Teeth Whitening

Welcome to Holmes Dental, your trusted family dental practice dedicated to providing comprehensive dental care. We’re happy to offer teeth whitening, a popular cosmetic dental treatment that can help you achieve a brighter, whiter smile. Our experienced dental team utilizes professional techniques and advanced whitening products to ensure safe and effective results.

Understanding Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure that lightens the color of your natural teeth and removes stains or discoloration. There are various causes of tooth discoloration, including aging, lifestyle factors, and certain medications. At Holmes Dental, we offer professional teeth whitening options that provide superior results compared to over-the-counter products. Our customized treatments also reduce the risk of sensitivity, ensuring a comfortable experience.

Professional Teeth Whitening Options

We offer two professional teeth whitening options at Holmes Dental to cater to your preferences and needs.

• In-Office Whitening: At our office, we are committed to providing top-notch dental care and innovative treatments to enhance your smile. One of our standout services is the Philips ZOOM! in-office whitening. With this advanced treatment, you can achieve dramatic shade improvements in just 45 minutes. Utilizing cutting-edge blue LED technology, your teeth could be up to 8 shades whiter, effectively reversing stains from food, drinks, aging, and even certain medications. This enamel-safe gel ensures comfort, with 99% of patients experiencing little to no sensitivity. Clinically proven to deliver outstanding results, this gentle yet highly effective treatment will leave you with a brighter, more radiant smile.
• Take-Home Whitening Kits: If you prefer to whiten your teeth at your own convenience, we provide custom-made whitening trays and professional-grade whitening gel for you to use in the comfort of your own home. These custom trays ensure an even application of the whitening gel, and you can achieve gradual whitening over a period of several weeks.

The Teeth Whitening Process

The teeth whitening process at Holmes Dental involves the following steps:

• Initial Consultation: Our dental team evaluates your oral health and discusses your desired level of whitening to determine the most suitable treatment option. We consider your unique needs and goals to create a personalized whitening plan.
• In-Office Whitening: If you choose in-office whitening, we ensure a safe and effective treatment by protecting your gums and using Philips ZOOM! blue LED technology. This process typically takes about 45 minutes, allowing you to leave our office with a noticeably brighter smile.
• Take-Home Whitening: For take-home whitening, we will create custom trays that fit your teeth perfectly. During your appointment, we will provide you with instructions on how to apply the whitening gel and how long to wear the trays each day. You can whiten your teeth in the comfort of your own home, following the prescribed treatment plan.

Benefits of Professional Teeth Whitening

Choosing professional teeth whitening at Holmes Dental offers several advantages:

• Reduced Sensitivity: Our professional-grade whitening products are formulated to minimize tooth sensitivity, ensuring a comfortable treatment process. You can achieve a brighter smile without discomfort or sensitivity.

Maintaining Whitened Teeth

To maintain the brightness of your newly whitened teeth, we recommend the following tips:

• Practice Good Oral Hygiene: Brush your teeth twice a day with a whitening toothpaste, floss daily, and rinse with an antiseptic mouthwash. This helps remove surface stains and maintain the whiteness of your teeth.
• Avoid Staining Substances: Limit consumption of foods and beverages that can stain your teeth, such as coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco products. If you do consume them, rinse your mouth with water afterward or brush your teeth to minimize staining.
• Regular Dental Visits: Schedule routine check-ups and cleanings at Holmes Dental to monitor the health of your teeth and maintain your whitening results. Our dental team can provide touch-up treatments or recommend additional maintenance procedures if needed.
