Teeth whitening procedures can lighten your teeth by up to eight shades in just one session!
Before undergoing a teeth whitening procedure, a comprehensive consultation and examination with Dr. Liel Allon at DentAllon Dentistry is necessary. During this initial visit, our Nassau Bay dentist will evaluate your oral health, discuss your whitening goals, and determine whether teeth whitening is the best option for you. This is also the perfect time to address any questions or concerns you may have about the procedure.
Once you're deemed a suitable candidate for teeth whitening, the next step involves a thorough cleaning of your teeth. This is crucial to remove any plaque or tartar build-up that could hinder the whitening process. After cleaning, a protective barrier is applied to your gums to shield them from the whitening gel. Your teeth are then prepared for the application of the whitening agent.
The final step is the actual whitening procedure. Depending on the type of whitening treatment chosen, the process may vary slightly. For in-office whitening, a high-concentration bleaching gel is applied to your teeth and activated with a special light to speed up the whitening process. For take-home kits, a lower-concentration gel is used, which you'll apply yourself using custom-made trays over a specified period.
Teeth whitening can dramatically improve your appearance by removing stubborn stains and discoloration. This can result in a more vibrant, younger-looking smile that boosts your overall self-esteem.
One of the key benefits of professional teeth whitening is that it can be customized to meet your specific needs. Whether you prefer in-office whitening for faster results or a take-home kit for convenience, Dr. Allon can tailor the treatment to achieve your desired level of whiteness.
When performed by a professional like Dr. Allon, teeth whitening is a safe and effective procedure. He ensures the correct use of whitening agents and takes necessary precautions to protect your gums and soft tissues, providing you with a brighter smile without any harm to your oral health.
Professional teeth whitening results can last up to three years with proper care and maintenance!
Dental sedation has been around for centuries.
Sedation dentistry has so many uses outside of causing patients to feel relaxed. Sedation also reduces gag reflex sensitivity which makes treatments on the rear molars easier to perform. Those with low pain tolerance can also benefit from sedation, as it reduces pain sensitivity.
Patients with severe dental anxiety are likely to avoid dental appointments and neglect necessary treatments. Sedation makes it easier for patients and the dentist to prevent serious oral health problems by reducing stress and memory associated with dental procedures.
Sedation is useful for children because they are likely to be apprehensive or scared of going to the dentist. Young children are less cooperative and in more complex or long procedures, this can be an issue. Some kids have difficulty holding their mouth open or sitting still for long procedures and sedation helps improve all of these conditions.
