- Tobacco
Stained teeth not only affect the appearance of your smile, but it also impacts your confidence. Our professional in-office teeth whitening South East Calgary offered at Concept Dentistry is an excellent option to combat tooth staining in as little as one appointment.
Our patients ask us often, why should I pay for in-office whitening versus purchasing an over-the-counter whitening kit available at any local store?
We reply that by using our SpaDent in-office treatment, you will typically see significant results after only just one treatment, while the over-the-counter kits can take many applications and still not achieve the whitening you may be looking for.
Additionally, our in-office whitening is safer is our teeth whitening solution is minimally invasive. Our Calgary dentists apply the whitening under controlled dental conditions while you are self-reliant when using the over-the-counter treatments.
Compared to over-the-counter treatments, our whitening agents are more powerful and use advanced whitening agents. So our treatments can provide you with longer-lasting visible results. Additionally, we will provide you with take-home whitening trays so you can perform your touch-ups, so can keep your smile whiter and brighter.
Most patients tell us that the in-office whitening procedure is more comfortable and being minimally invasive and professionally applied, there is greater control over the outcome.
Professional in-office whitening can whiten your teeth up to eight shades lighter in one visit. The beauty of the SpaDent™ whitening system is how gentle it is on your teeth. Patients’ sensitive teeth are great candidates for SpaDent™ because of how gentle it is.
Step 1 in your whitening journey will be a consultation where during your appointment, we will discuss the results you hope to achieve. As well, we will perform a comprehensive examination of your teeth and gums to ensure your compatibility with the treatment.
Step 2 is a tooth cleaning before your Calgary teeth whitening appointment. Here we can do a thorough cleaning to remove any calculus or plaque on your teeth. Without doing this, the whitening gel will not be able to penetrate the tough layers of grime that may have accumulated on your teeth. This way, we can maximize the benefit of your treatment.
Step 3 is the actual Whitening procedure itself. For your procedure, we will cover your gums with a special substance to protect them as well as apply lip moisturizer to protect your delicate lip surfaces. Typically most in-office Teeth Whitening treatments consist of two 20-minute sessions, but procedure length may vary depending on your specific tooth whitening needs. It is recommended that you do not eat or drink anything that would stain, such as coffee or red wine, for at least 24 to 48 hours (as your teeth will be porous) after your whitening treatment in Calgary, AB. We strongly recommend that you follow the post-op instructions we will provide you with to ensure maximum results.
