Getting immediate care for a dental emergency saves you time and money, prevents further complications, and is the best way to relieve your pain. The sooner you get help, the better!
Before deciding whether teeth whitening suits you, you should schedule a consultation with us. Dr. Omar Amin will conduct an oral assessment and take digital scans to rule out the possibility of gum disease or tooth decay. During the consultation, you can discuss your goals, and our dentists will develop the most suitable treatment plan for your situation.
If you prefer at-home teeth whitening, we will take an impression of your teeth using an intraoral scanner or trays and putty. The impressions are then sent to the laboratory, where the custom trays are crafted for your unique needs.
If you pick the in-office teeth whitening option, your dentist will use protective gels and cheek protractors to prevent the whitening agent from coming into contact with your soft tissue. Your dentist will then activate the whitening agent using UV light. The process can be repeated several times and may take about an hour.
Once your at-home teeth whitening trays have been completed, you can return to the office to get them. Your dentist will instruct you to effectively use your teeth whitening trays to improve your smile at home.
Take-home involves wearing custom-made whitening trays that set the patient’s teeth in a whitening solution. Your dentist will provide a kit tailored to your needs.
In-office whitening is suitable for patients seeking to whiten their teeth quickly. Your dentist will apply a whitening agent and activate it using UV light before rinsing it.
UV whitening forms part of the in-office whitening treatment. It involves using Ultraviolet light to activate the whitening agent’s molecules. The light helps to speed up the whitening process.
Chemical whitening involves using ADA-approved whitening products such as carbamide peroxide and Hydrogen peroxide to achieve a whiter noticeable smile. It is also part of the in-office teeth whitening treatment.
TMD pain can extend to the neck, ear, face, upper back and shoulders. It can also cause migraines.
When administered by a professional dentist, teeth whitening should not damage your teeth.
Generally, teeth whitening is suitable for anyone with healthy teeth and gums. It is proven to help eliminate stains caused by coffee, tobacco, tetracycline, and many more.
Preventive measures like avoiding drinking and eating foods that can stain can help ensure your teeth last longer.
Unlike typical over-the-counter teeth whitening kits, professional whitening uses more potent formulas to deliver the desired results in a single treatment.

Stress can make TMD worse. Clenching of the jaw and bruxism can wear out the jaw and enhance TMJ pain.
