If you're interested in having your smile brightened, we recommend that you first talk with Dr. Freiden regarding your specific goals regarding your teeth, and how teeth whitening might impact your particular situation. Some people are simply better candidates than others for a successful whitening treatment. For example, if your teeth are darkened to a yellow, brownish or orange tinge due to age, coffee, tea, or smoking, chances are very good that teeth whitening will bring you very satisfactory results. About 90 percent of patients find this to be the case. However, if your teeth are a dark gray tone from fluorosis, or tetracycline use, whitening results may be a bit less dramatic although it will be a definite improvement. Dr. Freiden was the first dentist in the mid south to perform the BRITESMILE one-hour tooth whitening procedure for his patients. Once you've decided to become a "Brite Smile" person, the process is quite simple. First, Dr. Freiden will spend time answering any questions you may have. After confirming the health of your teeth and gums, we'll prepare you for the procedure by protecting your gums and mouth with isolation materials and taking a 'before' photograph. Next, we'll apply a special gel to your teeth, which we'll then activate via a blue plasma gas lamp treatment for about 20 minutes. Over the next hour, we'll repeat this process three to four more times, bringing your teeth to their brightest white. When the last application is finished, you'll simply rinse, smile for you're 'after' picture, and leave with a brand new, beautiful white smile. Spectacular & Shiny In most cases, the "Brite Smile" system leaves teeth about nine shades lighter than their original color, as indicated on our shade guide. And of course, your new, brighter smile will be preserved the longest if you're willing to forgo such habits as smoking, drinking coffee and drinking tea. After one to five years, should you notice that the new color has become less bright, you may choose to have a touch-up. Life can be tough on teeth. And diseased, broken, chipped, fractured, worn down, or even missing teeth are not only bothersome, but left untreated, can lead to further problems. That's why we offer such a wide range of restorative services, so that regardless of the level of correction required, we can bring your mouth back to it's healthiest possible state.
