Visits to the dentists have increased many folds not because people have stopped dreading the sound of a drill. But only to tell the dentist, "I want the whitest teeth you've ever given anybody!" People are emphatically demanding blindingly bright smiles, and it doesn't matter should that come with a warning label for your retinas.

A smile can be the most eye-catching feature of your face. Even a subtle change can make a big difference in the way you look and feel. Our panel dentists can make yellow or gray teeth whiter with professional bleaching and also can replace, as it may necessitate, the darker silver fillings! Get your chipped, broken or missing teeth repaired with tooth-colored restorations!

The current emphasis has shifted from cars, couture and Chihuahuas; the new must-have accessory is a set of gleaming, pearly-white teeth. One of the easiest ways to improve your overall appearance, tooth whitening has rapidly become the hottest new makeover trick. Because white teeth are commonly associated with youth, health and Hollywood or celebrities, it's no surprise that the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry reports that the number of whitening procedures has increased more than 300 percent in the last five years.

Many individuals who have discolored enamel are not satisfied with the appearance of their teeth and go to great lengths to achieve the perfect smile. The answer lies in Tooth bleaching.

Are your teeth stained, discolored, or just showing their age? Youthful Bright Teeth is a memory you can have again! It depends what all you want according to your cost considerations. How white is too white? Dentists typically use a 16-shade guide that sets the standard for whiteness, wherein most professional treatments can bring teeth up to the top 2 percent. However, as a general rule, teeth should never be whiter than the whites of your eyes.

To get your smile back to looking its best, you should choose a whitening method that:

• Achieves the longest-lasting results
• Gives you the most naturally brilliant and uniform look
• Is clinically proven to be safe and effective
• Uses a low concentration of active ingredient (hydrogen peroxide)

Bleaching:

Drinking too much tea or coffee, smoking or even eating strongly coloured foods can stain and discolour them. There are toothpastes available that will help remove these stains, but they can't change the actual colour of the tooth underneath. Everyday life will take its toll on our teeth, anyway.

Your DNA, just like the colour of your hair or your eyes, determines the colour of your teeth. As we get older, the dentine - the soft, pulpy substance below the enamel that protects the nerves and the blood supply to the tooth - changes colour, becoming more yellow. This is something that stain-removing toothpaste alone cannot help. Milder form of it can be corrected without doubt or much effort.

Our panel dentists can, though, change the strong ones. By applying a bleaching agent to the teeth, they can whiten the teeth, giving you a sparkly white smile. This procedure is simple, harmless and practically painless.

It is important, though, to do it under the dentist's supervision. OTC purchases are attractive but are not without inherent failures and sometimes damaging to the purpose. Don't be tempted to buy kits over the counter unless the reputation of product has proven locus standi. Not only are they not made to fit everybody's mouth exactly; it may be that bleaching isn't suitable for prospective user especially with gum disease or crowns.

How would my dentist whiten my teeth? The most common way a dentist will whiten or bleach your teeth is using a special sleeve and some gel. First of all, the dentist will give your mouth a thorough check-up to make sure there are no other problems and that your gums are nice and healthy. Then he or she will take an impression of your teeth, upper and lower, using a special tray with dental putty. Using that impression, a plastic sleeve will be made which can fit snugly and exactly around your teeth.

The dentist will then show you how to put a small amount of the bleaching gel into the sleeve and then how to slide it over your teeth. Then you take the sleeve and the gel home and use it overnight, maybe every other or every third night, until your teeth are the desired colour. You may find that your teeth are more sensitive for about 24 hours after each application, but this is only temporary.

Our panel dentists also use state-of-the-art BriteSmile or Zoom whitening process in just over an hour in-office, or with the at-home bleach treatments you can have your dazzling smile back again.

Laser Teeth Whitening

There are other ways available to whiten your teeth, for example with the use of Lasers, which may be quicker. The advantage of the 'sleeve' method, though, is that you have greater control over the colour. Laser teeth whitening or bleaching is a procedure in which a translucent bleaching gel is applied to the teeth and a laser light is used to activate the crystals in the gel. This allows the gel to penetrate into the enamel and brighten the teeth.

Laser teeth whitening utilizes the latest dental technology to provide instant results for its patients. This dental procedure can be completed in a single visit and can be performed in a dentist's office. The biggest advantage of obtaining laser teeth whitening is that having whiter teeth increases the beauty of your smile. Everybody appreciates a nice smile. A great smile makes a favorable impression on others and makes an individual feel better about the way that they look.

How much does laser teeth whitening cost? Costs can vary depending upon the area of the country and the type of whitening treatment you undergo. Laser teeth whitening is typically in the range USD 400.00 to 500.00 for the complete procedure in India. Generally speaking, the price of teeth whitening increases with the number of in-office treatments required by the patient. Dental insurance does not typically cover the cost of the teeth whitening procedure.

How white can your teeth become? How white your teeth can become from bleaching and whitening is a common question with a very subjective answer. Some whitening procedures claim they can whiten your teeth by up to nine shades, but that is highly unlikely. Just a change of two or three shades will make a significant difference in just about anyone's smile. There is no one standard system in the dental field to measure and determine tooth color. The most often heard about, however, is the Vita shade guide. This guide divides tooth color into four basic shade ranges:

A (reddish brown)

B (reddish yellow)

C (gray)

D (reddish gray)

In the A range there are five levels of darkness. Ranges B, C and D, each have four levels. Not all of your teeth are the same natural color.

Usually your eyeteeth tend to be darker than the others, your front teeth are typically the whitest, and molars tend to be a shade between the two. The goal for everyone is to achieve his or her individual optimum whiteness while still looking natural. During your first consultation for tooth whitening, your dentist will go over what you personally can expect for your specific smile. How white teeth will become from a given procedure will vary from person to person. The structure of your teeth and the type of procedure implemented will affect the outcome.

At-Home Tooth Whitening

Tooth whitening, also referred to as tooth bleaching, is an aesthetic dentistry technique designed to remove stains and discoloration, as well as lighten pigmentation within the teeth. While many dental offices now offer services such as in-office teeth whitening, at-home tooth whitening gel is another product that can be used to this end. Tooth bleaching kits take approximately two to six weeks to accomplish the desired level of whiteness and must be used under the supervision of a cosmetic dentist.

Using Tooth Whitening Gel The cosmetic dentist begins the tooth whitening process by checking the teeth for cavities. The tooth whitening gel could damage teeth with cavities in them. If cavities are found, they will be repaired before tooth whitening begins. If no cavities are found, the teeth will be cleaned to remove plaque and a mouth tray will be custom fitted. The dentist will then provide a peroxide-based tooth whitening gel. The mouth tray should be filled with the tooth whitening gel and worn overnight for two to three weeks.

Important Note:

Teeth bleaching gel refills are ONLY used with dentist-made (professional) Whitening Trays. By buying these bleaching gel refills, you acknowledge that you have had professional instruction regarding the storage, dispensing and application of bleaching gel. Do NOT smoke, drink or eat while bleaching your teeth. It is NOT recommended to bleach your teeth if you're pregnant or nursing

Advantages & Disadvantages of Teeth Whitening

In addition, a whiter smile tends to minimize the appearance of facial wrinkles, giving way to a more youthful and energetic appearance.

Finally, a whiter smile gives people to whom you are speaking a place to focus on and gives you a friendlier appearance.

Disadvantages:

Although bleaching is very effective, there can be short-term disadvantages, such as sore gums or teeth from the bleach. This disappears when bleach use is discontinued. Some individuals are more chemically sensitive. If you are one of them, inform your cosmetic dentist so that you can be tested for sensitivity to the solution.

Research indicates that bleaching is completely effective in nearly 80% of people. In cases of serious teeth discoloration, bleaching may not be the best choice. Veneers or crowns may be the superior choice. Bleaching is usually the first solution to try due to its lower cost.

Some people experience discomfort from wearing the mouth tray. This typically goes away in short order, but if you suspect that there is a problem with the fit of your mouth tray, call your dentist's office. They can often make small adjustments that will minimize or eliminate the problem.
