Teeth Whitening
Our teeth can discolor through the years as our enamel wears down. The wearing down of enamel allows dentin, a yellow color substance that makes the core of our teeth, to show through. This is what gives our teeth a yellowish tint. Our teeth whitening in Indian Head Park helps restore teeth to a shiny white color through the use of bleach.
There are two popular teeth whitening options available at M3 Dental, each designed to safely and effectively improve your smile. During your consultation, Dr. Merchant will discuss your goals, timeline, and level of discoloration to determine which option will provide the most noticeable and comfortable results for you.
Custom Take-Home Trays
The first method involves the use of custom-made trays created by Dr. Merchant for at-home use. These trays are designed to fit your teeth precisely, allowing for even application of the whitening gel and minimizing irritation to the gums.
The strength of the gel used in these kits is lower than what is typically used for in-office bleaching. Because of this, the gel can be applied for longer periods of time. Usually, the trays are worn for a couple of hours a day or overnight for several days or weeks, depending on the product and your desired level of whitening.
This option offers flexibility and convenience while still delivering professional results under the supervision of M3 Dental. Many patients appreciate being able to whiten their teeth on their own schedule while still receiving guidance from a trusted dental team.
Crest 3DWhite Whitestrips (Professional Strength)
The second method is Crest 3DWhite Whitestrips, purchased directly from M3 Dental for at-home use. The dentist-provided version is significantly stronger (hydrogen peroxide) compared to over-the-counter kits, allowing for more dramatic whitening results.
These strips are typically worn for 30 minutes a day for 14 days, though this may vary depending on the current shade of your teeth and your whitening goals. Consistency is key to achieving optimal results.
Please Note:
This product will not whiten caps, crowns, veneers, or fillings.
It is crucial that you do not use this product if you have loose teeth, periodontal disease, or braces.
Our team will evaluate your oral health before recommending this option to ensure it is safe and effective for you. Addressing any underlying dental concerns first helps protect your long-term oral health.
