Teeth Whitening

Over time, teeth naturally lose their shine. Thanks to innovations in modern dentistry, though, achieving a bright smile is simple with teeth whitening.

At Camelot Dental Group, it is the priority of our team to offer efficient cosmetic dentistry solutions for our patients. We are proud to offer the patients of Columbus options for teeth whitening at home. 

Since we are oral health professionals, the products and whitening treatment we offer are far more effective than over-the-counter options like whitening strips or simply using whitening toothpaste.

Why Do Teeth Get Dull Over Time?

As your mouth matures, teeth can naturally become dull and lose their luster. This is usually due to standard wear and tear associated with chewing, grinding, biting and general aging. 

Additionally, acids and colors of different foods can stain your teeth. For example, if you regularly consume coffee, tea, red wine or artificially dyed foods, your teeth will become stained. Certain medications can also stain teeth over time, and tobacco users are especially prone to dulled teeth. 

Luckily, teeth whitening treatments function as an external stain remover for teeth. However, if you have internal tooth staining from medications, a root canal or decay, Dr. Chris King and Dr. Paul King may recommend a different treatment like porcelain veneers.

What Happens During Teeth Whitening?

Camelot Dental Group is proud to offer teeth whitening at home. We will provide you with special trays that fit your mouth and a whitening solution. The whitening solution goes into your trays, which then fit securely over your teeth. As you wear the tray, the bleach solution will whiten your teeth. Trays should be worn for at least 30 minutes a day, or overnight.

It’s important to note that teeth whitening is a purely aesthetic procedure and doesn’t contribute to the overall health and wellness of your mouth. Instead, it simply helps you brighten your smile. If you suspect you need more intensive treatment to restore your mouth, call us at 614-451-5115 to discuss our full range of restorative dental treatments.

Why Should I Get My Teeth Professionally Whitened?

Hydrogen peroxide, the key bleaching agent for teeth whitening, is only present in small amounts in over-the-counter products like whitening gel, strips and toothpaste. Using these products may provide a few months of results, but due to the low concentration of the whitening agent, teeth bleaching will quickly fade.

On the other hand, professional teeth whitening treatments have a much higher concentration of hydrogen peroxide and lasts far longer. Since our team regularly treats you, we’re also able to tailor your whitening treatment to your specific oral health needs. If you have restorations, for example, or sensitive teeth, we can provide any necessary modifications.

As dental professionals, Dr. Chris King, Dr. Paul King and the team are well-versed in cosmetic dentistry. We look forward to helping you with your new smile.
