Hershey, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/16/2014 -- When dietary habits result in discolored teeth, American Dental Care in Hershey is announcing they have appointments available to provide patients with tooth whitening services this fall 2014 season. A cosmetic procedure, tooth whitening is a non-invasive treatment that effectively enhances the natural look of the teeth, brightening the smile.
There are signs and symptoms that could lead an individual to request a tooth whitening—or bleaching—procedure. When looking into the mirror and noticing yellow stains on the upper enamel, or normal wear to the outer layer, getting the teeth bleached is a popular method to restore the beauty of the smile. The process can take two visits to the dentist in Elizabethtown. Patients will have molds taken in order to customize a set of clear trays, which will be fitted and implemented during the second visit.
Once the trays are fabricated, they will be worn with a special medicated whitening solution that can be worn varying amounts of time depending on the wishes of the patient. They can either be worn overnight or twice per day for stretches of 30 minutes apiece. When having crowns or fillings in the mouth from previous procedures, it is important know that bleaching only works on natural enamel, so patients typically have them replaced to match the color of the newly bleached teeth.
Patients who routinely drink coffee, tea, or wine, and smoke tobacco will need to touch-up their teeth whitening every couple of years. To consult with a dentist near Lebanon about whether tooth whitening would be beneficial to the smile, please contact American Dental Care in Hershey today.
