Should I consider My Beautiful Smile Cosmetic Teeth Whitening?
Studies have shown that people with whiter teeth look younger and there is a correlation between high self-esteem and a bright, confident smile. My Beautiful Smile Cosmetic Teeth Whitening is a great way to instantly enhance your appearance.
How white will my teeth get?
After undergoing whitening with the My Beautiful Smile Cosmetic Teeth Whitening System, teeth shades will brighten up to 14 shades, with an average improvement of five to eight shades with each 20-minute session. Individual results will depend on your current tooth shade, treatment time, and the composition of your teeth. Your end result will be a whiter, healthier smile. Everyone’s teeth are different and will have a natural stop point. We recommend a 60-minute session for optimal results and to remove all layers of staining.
How long will the whitening last?
This varies from person to person and depends on your diet and lifestyle, but effects approximately 6 months with proper maintenance. Periodic touch-up treatments are recommended for customers who frequently consume such as coffee, tea, dark soda, red wine, tomatoes souse and other staining products such as tobacco.
Is My Beautiful Smile Cosmetic Teeth Whitening safe?
How long does the whitening session take?
Each whitening are three 20 minute session to complete. Start to finish your whitening session will take approximately 75 minutes (including in-take prep and set up). It takes no longer than the time it would for you to have a haircut or a facial – it is that simple!
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MY BEAUTIFUL SMILE COSMETIC TEETH WHITENING AND TEETH WHITENING PERFORMED IN THE DENTAL OFFICE?
The DaVinci Teeth Whitening System uses the same technology used by other teeth whitening providers for in-office whitening and gives you great results. However, our process has been simplified so that you can administer the process yourself using our cosmetic whitening gel specially developed for the use with the LED light. Designed with the comfort and safety of the customer in mind; our process is safe, gentle, and produces superior results over other teeth whitening options.
Does it hurt?
Most clients experience no sensitivity during or after the session. A very small percentage of clients may feel some tooth sensitivity, especially if they are dehydrated or consume very cold/hot foods or drinks within two hours after the whitening session. Any sensitivity is short term and gone within 24-48 hours. We do offer solutions for those that are concerned about sensitivity.
WILL THE COSMETIC TEETH WHITENING WORK ON CROWNS, FILLINGS, VENEERS, AND BRIDGES (COMPOSITE MATERIALS)?
Yes, Cosmetic Teeth Whitening will remove staining from existing dental work and take it back to the original color. Our goal is to clean up the existing dental work and whiten the natural teeth to match for a nice even smile. We cannot whiten them beyond the original color of the material used at the time of placement. If your existing dental work is not in your smile line it won’t matter either way because it is not visible.
What should I do post - whitening treatment?
It is very important NOT to eat or drink for 2 hours after whitening (except water), so if you need to eat, it should be done prior to your appointment.
After the 2 hour period, it is recommended to only eat and drink light or white colored foods or beverages.
It is recommended to avoid eating or drinking any dark colored food or beverages for at least 24 hours.
What should I do to prepare for pre-whitening treatment?
It’s very important to follow these instructions before your visit.
Do not brush your teeth for at least 4 hours prior to whitening. Brushing can cause brush abrasion and lead to gum irritation / blanching. It is always recommended to hydrate with water prior to your appointment to make sure mouth and gums are well hydrated.
What happens during the whitening process of each 20 minute session?
Pores are open for up to 24 hours. It is important for sessions to be completed back to back to ensure the removal of all penetrated staining and lighten the denim later of the tooth in one sitting.
The 1st session is to remove staining from the outer layer of the teeth – Visible results.
The 2nd session is goes deeper into the pores of the enamel to remove the more penetrated staining – Better results.
The 3rd session removes more “intrinsic” staining and reaches beneath the enamel once the pores are open – Maximum results.
What type of teeth whitening gel do you use?
We use a natural, plant and mineral based product. No animal testing, gluten free and vegan. Food grade hydrogen peroxide with No preservatives. Helps kill gingivitis with long lasting effects. Gels are made in the U.S.
Can anyone bleach their teeth so they become “snow-white?”
No. Some people are born with close to snow-white colored teeth, but most have varying shades of yellow, gray, or a combination of both. Cosmetic Teeth Whitening does produce some astounding results, and many will say, “Wow!” after their whitening procedure is completed. The vast majority of My BeautIful Smile clients are extremely pleased with their results.
Which starting teeth shades respond best to teeth whitening?
In general, if your teeth are stained yellow it will be easier to whiten them. Gray teeth are harder to whiten and don’t respond as well as yellow-stained teeth. If one’s genetically determined base teeth color is yellow (that is, not stained yellow), then those teeth will be considerably harder to bleach white.
What will I experience during the whitening process?
You may feel a slight tingling, bubbling or effervescence against your teeth for the first few minutes. This is normal and is the sign that the gel is producing the oxygen that does the work of bleaching.
I have oral piercings or I have braces on my teeth (or a fixed wire retainer). Can I use this teeth whitening process?
If you are in active orthodontic treatment and have bands and/or brackets bonded or cemented to your teeth, please wait until after completion of treatment and all appliances have been removed before commencing any bleaching treatment. A lower tightly bonded lingual (tongue-side) wire retainer that was placed by an orthodontist after regular orthodontic treatment is fine to have in your mouth while bleaching is done.
All oral piercings (tongue, cheeks, lips, or nose) must be removed prior to having any teeth whiting treatments done. If they are not easily removable, we recommend that our employees not sell any whitening products or services to these individuals until the appliances are removed.
I have a temporary crown (or temporary cap, bridge, or veneer) on my teeth. Can I do this process?
No, we recommend that the permanent restorations be placed by the person’s dentist before commencing a whitening program.
I have crowns (caps) or veneers (bonding) on my front teeth. What will this process do to them?
Teeth bleaching will not change any of these restoration’s intrinsic (inside) color, however, it may slightly remove some extrinsic (outside) stains. The procedure will not harm dental restorations. If one’s natural teeth are yellower than the restored teeth, then whitening may bring the natural teeth closer in shade to the restored teeth. If the restored teeth are yellower in color, then bleaching will only make the difference in shade greater between them and their naturally colored counterparts. In this case, one may want to bleach their teeth first, then have the restorations redone by their dentist to match the newly bleached color. This, however, can lead to expensive and extensive dental work, so again, consult a dentist first.
The part of my teeth near the gums isn’t as white as the rest of the teeth even after bleaching. Why is this?
The teeth usually have a seamless whitening transition zone from whiter near the biting surface of the tooth to less white near the gum line. This is normal and is an expected result because the tooth enamel is thinner near the gum line and will show through some of the tooth’s naturally yellower inner dentin layer. It is this slight transition that makes the tooth appear to be more natural and not just a monochrome “Chiclet” of a tooth, which looks very unnatural.
My dentist told me I have gum disease that he hasn’t treated yet. Can I do this?
The condition needs to be treated and under control by a dentist before any teeth bleaching is considered; once under control and with the approval of one’s dentist, teeth whitening could then be done.
Can I do this process if I have open holes (cavities) in my mouth that haven’t yet been filled by my dentist?
Again, the answer to this question is that these individuals need to be seen by their dentist first and have the condition permanently resolved prior to any form of teeth whitening or teeth bleaching.
I have splotchy teeth with mottled tan, brown, and white spots on them, especially the front ones. Will My Beautiful Smile processes repair this?
No, this type of staining is known as fluorosis. It was caused by the uptake into the enamel of excessive amounts of fluoride while the customer’s permanent teeth were forming, again between prenatal to 12 years of age. We recommend that the client seek the advise of their dentist to correct this problem. Cosmetic Teeth Whitening will not help excessively fluorosed teeth.
Will My Beautiful Smile Teeth Whitening treatment fix my tetracycline stained teeth?
Tetracycline stained teeth are caused by the uptake of this antibiotic into the enamel while the tooth is newly forming at the ages of prenatal to 12 years. The staining looks like there are grey to tan “banding” layers in the tooth. This type of intrinsic (inside the tooth) striated (horizontally striped) staining is very difficult to correct with Cosmetic Teeth Whitening. We recommend that the customer see his or her dentist to have this staining treated by more extensive, aggressive teeth bleaching or by covering the staining with the placement of veneers or crowns.
I have small white spots on some of my front teeth. How will bleaching affect these spots?
It is normal that certain areas of a tooth that are decalcified will respond and whiten more rapidly than the surrounding tooth structure. The rest of the tooth eventually catches up with the spots and will become more uniform in color as one continues to bleach.
What causes teeth to discolor or become yellower?
The causes are many. The most common are natural aging and the prolonged consumption of staining agents such as tobacco, coffee, tea, red wine, dark-colored soda, and staining foods like mustard, tomato sauce, or blueberries. A good rule to go by is that if it will stain a white handkerchief or white t-shirt, then it may similarly stain your teeth. Other people may have a different type of staining that occurs when the permanent adult teeth are forming, typically at age prenatal through 12. When children of this age group are exposed to excessive fluoride, tetracycline or other antibiotics, certain embedded and permanent stains or discolored tooth formations may occur. These types of “tooth-formation” stains do not respond well to any form of teeth bleaching. These individuals should consult their dentist for other options, such as bonding, veneers, or crowns.
Do you allow minors (under the age of 18) to get teeth whitening services?
We only accept minors (under the age of 18) accompanied with their parent / guardian.
Do you take Covid-19 Precautions?
Absolutely! It’s our priority to help keep our clients and our staff safe during all visits. Our staff uses masks and disposable gloves. We wipe down all services with medial grade disinfectant cleaner. Most importantly our swabs, application brushes and retractors are all individually packaged and disposable after being opened.
