The most popular form of cosmetic dentistry – dental teeth whitening, also known as teeth bleaching, is just one of the many aesthetic ways you can gain confidence by improving your smile. To whiten teeth with bleaching, a peroxide solution is placed on the enamel. This process opens the pores of the enamel, allowing the solution to reach the layer of dentin, resulting in whiter teeth. Several brands of dental teeth whitening products are available including Phillips Zoom! which is used by Dr. Ferullo along with other products. All promise one thing – noticeable results. We can also whiten teeth with veneers, bonding and dental crowns.
Over time, most teeth lose their luster and brightness because they accumulate stains made by foods and beverages. We can remove these stains and brighten your smile without harming your teeth. Your dentist makes a small opening in the back of the tooth and inserts a cotton pellet that contains a whitening agent, also called a bleach. Sometimes a heated instrument is applied to activate the bleach. The procedure may be repeated through a series of appointments to achieve the desired result. Periodic re-whitening (once a year or once every several years) may be necessary to maintain the tooth’s whiteness. Even teeth stained from smoking can be restored to their previous luster with only a few treatments.
While you might be tempted by over-the-counter whitening kits, they usually aren’t as effective as professional whitening procedures. So, if you want superior results contact Dr. Ferullo’s office in St. Petersburg and we can discuss the proper teeth whitening plan for you. Several financial arrangements are available as well so we invite you to call us today and set up an appointment with Dr. Ferullo, your caring, downtown dentist!
