Gabriel DMD, our skilled team offers professional teeth whitening services to help you achieve that pristine, white smile you’ve always wanted. Explore this and our other cosmetic dentistry treatments to see how you can fix your smile without breaking the bank!
Sometimes brushing your teeth and flossing daily isn’t enough to prevent discoloration. Over time, you may notice your smile has lost its shine or has become more yellow than it used to be. That’s why our professional teeth whitening is designed to instantly brighten your smile in just one appointment with Dr. Gabriel. Our whitening products break down stains resulting in a renewed, confident smile.
If you suffer from discolored teeth or have noticed changes in your smile, professional whitening could be right for you. Our Wexford office works with you to decide the best treatment to remedy any dental issues you are experiencing.
Several factors can contribute to the staining, yellowing, or discoloration of your teeth:
Our Wexford office provides LED-assisted technology to whiten your teeth and effectively remove any damage your smile may have. While many patients believe that store-bought strips are the most cost-effective whitening solution, this isn’t the case. Over-the-counter solutions take longer and won’t remove tough, year-old stains that are beneath the teeth’ surface.
Dr. Gabriel will first apply our gentle whitening gel onto your teeth. This product is designed for sensitive teeth and will dissolve any stains you may have, brightening your teeth by several shades in a short amount of time.
We’ll activate the gel by using our state-of-the-art LED mouthguard, allowing the whitening solution to penetrate deeper into your teeth and remove deep discoloration. LED-assisted technology is the leading whitening method recommended by dentists everywhere for its effectiveness and sensitivity. We’re proud to provide our patients with this proven service here at our Wexford office.
For patients who have a busier schedule, Dr. Gabriel can provide them with take-home whitening treatment kits so they can achieve similar results with their teeth.
There are some factors to consider before undergoing teeth whitening procedures, such as:
Our LED-assisted teeth whitening procedure is completely safe and designed to work with sensitive teeth while also strengthening your enamel. The gel that Dr. Gabriel uses is made of amorphous calcium phosphate, which penetrates the top layer of your teeth and protects them from decay. Although you may feel some sensitivity a few days after treatment, this subsides after a while.
The effects of professional teeth whitening depends on your oral health, hygiene regimen, genetics, and eating habits. Maintaining your results requires caring for your teeth by brushing at least twice a day, flossing daily, and scheduling biannual visits at our Wexford office. Depending on your treatment, Dr. Gabriel can also provide an at-home process to boost your results for longer.
The cost of professional teeth whitening depends on your oral health needs. While many patients think that store-bought whitening strips are cheaper, these over-the-counter treatments take longer and don’t have the same results that our LED-assisted procedure can give you. During your initial consultation with Dr. Gabriel, he’ll provide you with an accurate estimate of how much your treatment may cost.
Most dental insurance agencies won’t cover the cost of teeth whitening services due to them not being considered medically necessary. We recommend that you call your provider to learn more about your policy. Dr. Gabriel will also be more than happy to answer any questions you may have about the cost of professional teeth whitening services.
Teeth whitening isn’t just an aesthetic enhancement — it boosts the health of your teeth and gives you a reason to smile.
