Teeth are made of salt crystals similar to common table salt. Everyone's done the experiment where you hang some yarn into a glass of salt water and large salt crystals form on the yarn as the water evaporates. The crystals are white. What makes teeth yellow or dark is the stuff that gets stuck inside the salt.
Tooth whitening Atlanta involves soaking teeth in a liquid that goes into the tooth and dissolves everything that is not part of the white crystal. The result is that the tooth is left with its natural white color.
The first step is to be sure that there is nothing wrong with your teeth. A comprehensive examination is performed with complete x-rays prior to begining your tooth whitening Atlanta. Impressions are taken of the upper and lower teeth and plaster statues are made that are exactly the same as the patient's mouth. Very precise clear rubber covers are made that fit to the patient's teeth extremely well. The dentist checks the fit of these covers and provides the patient with detailed instructions on how to use the tooth whitening Atlanta covers and whitening materials.
The patient places a small amount of the tooth whitening Atlanta material into the covers and wears them for approximately 4 hours per day for two days. If there are no problems, the patient then wears the covers for eight hours while sleeping for one week.
The primary problem that might result from tooth whitening Atlanta is tooth sensitivity to hot and cold. If this happens we desensitize the patient's teeth for two weeks using a professional strength fluoride instead of the tooth whitening Atlanta material. The tooth whitening Atlanta procedure is again resumed with a four hour per day schedule.
Tooth whitening is a relatively safe procedure that usually result in a really nice dazzling white smile. Many patients want to have tooth whitening Atlanta done but are often too embarrassed to ask or feel that they are being vain in having tooth whitening Atlanta done. However, tooth whitening Atlanta really benefits everyone. Your beautiful white smile will please many people and perhaps help make you feel more comfortable in situations and places that you might have previously been concerned about prior to your tooth whitening Atlanta.
Tooth whitening is nor permanent. Your teeth can naturally stain again after your tooth whitening Atlanta is completed. However, the method of tooth whitening Atlanta used at the Atlanta Dental Group PC allows you to later again whiten the color of teeth. The tooth whitening Atlanta covers can be used again with fresh tooth whitening Atlanta material if you have the desire to freshen up your teeth.
