Professional teeth whitening in Escuinapa

Whitening lightens the shade of your natural teeth with a whitening gel applied at the office. Before we do it, we check that your teeth and gums are healthy, because the gel shouldn't touch open cavities or inflamed gums.

Whitening lightens enamel only; it doesn't change the color of fillings, veneers or crowns.

• Healthy teeth that look yellow or darker from coffee, tea, wine, smoking or age.
• Before a wedding or a trip home, or as the first step of a smile makeover.

It's not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or with untreated cavities or gum inflammation: those come first. If you have fillings or veneers on your front teeth, we'll explain how they'll look next to your whitened teeth.

1. We check your teeth first and, if needed, do a cleaning.
2. Your gums and lips are protected.
3. The whitening gel is applied to your teeth in timed rounds.
4. At the end we compare the shade with the starting one.

The appointment takes about 90 minutes.

Teeth often feel sensitive to cold or heat for a day or two afterwards. It usually goes away on its own. If it bothers you, let us know and we'll tell you what to do.

It depends on your habits. Coffee, tea, red wine, cola and tobacco stain teeth again over time. Regular cleanings and fewer staining drinks keep the result longer.

For the first two days after the session, avoid strongly colored food and drinks.

At your consultation we check your teeth, tell you the price and whether a cleaning first makes sense. Payment plans and financing are available.
