Brighten Up Your Smile With Reliable Teeth Whitening in Cary, NC
What Causes Tooth Discoloration?
A discolored tooth is the arch enemy of a polished look. Getting rid of it is the only option to revive your classic appearance. While you’re unhappy with how you look, you should also be aware of how deep tooth stains can go.
While extrinsic stains are surface-level discoloration, intrinsic stains go deep into the tooth. Your food habits, lifestyle choices (drinking and smoking habits) can cause the previous one, whereas trauma, medication, or aging play a role in causing the latter.
To understand the reason behind your teeth stains, we will first conduct a comprehensive examination of your teeth.
Why Choose Professional Teeth Whitening?
You might find numerous whitening products on the supermarket shelves, but over-the-counter treatments often prove futile. From not being strong enough to not being safe enough, the reasons behind skipping off-the-shelf options are manifold. They can also cause teeth sensitivity or turn your teeth yellowish if used without supervision.
But professional whitening at Legacy Dental is different.
- Personalized Treatment: Each smile is unique. We create your treatment per the color you desire, in consideration of the current condition of your teeth.
- Rapid, Reliable Results: Most patients leave our office with their teeth several shades lighter in a single visit.
- Safe for Your Enamel: We shield your gums and enamel using dentist-recommended whitening solutions that will not damage them in the long run.
- Lasting Whiter Smiles: Clinical-grade teeth whitening lasts longer than drugstore whiteners.
Your Teeth Whitening Choices at Legacy Dental
Your smile procedure is personalized just for you. That's why we provide both in-office whitening for an immediate outcome and custom take-home tools for controlled, gradual whitening at home.
In-Office Whitening
If you prefer fast, dramatic results for a wedding or other special event, our in-office treatment is ideal. We apply a professional-grade whitening gel to your teeth and then activate it with a unique light that speeds up the process. The procedure takes about an hour, and you depart our office with notably whiter teeth.
Take-Home Whitening Kits
Prefer to whiten in the comfort of your home? We’ll create custom trays based on impressions of your teeth. You’ll receive professional-grade whitening gel and detailed instructions to use the trays safely over several days or weeks.
Will Teeth Whitening Work for Me?
The right candidates for whitening are people with healthy gums and teeth. The people with yellowish stains enjoy the best outcome post-treatment. Whitening will not work on dental crowns, veneers, or fillings. So if you already have restorations, we can work around them so that you can have an even look.
We also ensure your mouth is healthy before we proceed with the whitening treatment. We will examine you for cavities, sore gums, or enamel issues when you visit our dentist, Dr. Timothy S Barlow.
