In-Office Bleaching
Do you have stains that just aren’t reacting to traditional whitening treatments? In-office bleaching at Zsambeky, Chaney, & Associates can help you achieve a brighter and more confident smile by addressing intrinsic tooth stains from the inside out.
Bleaching vs. Other Teeth Whitening Treatments
You may have heard the terms “whitening” and “bleaching” used interchangeably regarding dental treatments. While they both refer to improving the color of your teeth, there is a subtle distinction between the two:
Teeth Whitening: Whitening treatments are designed to restore the natural shade of your teeth by removing surface stains. This process targets extrinsic stains caused by coffee, tea, tobacco, or certain foods. Whitening treatments are generally milder and can often be done at home with over-the-counter products or professional take-home kits.
Teeth Bleaching: Bleaching treatments, on the other hand, involve using professional-grade whitening agents to lighten the color of your teeth beyond their natural shade. This process offers more potent and immediate results due to the higher concentration of the bleaching agent.
Choosing the Right Option for You
Determining whether whitening or bleaching suits you depends on the type and severity of discoloration you have. During your consultation at Zsambeky, Chaney, & Associates, our dental professionals will evaluate your teeth and discuss your desired outcome to help you make an informed decision. We will consider factors such as the cause of discoloration, the condition of your teeth, and your oral health history to recommend the most appropriate treatment option.
We may recommend in-office bleaching over traditional whitening treatments if you have discoloration due to the following circumstances:
- Dental trauma
- Age
- Certain medication
- Smoking and tobacco use
- Certain medical conditions
