When our whitening toothpastes just don’t seem to live up to their promises and we really do want that extra-bright smile, it’s time to think about professional teeth whitening with our
East Elmhurst Cosmetic Dentist. Teeth whitening doesn’t have to be for brightening only and many patients have the procedure done to lighten discolored or stained teeth. At Best Care Family Dental we perform dentist-supervised teeth whitening tailored to you to help you achieve your goal. There are several methods to whiten your teeth, such as chemical whitening, mild acid whitening, abrasive teeth brightening, and the newest technique, laser teeth whitening. Dr. Mazhar Alhadid, DDS, will discuss all your options and together, you will decide on the best and most comfortable choice for you. If your newly whitened teeth are taken care of properly, the results can last for many years.

Once you’re comfortable and you know what to expect, our
East Elmhurst Cosmetic Dentist will usually clean your teeth, fill any cavities and make sure your gums are healthy. The majority of our in-office procedures use a hydrogen peroxide paste with a high intensity light to speed up the chemical reaction of the bleach. We have great success with this method and it can actually whiten your teeth four to six shades lighter after only one 40 minute treatment.
Dr. Alhadid can also offer at-home tooth whitening systems which require taking molds of your mouth so we can have soft, custom mouth trays made. We will go over the procedure with you so you’re comfortable doing it at home as this method can also be used for a refresher or simply to give your already bright smile a little sparkle. You just apply a thin ribbon of the chemical gel into the tray and wear it for two hours a day or while you sleep. For most patients, the combination of in-office and at-home systems can actually achieve up to 15 shades of whitening. Your first visit with our
East Elmhurst Cosmetic Dentist will be a consultation to help decide what type of tooth whitening is best for you and what concentration the whitening gels should be. When monitored by our dentist these procedures are considered safe and very effective and we’re confident you will leave smiling.
