How Teeth Whitening Works at The Dentist

Kimberly A. Rice, DDS, PLC offers safe teeth bleaching treatment.

Kimberly A. Rice, DDS, PLC in Ypsilanti, MI can whiten your teeth safely and effectively in the office. We know there are many options available in stores and online, but the effectiveness and safety of those can be questionable.

Let us help you get the smile you desire in just one visit.

Step 1

We’ll make sure your teeth and gums are healthy before treatment, and then check the current shade and plan how white to go. The teeth are cleaned and prepped to remove any plaque.
Step 2

After cleaning, the teeth are kept dry, and we may use a retractor to keep the lips and tongue out of the way. We also apply a gel or shield to protect the gums.
Step 3

The front of your teeth are covered with a whitening solution, and light activates the whitening process. We closely time and monitor your progress until the agreed-upon shade is reached. Then we rinse and may apply fluoride for tooth sensitivity.

Once complete, we’ll go over a few home instructions, such as which food and drinks to avoid for the next few hours.

We also offer teeth whitening options to take home, with custom trays and a safe whitening solution. While this whitening process takes longer, it also brightens teeth beautifully.

How do celebrities get their teeth so white?

This depends on the celebrity and the quality of his/her natural smile. Some celebrities use professional teeth whitening to get a star-worthy smile, while others whose natural teeth need extra work may opt for porcelain veneers.

Porcelain veneers are thin shells bonded on existing teeth to transform their appearance. They fix smile flaws such as gaps, discoloration, misalignments, and fractures.
Why are my teeth so yellow even though I brush them?

Many factors affect your tooth color, including the food you eat, the liquids you drink, age, and your lifestyle, including dental hygiene and smoking.

Some factors are under our control, while others like aging are not. Teeth naturally change color as we age because of enamel wear. This can cause teeth to appear gray or yellow in color.

If you brush your teeth daily and use an FDA approved toothpaste but are still concerned about the color of your teeth, then please schedule a dentist appointment in Ypsilanti, MI to discuss your concerns and whitening options.
