Professional Tooth Whitening for Newton Massachusetts

Teeth bleaching is one of the most common and most effective cosmetic dental procedures to improve the appearance of your smile. According to a national survey by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, 96% of adults believe an attractive smile makes a person more appealing. Indeed, your smile is one of the first things people notice when they meet you for the first time.

Some causes of teeth discoloration:

• Coffee stains
• Tobacco discoloration
• Aging
• Poor diet
• Tetracycline antibiotic in childhood

There are many over-the-counter teeth bleaching products available and several professional tooth whitening options as well. As one would expect, professional tooth whitening gives whiter, more consistent, and longer lasting results that the products available at the local drug store. Teeth whitening, like any cosmetic dental procedure, should not be undertaken without first consulting with Newton - Weston, MA area cosmetic dentist, Dr. John Bullock.

Professional Tooth Whitening Methods We Recommend

Zoom Take-Home Teeth Whitening: The Zoom Take-Home professional tooth whitening system takes 1-2 weeks and consists of self-applied trays with a teeth bleaching agent you wear on your teeth for a specified amount of time each day. Over the course of the 1-2 weeks, the teeth bleaching agent will begin to turn your teeth whiter. Dr. Bullock may recommend starting your teeth whitening process with this method and can discuss the details during your consultation.

Rod Kurthy’s Deep Bleaching™: Because some teeth are resistant to traditional tooth whitening processes, Dr. Bullock sometimes uses the combination in-office and take home Rod Kurthy Deep Bleaching™ method to whiten your teeth. Since tooth sensitivity is often a problem with any teeth whitening process, he uses desensitizers throughout the Deep Bleaching process.

Sometimes a combination of the Zoom Take Home teeth whitening process and the Rod Kurthy Deep Bleaching™ method are best to achieve the teeth whitening results you need. Often, an adequate level of teeth whitening can be accomplished with the Zoom process. However, some people have teeth which are resistant even to conventional professional tooth whitening procedures who may need to consider using the Rod Kurthy Deep Bleaching™ method. If you have already tried any other teeth bleaching method, including with lights or lasers, and not been satisfied, Dr. Bullock is likely to recommend the Rod Kurthy Deep Bleaching method only.

Dr. Bullock has been successful in achieving a whiter smile even when patients have discovered their teeth were somewhat resistant to past teeth bleaching attempts.
