Teeth Whitening

Why do teeth turn yellow or become discolored?

Many factors contribute to teeth yellowing or discoloration. Certain medications, the stuff you drink and eat, and your age can all play a role. Beverages like red wine, coffee, and tea can leave surface stains on the enamel of your teeth.

Smoking and tobacco are also big culprits. Eventually, the surface stains can get even more challenging to get rid of, because they soak deep into the enamel of your tooth to the dentin.

Is teeth whitening dangerous?

As long as you obey product instructions and guidelines, teeth whitening is an entirely safe process. For reliable, safe results, the team at Braselton Smile Studio provides Zoom whitening treatments. You can choose to have your teeth whitened in just one visit or gradually with a take-home whitening kit.

No matter which course of treatment you choose, the Zoom whitening solution is entirely safe to place on your teeth and in your mouth. Note that the bleaching agents may cause some non-permanent gum and tooth sensitivity, but this is the only discomfort you might feel.

What is the Zoom in-office procedure like?

Zoom in-office teeth-whitening is simple and could whiten your teeth by up to eight shades in only one visit.* At your appointment, an experienced Braselton Smile Studio team member fits upper and lower dental trays into your mouth. The trays are filled with a hydrogen peroxide whitening solution.

Your dental professional covers your gums and lips to protect them from the solution. They fill the trays with the bleaching solution and position a specialized bright light over your teeth. You sit back and relax as the bleach and light work together to whiten your teeth for three 15-minute treatments in a single visit.

Between these 15-minute treatments, you wait comfortably, and following the final bleaching treatment, your dental expert applies a gel to your teeth to minimizes any sensitivity you may feel. That’s all. Your teeth are whiter, and your smile is brighter in about two hours.

For a more gradual approach to whitening teeth over a couple of weeks, the Braselton Smile Studio team also offers at-home teeth-whitening kits.
