A professional tooth whitening is always the best way to go. A comprehensive dental examination including x-rays rules out any potential problems before they occur during the bleaching procedure. The gel can seep into a dental cavity or damaged filling and cause sensitivity or it can kill a tooth. The result in this case is a root canal when all you wanted is a white beautiful smile.

          Our dentists prefer the professional tooth whitening system that uses custom made bleaching trays. After a dental impression is taken, models of the patient are made and the trays are fabricated onto these models. It takes one to two days to make the trays but it is worth it. This system allows the gel to soak deeply into the enamel to get the full effect. The deeper the gel goes in the tooth enamel, the whiter the teeth. Some instant methods do not penetrate deeply and that the color does not last.

          Having a cosmetic dentist supervise your professional tooth whitening also allows for future cosmetic dental care to be integrated with your bleaching procedure. Not all teeth can be bleached. A dental crown and many fillings retain their old color and look terrible against your white teeth.

         The dentists at the Atlanta Dental Group PC have chosen to offer their patients a professional tooth whitening that works well. They chose a method that minimally insults their patient's teeth and which has very few side effects. With professional supervision, a number of problems are often avoided.
