Teeth Whitening
White teeth are highly valued, but in reality, several factors can alter their color and make them look duller or more yellow. Fortunately, it is possible to correct this flaw and restore your smile's sparkle with professional teeth whitening, either in a clinic or at home. Offered at Clinique Poirier by our dentists in Salaberry-de-Valleyfield, these treatments will give you white, shiny teeth in just a few days or weeks, in complete safety.
TEETH WHITENING TO TREAT A COMMON PROBLEM
Yellowing of the teeth affects many people and is usually caused by thinning or stained enamel. The dentin, or inner part of the tooth, is yellowish in color and becomes visible when the naturally white enamel loses its thickness. Certain foods, drinks, and habits (wine, tea, coffee, citrus fruits, tomatoes, tobacco, etc.) can also stain or alter the enamel and, over time, contribute to a duller, yellower appearance.
PROFESSIONAL TEETH WHITENING FOR OPTIMAL, SAFE RESULTS
While some treatments are available at pharmacies, it is recommended that you seek professional whitening. Not only are the results better and longer lasting, but professional whitening is much safer than over-the-counter products, which can damage tooth enamel. Our Valleyfield dentists offer two treatment options to help you achieve whiter teeth.
In-clinic whitening (chairside whitening)
At the clinic, the dental hygienist applies a whitening product directly to the teeth according to the dentist's recommended dosage and then activates it with a high-energy lamp. This usually requires one or two appointments, lasting 30 minutes to an hour. Afterwards, touch-ups can be done at home using custom trays.
At-home whitening
This is done using custom trays made from impressions taken at the clinic. These are filled with whitening gel and applied to the teeth daily for 60 to 90 minutes. The treatment usually lasts two to three weeks, depending on the patient's needs and the product dosage.
