence. If you find your hand going to your mouth to hide your teeth, or if you hold your lips closed when smiling, it is time to explore teeth whitening.

There are a lot of benefits of teeth whitening, not the least of which is that it gets you a better-looking smile. When we’re talking about tooth whitening, what we mean is the real deal – a professional whitening treatment. We’re not talking about a box full of little strips that you put on the front of your teeth and then end up throwing away because they’re not all that convenient to use, and besides, they don’t really get the job done. With professional whitening treatments offered by Old Milton Dental in Alpharetta, you can actually remove years’ worth of unsightly stains. Even if you’ve been constantly indulging in red wine, coffee, tea and cola drinks – or, Heaven forbid, smoking – you can get a beautiful looking smile with the help of professional tooth whitening treatments.

A brighter smile means that you’re going to feel better about yourself, and you’ll be more willing to show off that smile. That, in turn, means that you’ll be making a better impression on the people with whom you come into contact. Tooth whitening might even lead to better oral health. That doesn’t mean that it’s going to reverse decay, or fix cracks or anything like that. What it does mean is that because you’ll be so happy with the way your teeth look, you’re more likely to want to take care of them with regular brushing, flossing and checkups. So, those are the benefits. Now let’s talk about specific ways of whitening your teeth.

We personally recommend the KOR method of whitening teeth. It’s safe, effective, and the treatment can be completed in less than an hour. It simply involves filling a tray that’s specially contoured in order to ensure your comfort with a powerful bleaching gel, and then placing it in your mouth. You can expect to get amazing results in a single treatment, and once we’re done, we can give you teeth whitening trays that you can take home with you. That means you won’t have to come back quite as often for in-office treatments.

The only down side to whitening treatments is that if you have crowns, bridgework, tooth-colored fillings, or other such treatments along with your natural teeth, they won’t respond to whitening. So if you’re planning on getting a crown or other prosthesis, have your whitening treatment first so that you can be assured of a proper match.

A healthy smile is wonderful, but unfortunately, even a perfectly healthy smile may not be as bright and shining as we would like. Sadly, some cosmetic issues like discoloration and staining can cause us to feel self-conscious about a perfectly healthy grin. And, there is a surprisingly long list of issues that can lead to discolored teeth, including:

• Dark drinks like colas, coffee, tea and wine
• Tobacco use
• Certain medications
• Damage or decay of the teeth
• Oral hygiene issues
• Age

Any of these issues can lead to teeth stains that force you to hide your smile, but fortunately, patients of Old Milton Dental in Alpharetta, GA can have professional teeth whitening that delivers impressive results.

Premium Teeth Whitening Treatments

Whether you have had previous experience with teeth whitening treatments, most patients are astonished by the results from the KOR whitening system used in our office. A scientifically designed, advanced treatment that relies on a patented gel and specialized dental tray system to whiten teeth for many hours afterward, the KOR whitening promises amazing results.

Kept refrigerated to ensure premium quality, the special gel is activated when applied and the well-designed trays protect your gums and ensure that the gel remains in full contact with the teeth. Even when removed, the active ingredients continue to improve the look and condition of the enamel for hours afterward.

Without any lasers or special lights, the in-office tooth whitening actually removes debris and rejuvenates the enamel, while improving the color of the teeth. In less than one hour, the in-office treatment can deliver excellent results. Issues as stubborn as fluorosis and staining related to age can be treated with the in-office tooth whitening options. There are also at-home products that will provide whitening when used independently as well as a follow up to one of our in-office tooth whitening treatments.

Don’t worry about sensitivity after tooth whitening either, since the KOR system has been designed to eliminate such problems.
