Whitening at Barrett Family Dental

Whitening in Red Bud, Illinois

Teeth whitening is an important step in achieving a beautiful smile. Whitening can improve the appearance of your teeth and also help prevent certain dental issues such as dental stains.

A healthy, white smile can be one of the foundations to a successful smile. With it, you’ll have enhanced confidence from looking better and be more likely to maintain your teeth for longer. Teeth whitening can also be a good decision for those looking for a quicker result or who suffer from sensitive teeth. Teeth whitening has been around for as long as we can remember but with modern advancements, it’s become even more effective.

Teeth whitening is among the most popular cosmetic procedures. It is an excellent way to improve one’s appearance by eliminating discoloration and stains on the teeth. Additional benefits of teeth whitening may include improving self-esteem, reducing sensitivity, and preventing cavities.

You should consider the benefits that whitening your teeth can have. You’ll have a more confident smile and they might even improve your oral health.

The World Health Organization has found that teeth bleaching can result in smoother teeth, more confidence, and better oral health. Teeth are created from minerals in food, among them calcium, phosphorus and fluoride. The chemicals found in stains can prevent your teeth from receiving necessary minerals which can lead to tooth decay. Teeth whitening products help remove these stains so that your teeth show whiter and brighter.

Why Teeth Whitening?

As we get older, our teeth tend to darken in color and can develop stains from the foods we eat. It can be extremely difficult to completely remove these stains.

Like stain in the fabric of a white shirt, often you can remove the stain from a tooth with bleach, which goes deeper in the surface and removes the stain. You can find these bleaching products at the store or when you visit us.

The whitening products at the store might not be effective because they use a lower concentration of bleach. If you want to make sure your teeth whiten quickly, we’ll find & provide custom bleaching trays and bleaching agents with a high concentration of bleach that will give you the best results.

New Dental Patient?

What our patients are saying

They took excellent care of my toddler for his very first dentist appt! The hygienist was extremely patient and explained everything was doing which made a nervous toddler feel more at ease! The front desk girl was so sweet and took him back to get a little prize when he was finished! We will definitely be back!
