Our name celebrates Prescott and western Wisconsin’s gorgeous surroundings. And, like the natural beauty that surrounds us, we at Scenic Bluffs Dental celebrate our patients’ stunning smiles. Led by Dr. Jay Feuillerat, our team maintains or enhances the appearance of the teeth with professional whitening methods. These products align with our practice’s basic principles:
One of the ways that we remove stains from the teeth is with peroxide-based whitening gels that may be applied from the comfort and convenience of home. Professional whitening products prescribed by dentists like Dr. Jay contain peroxide ingredients that are scientifically proven to work to break up and remove stains. Additionally, these gels contain sufficient concentrations of these effective ingredients to lighten tooth structure. Alternative treatments, such as OTC products, either do not contain peroxide or adequately-concentrated peroxide. So, that is why these products may be a waste of money. Patients may see little to no difference in the color of their discolored teeth. Also, some products are formulated with a bluish tint. The blue makes teeth appear whiter but does not actually remove stains.
If Dr. Jay determines that your teeth and gums are healthy enough for professional teeth whitening and that the stains or discoloration are responsive to these gels, he will create an oral appliance known as a whitening tray. The whitening tray is designed to fit your mouth. OTC whitening trays are designed to fit “all mouths,” meaning they can slip around. A poor fit can produce uneven results, irritation, and even tissue damage. Our trays fit well for your ultimate comfort and for even, attractive, natural-looking results.
Patients can gradually whiten their teeth by up to nine shades when the trays are filled with the gel and worn as directed by us. After you have achieved your desired level of whitening, we can provide “touch-up” gel during routine hygiene visits to our office. That way, you can keep your teeth looking vibrant. Healthy teeth are also attractive teeth. So, we can discuss hygiene techniques and other services to keep your teeth looking their healthy best.
