In order to help patients obtain bright smiles free of discoloration, we offer both at-home and in-office teeth whitening. Your Rochester dentist, Dr. Gilly Calcagno, also provides free cosmetic consultations for patients interested in our teeth whitening procedures. In today’s blog, Dr. Calcagno discusses our approach to brightening smiles with state-of-the-art whitening techniques.
Cosmetic Consultation
Dr. Calcagno offers any interested patients a free cosmetic consultation. During this visit, your Rochester MN cosmetic dentist will examine your teeth to pinpoint the cause and severity of your dental discoloration. Next, she will recommend the most appropriate whitening method to rejuvenate your smile.
Brighter Smiles in Under an Hour
With Zoom! Whitening, patients can obtain a brighter smile in less than one hour. The process involves applying a powerful bleaching gel to your teeth. Next, Dr. Calcagno will activate the gel with a special blue light. This in-office procedure works great for extrinsic stains. This type of discoloration occurs on the surface of the teeth, usually as a result of smoking or the frequent consumption of drinks such as coffee, soda, or tea.
Whiten Teeth from Home
Did you know you can remove unsightly teeth stains from home? With Kor Whitening, patients receive a custom-made whitening tray. The tray is created based on an impression taken of your teeth. The tray is filled with a special bleaching gel and worn daily for the amount of time recommended by Dr. Calcagno. The entire process typically takes two weeks to complete. Kor Whitening addresses extrinsic staining and some minor intrinsic staining. Intrinsic stains occur on the inner tooth structure and are usually caused by trauma or the use of certain antibiotics, such as tetracycline.
