Professional Teeth Whitening for Optimum Results

Professional teeth whitening works and is less expensive compared to over the counter strips, gels, pastes, polishes, rinses, and trays, especially when you consider how much product you have to use to see results.

An experienced cosmetic dentist in Delray Beach may seem more expensive, but you will not have to use as much product. Professional teeth whitening is much safer as well.

Professional Teeth Whitening in Delray Beach

Cosmetic dentist Dr. George Sanchez and his team use custom made professional teeth whitening trays that allow for close monitoring. While chairside tooth whitening is another option that cosmetic dentists in Delray Beach use, it is not as safe as custom-made teeth whitening trays.

Safety First with Teeth Whitening

To begin with, over the counter products do not contain as much active whitening ingredient, people often use too much or apply too often. Just like anything too much is never a good thing.

All too often too much tooth whitening causes sensitivity. In addition, over bleaching causes enamel damage. In this case teeth look chalky or blue.

Your Tooth Whitening Appointment

During your dental checkup in Delray Beach, Dr. George will examine your teeth. If your teeth are healthy, a mold or impression is made for your new custom-made trays. When your trays are ready, you will be given a prescription teeth-whitening gel that you will use according to Dr. George’s instructions. You will see results in 12 to 14 days with maximum whitening in 3 to 4 weeks.

If you follow Dr. George’s dental blog, you will remember that professional teeth whitening only work on natural teeth. If you have tooth colored fillings, porcelain veneers or any other type of restoration tooth whitening will not work.

Porcelain Veneers Take Skill for an Accurate Fit

A bad Porcelain veneers take skill. From the first initial consultation to the final placement, porcelain veneers are best left to a skilled cosmetic dentist who is serious about continued education.

Cosmetic Dentistry and General Dentistry are Not The Same

Just because the American Dental Association doesn’t recognize cosmetic dentistry as a specialty doesn’t mean it isn’t one. Dentist’s fresh out of school probably won’t be adept at porcelain veneer placement unless they specialized in it while taking general dentistry classes in dental school.

A general dentist fills cavities, places dental crowns, builds bridges for missing teeth and probably places inlays and onlays. What most general dentists aren’t well adept at is porcelain veneer placement.

Porcelain Veneers Placement is Key

According to Delray Beach cosmetic dentist Dr. George Sanchez, improper veneer placement causes damage to other teeth. A bad cement causes problems for  adjoining teeth. Patient comfort is of the utmost importance and if a veneer is rough on the backside, it’s annoying.

Your Porcelain Veneers Consultation

During your scheduled consultation with Dr. George, an overall assessment will be conducted including digital photos and x-rays both before and after enamel removal. Because a portion of the tooth is removed for fit and placement, the veneer procedure is permanent.

After tooth preparation, Dr. George and his team will make a temporary veneer while your permanent one is manufactured, taking about two weeks.

When your new porcelain veneers are ready, the magic begins.

Your Delray Beach cosmetic dentist begins by checking your veneers for color and fit before cementing in place, finally curing with a light or laser to harden the bond.

With Dr. George’s help you are ready to show off your polished veneers to the world.
