What is Bleaching or Teeth Whitening?

Teeth whitening, or tooth bleaching, is a cosmetic dentistry procedure designed to remove stains and discoloration, as well as lighten pigmentation within the teeth. Discoloration can be the result of genetics, accidents, medication, poor oral hygiene, aging, smoking, certain foods or a combination of these factors. Stains can be either on the surface of the teeth or within the tooth structure. Dr. Edderai can change all this and give you a "Hollywood" smile within one hour.

Teeth that are discolored from tetracycline or excessive fluoride are not good candidates for bleaching. Whitening techniques can work for tetracycline staining only if the discoloration is mild. If there are banded or layered types of staining, the best that can be expected is simply an overall lightening of the bands of color. Veneers are the best solution for these cases. Once you reach our North Miami Beach dental office, Dr. Edderai will let you know what the best solution for you is.

The Tooth Whitening Procedure

Featuring Rembrandt® One-Hour Smile Teeth Whitening. Rembrandt® is the name synonymous with tooth whitening since 1975. You can choose from several formula strengths to get your teeth up to 10 shades whiter quickly and painlessly.

We begin the tooth whitening process by checking the teeth for cavities into which the tooth bleaching gel could leak, causing serious damage. If cavities are found, they will be repaired before tooth whitening takes place. If no cavities are found, we will begin the whitening process in through the application of a specially-formulated gel. Your teeth can be up to 10 shades whiter in just about one hour. The process is quick and easy, and causes no discomfort. Under the supervision of Dr. Edderai, our whitening treatments are completely safe and will not harm teeth or gums.

Our whitening lasts … permanently! This means you will experience no whitening loss over time if you maintain good home dental care with products like Rembrandt Plus Toothpaste.
