DESCRIPTION

The single most important, non-invasive cosmetic change that can greatly improve your looks is to whiten your teeth. A brighter white smile is more attractive and will be noticed immediately.
 

The color of a person's teeth is determined by many factors. Race and genetics are probably most important in determining the baseline teeth color in individuals. But various external factors, including repeated exposure to coloring agents such as tea, coffee, red wine, smoking, etc. can have a darkening effect on the color of the teeth. Also certain medications (Antibiotics) taken in childhood, and exposure to excessive flouride can cause teeth discoloration.

Over time the discoloration becomes more and more apparent and more embarrassing. However, modern technology has developed methods to address this. Teeth whitening is the most extensive performed cosmetic dental procedure.

Before teeth whitening is performed it is very important to consult with the dentist to ensure that the general oral health is good and capable of taking the whitening treatment. We strongly emphasize this prior to teeth whitening. Teeth whitening can be broadly classified into two types. At-home and In-Office procedures.

At-Home Teeth Whitening

At-Home procedures consist of wearing a custom designed bleaching tray into which the teeth whitening agents are applied. The dentist prepares this custom bleaching tray and will instruct the patient on how often it needs to be worn to get the maximum whitening effect. Typically at-home procedures produce good results, but take longer and are more cumbersome then in-office whitening.

In-office teeth whitening

In-office teeth whitening involves using specially designed whitening agents in combination with plasma lights to produce dazzling results. The process involves using a high intensity dental light to promote the quick and deep release of the teeth whitening agent next to the teeth. This reduces the time required to whiten the teeth to merely about one hour in the dental chair. Due to the concentrated approach in-office teeth bleaching produces truly dazzling results. The in-office procedure is completely safe and has been well-tested by thousand of dentists.

We at StarBrite Dental use the revolutionary "Sapphire" Plasma Arc Light process developed by Rembrandt. The results of this process can be dramatic, up to 8 to 10 shades brighter teeth in one hour of treatment. We also have advanced imaging programs which will allow you to see a simulation of how dramatically your smile appearance will change once the procedure is performed.

In fact if you have a digital picture of your smile, send it to us via email at officemanager@eastbaydentist.com, and we will send you a live simulation of how your own smile will change after the whitening treatment. This service is provided free for your benefit.
