Teeth Whitening

Is your smile not quite as brilliant as you would like? Before you go to the grocery store to buy a whitening kit, call Dr. Robert A. Cederberg to talk about his professional whitening services.

At-home whitening strips and gels will not provide the type of results that most patients are looking for. These kits leave the patient frustrated with the long treatment time and minimal results, never understanding why.

Over-the-counter whitening kits are not strong enough to affect any major whitening. Hydrogen peroxide is the activating agent in the whitening solution, and the solutions available to the general public are not as strong as the professional solutions that dentists use. The professional strength requires expert supervision to prevent damage to tooth enamel.

At Cederberg Dental, professional whitening can be done in the office in less time than the over-the-counter kits need and will provide up to 10 times more whitening.

Be wary of toothpaste that advertises tooth whitening features. If it contains hydrogen peroxide, not only will the strength of the hydrogen peroxide not be high enough, but the paste will not remain on the teeth long enough to make any big difference.
