Teeth Whitening in Richmond – An Option to Suit Every Lifestyle
At TLC Dentists we’re all about offering our patients convenience – even when it comes to teeth whitening in Richmond. We understand that everyone is busy which is why convenience is important, particularly when it comes to elective treatments like teeth whitening.
Patients can choose from a variety of teeth whitening treatments. If you have an upcoming special event and you want whiter teeth in a hurry, 2 hour high-power in-chair teeth whitening may be your best option and can often be slotted into a lunch break.
Alternatively, you may prefer to whiten your teeth at your own pace in the comfort of your home, using our gentler on the teeth take-home Pola teeth whitening kits. Richmond patients love that they can achieve the same result whiteness with both these choices!
Take-Home Teeth Whitening – How Does it Work?
Our Pola take-home teeth whitening treatments are a great solution if you don’t want to whiten your teeth at the dentist or if your teeth are sensitive or weaker. You’ll be given a kit that contains custom-fit teeth whitening trays and a series of syringes filled with the bleaching gel. The trays are filled with the bleaching gel and are worn over the teeth to keep the bleach in close contact with the tooth enamel.
Poladay and Polanight are convenient, safe, and effective take-home teeth whitening treatments, which are all about convenience.
Patients can achieve their desired level of whiteness by wearing their teeth whitening trays for 30 minutes twice a day or longer overnight as they sleep.
The Pola formula contains a high volume of water and has a neutral Ph and high viscosity which protects the gums during treatment. It was actually discovered to whiten teeth as a side effect of originally being a safe gum treatment.
Patients can expect to see results within 5 to 14 days.
Chairside Teeth Whitening
Not everyone wants to wait for 14 days to unleash their new white smile on the world and they don’t have to when they choose in-chair teeth whitening in Richmond. Within a few hours, patients can have whiter brighter teeth and a smile to be proud of.
Our dentist starts by covering the lips and gums so that only the teeth are exposed. The teeth whitening gel is carefully applied and depending on the brand used, an intense LED light may be used to speed up the whitening process. The gel is washed off and the level of whiteness checked. Our experienced team will repeat the process until your teeth have achieved their desired whiteness. This is most suitable for patients with strong teeth and no sensitivity, gum issues or fracture and wear lines on their teeth.
