Trust the pros! A guide to safe, effective, and comfortable teeth whitening

White teeth are associated with youthful vitality and health. Over time, even the very strong enamel that protects our teeth can wear down, exposing the darker yellow dentin layer. Also, while your teeth may look smooth, they are covered with microscopic pores. Pigments in tomato sauce, teas, and other staining foods and beverages can seep through. Your teeth may look stained or discolored as pigmented deposits become lodged into these nooks.

Fortunately, the professionals at Asuncion Dental Group in Frederick, Maryland, can turn back the hands of time by treating the cumulative effects of a daily coffee habit and other sources of discolored teeth. As a dentist, Dr. Frederick Asuncion has access to powerful products. These products contain high concentrations of ingredients that are proven to remove stains and lighten the color of your teeth. You also benefit from the oversight and expertise of a dentist. By leaving teeth whitening to the pros, every aspect of the treatment process is customized to your unique needs and with your utmost safety, comfort, and satisfaction with treatment in mind. 

After an evaluation and consultation, Dr. Asuncion may recommend one of the following two options: 

• Professional whitening strips – Unlike the strips you buy online or at the store, our products use concentrated ingredients. They have the potency to improve the color of your teeth dramatically and, with it, the appearance of your smile. Plus, patients really like that they can whiten their teeth quickly – by wearing strips for 30 minutes and as directed by Dr. Asuncion. Here again, you benefit from the guidance of a dentist who can assure you that treatment is safe and gets the naturally beautiful results that you desire
• Professional whitening trays – The whitening trays at the store are not designed to fit your mouth’s unique size and contours. The trays may be too big and shift around in your mouth, causing irritation. The whitening gel may not “stay put” due to an ill-fitting tray. So, the results from this process may be uneven – if results or changes to the color of your teeth are noticeable at all. Remember, OTC products often contain little to no ingredients that are proven to remove stains and whiten teeth. Our trays are custom-fitted to each patient’s unique mouth. The risks of discomfort, irritation, and even tissue damage are avoided due to this snug fit. Also, custom trays help to deliver the powerful carbamide peroxide whitening gel to the teeth evenly for the most natural and aesthetically pleasing results. When worn as instructed by Dr. Asuncion, this option gradually lightens the shade of your teeth. Professional trays support sustained results and may even be appropriate for patients with a history of tooth sensitivity

Asuncion Dental Group is also equipped to ensure your teeth stay healthy and retain that post-treatment gleam! We can advise on oral care techniques, products, and other steps to keep new stains from forming. Of course, keeping up with professional cleanings at our office in Frederick, Maryland, is also essential. Cleanings by one of our skilled dental hygienists remove surface stains, harmful bacteria, and stubborn plaque build-up.
