Why Choose Professional Teeth Whitening?
Teeth whitening is appropriate for patients who are bothered by stains or discoloration in their teeth. Patients who have moderate or severe tooth and gum sensitivity may not be good candidates for treatment, although some teeth whitening options are available to help reduce irritation for those patients. In addition, patients who are considering teeth whitening in Puerto Rico should understand that synthetic restorations such as dental crowns or porcelain veneers will not be affected by the treatment. Finally, patients should have realistic expectations regarding the results of teeth whitening. Although some results will be evident immediately, patients who continue to smoke, or drink coffee and/or red wine, may require more treatment sessions to achieve the results they desire.
At Durán & Martínez Cosmetic and Reconstructive Dentistry, Dr. Durán takes the time to thoroughly evaluate each patient’s oral health condition, their specific treatment needs and their candidacy for various teeth whitening treatments. He evaluates the causes behind teeth stains or discoloration to identify the treatment that will work best. Based on the degree of whitening needed, as well as the patient’s sensitivities, Dr. Durán may recommend laser treatments, whitening trays, or an over-night guard. By taking the time to consult with each patient thoroughly prior to treatment, Dr. Durán is able to provide a positive and effective cosmetic dentistry experience.
Dr. Durán offers several teeth whitening treatments, based on each individual patient’s needs.
These options include:
- Night Guards -
Dr. Durán offers overnight teeth whitening trays to help patients achieve their ideal smile quickly and safely. This treatment option involves wearing an overnight whitening tray that is lined with a special whitening solution. This is a convenient option for patients who cannot find time to wear trays during the day, or for those who experience discomfort with other trays. With a night guard, the teeth whiten as you sleep. Depending on the degree of whitening needed, these trays can be worn anywhere from three nights to 10 nights to achieve the desired results. - In-office Bleaching -
In-office teeth whitening may be considered for some patients and may be recommended by some patients. During this procedure, whitening gel is carefully applied to the teeth. This procedure can produce results that are several shades whiter, but may require several office visits before the final outcome is achieved.
