Anyone interested in quickly achieving a brighter smile may be a great candidate for in-office teeth whitening. Prior to getting teeth whitening, your dentist will assess your teeth and gums to determine that they are healthy enough for the treatment. Then, we will recommend a treatment plan based on your concerns and goals. Professional teeth whitening can give you fast, impressive results by targeting stains that have developed within your natural enamel. Considered an advantage compared to store-bought whitening treatments, your professional teeth whitening treatment will be customized based on your needs.

In-office teeth whitening is performed in one of our luxurious treatment rooms at MINT dentistry, and it does not require anesthesia. However, if you have dental anxiety or a powerful gag reflex, sedation dentistry options may be available. Your teeth have to get cleaned and dried prior to the procedure so that the whitening solution can be applied evenly. Then, a protective barrier will be applied over your gums while your eyes will be protected using special glasses. A member of our Hammond, LA staff will place a professional-strength whitening gel on your teeth and expose your mouth to our advanced teeth whitening lamp. The combination of this light and gel works to fade the stain on the tooth surfaces. Based upon your present enamel color and desirable outcome, this procedure may be completed 2 – 3 times. As soon as your procedure is complete, the rest of the gel and gum barrier will be removed before your teeth are rinsed.

You should be good to leave following your teeth whitening treatment provided you have not used any sedation. You should stay away from products that may stain your teeth (lipstick, coffee, and tobacco products) for at least two days following your treatment. You will experience sensitivity to cold and hot — this will only last for 3 – 5 days. To keep the results, you need to brush your teeth as soon as possible after consuming staining foods and beverages in addition to tobacco products. When at home, you must follow a daily oral hygiene routine, including cleaning and flossing, to avoid stains. Professional cleanings twice a year at our Hammond, LA center will also help decrease the accumulation of new stains to help keep your smile bright. If you need to refresh your results in a couple of years, you can schedule a second professional whitening treatment or ask a MINT dentistry team member about home teeth whitening options.

As a cosmetic procedure, teeth whitening is not typically covered by dental insurance. During your initial consultation at our Hammond, LA practice, our staff will go over cost estimates and payment options. We are committed to helping you obtain the dazzling smile you have always wanted. Ask your dentist about our current specials, low-interest medical financing, or our MINT Discount Plan to help make your oral health and cosmetic dentistry treatments easier to afford.
