Louisville, KY Dentist Dr. Jacqueline Albers Provides At-Home Teeth Whitening Treatments

When regular brushing cannot remove stains from teeth, Louisville, KY dentist Dr. Jacqueline Albers recommends her professional teeth whitening system consisting of a bleaching gel and customized trays that fit precisely over the top and bottom teeth. One of the more convenient and affordable methods to restore the healthy appearance of discolored or yellowed teeth, the tray whitening system requires Dr. Albers make dental impressions used to craft trays that match each tooth's structure and size. Patients are then instructed to apply the whitening gel to the inside of the trays and wear trays each day for a specified amount of time. In a few days, most teeth are up to four or five shades whiter than before treatment.  Another option we offer is a whitening strip system which works well for most patients and is very affordable.

For severe discoloration of teeth due to medications or years of poor oral hygiene that cannot be removed with the tray whitening system, Louisville, KY dentist Dr. Jacqueline Albers may suggest some patients considered "whitening" their teeth with porcelain veneers. Unlike bleaching gel that is washed off teeth enamel after a whitening session is completed, veneers are paper-thin porcelain coverings that are permanently attached to the front of teeth using dental adhesive. Porcelain veneers can also conceal minor defects such as chips and cracks as well as intrinsic stains caused by strong antibiotics like tetracycline.

Bleaching gels provided by Louisville, KY dentist Dr. Jacqueline Albers contain carbamide peroxide, an enamel-friendly chemical comprised of nitrogen, carbon, oxygen and hydrogen molecules. As soon as these molecules encounter stained teeth enamel, they begin dissolving these stains by breaking them apart gradually, eventually leaving teeth free of discolorations. When patients using Dr. Albers' tray whitening system reach the desired shade of teeth enamel, they are then instructed to brush teeth twice daily, use an oral rinse and floss regularly to prevent stains from developing between and on the front of teeth.
