Teeth Whitening

When it comes to having whiter, brighter teeth, Dr. Sood and his staff have found remarkable success with their at-home whitening system, Discus Dental. In today's world of fast foods and fast-paced lives, everyone wants everything to be done in an instant. This is where the craze for one-hour, in-office teeth whitening started. However, there are pitfalls to having express teeth whitening done on your smile. The results are not nearly as strong, are more expensive than alternative in-home options, and require you to be physically present at the dentist's office for about an hour in order to see results. Dr. Sood and his staff recommend Discus Dental. With the Discus Dental teeth whitening system, you will visit the office to have models of your upper and lower jaw made in order to create a whitening tray that fits your teeth, similar to a clear mouth guard used for sports. At home, you will use this tray to put a whitening gel in the mouth guard where you want your teeth to be whitened, and will wear it for approximately an hour or two a day. (Faster results can be seen for those who do two treatments a day - recommended one in the morning while getting ready for the day, and again at night after dinner.) Results can typically be seen within the first two weeks, with full results around four.

The downfall to this form of teeth whitening is that there is a possibility for increased tooth sensitivity. Many individuals find that their teeth are more sensitive during treatment, in which it is recommended that they skip a treatment to help ease any discomfort. Another option is pairing the treatments with a desensitizing gel that can help with sensitivity issues.

Teeth whitening at home with Discus Dental have produced far more satisfying, long-term results for Dr. Sood's clients, which is why he continues to use this state-of-the-art whitening technology to bring a healthy smile to his patients!
