Am I a Candidate for Teeth Whitening?

Am I a Candidate for Teeth Whitening?

 

 

candidate for teeth whiteningDr. Norkiewicz and associates of Rockville Dental Arts in Rockville, MD want our patients to discover if they are a good candidate for teeth whitening. As one of the most conservative and cost-effective means of improving the looks of the smile, it is something that can also be the finishing touch on a smile makeover too. Naturally, as your dentist in Rockville, MD, we also consider teeth whitening as something of a reward to yourself when you practice optimal oral hygiene.

 

If you are interested in tooth whitening, the first step is to book a visit with us to discuss your cosmetic dentistry concerns. We will first review the overall health of the teeth and gums, ensuring you will not require general or restorative care to get your mouth into its best condition. Then, as your cosmetic dentist, we can review whether you are a good candidate for teeth whitening or another treatment.

 

The patient who is a strong candidate for teeth whitening is:

 

  • Someone with good overall oral health
  • Someone without deep-set staining like tetracycline staining that is “intrinsic” rather than at the surface of the tooth
  • Someone who is willing to consider lifestyle changes to reduce the amount of staining to the teeth in the future
  • Someone who will be willing to use a single in-office visit or specialize products for at-home whitening

 

As you can see, almost anyone is a good candidate for teeth whitening. We use two approaches – an in-office system known as Zoom! Whitening that can lighten the teeth by many degrees in a very short period (usually less than an hour) and an at-home system that requires customized dental trays that you can fill with the special compound to whiten in complete privacy at home.

 

We should also add that a good candidate for such treatment is someone who hesitates to show off their healthy smile because of discolored or yellowed teeth. This has some serious effects on your overall sense of confidence and happiness. A single office visit can whiten the teeth and allow you to smile without any self-consciousness or negative thoughts, and that means it improves your quality of life!

When I first moved to the area some six plus years ago I stumbled on this gem. All the staff are very accommodating and polite and they truly care about their patients. From the dentist to the dental hygienist they always try their best to help you and education you on dental care. Really could not ask for a better place! If you are in need of dentist this is the place to go.

Hands down the best dentist and dental office that I've visited. The warm and genuine hospitality that April and the entire front desk staff exhibits is unparalleled. Beyond that, once you are seated in the new and sparkling clean dental chair, you immediately know that you are in good hands. Dr. Norkiewicz and his team have provided me with world class dental care for nearly a decade. From routine cleanings to dental implants, they do it all. Go to Rockville Dental Arts if you want something to smile about. You'll be glad that you did.

amazing experience! I had developed severe anxiety around going to the dentist after a bad experience. I found this place after seeing so many great reviews and can definitely see why that is. They made me feel so at ease and informed. I really appreciated their solution-oriented approach. Highly recommend.

I had such a wonderful experience as a new patient at this location. My hygienist (Jackie), was nothing less than phenomenal with my oral care and maintenance. She was very thorough in explaining my care plan, she was extremely personable and genuine which is very important to me. The physicians and staff were all extremely inviting, and impressed upon me that my dental care was their number one priority. I would definitely recommend this location and their team to all!
