Tooth Whitening in Facial Aesthetics
Article Summary: Improvement in the color of one's teeth is a natural companion to many aesthetic facial treatments and surgery. Being able to achieve several shades of tooth whitening in the office in one hour without mouth sensitivity is now possible.
One of the most sought after and easily visible beauty treatments is cosmetic tooth whitening. A great smile with white teeth is one of the most powerful contributors to a pleasing and more youthful face
Until recently, tooth whitening has only been primarily available at a dentist's office or through over-the-counter dental strips or whitening pens. Many rapid tooth whitening systems have caused pain and sensitivity or the traditional trays and goop methid is both messy and inconvenient to wear. Whitening strips, obtained in any drugstore, are effective but the process is slow and must be done daily for some time.
A revolutionary approach to tooth whitening is a system that in one hour can increase the color of your teeth from 3 to 8 shades....and is not associated with teeth or gum sensitivity.! Using a special blend of hydrogen peroxide and silicone dioxide with a blue light accelerator, the system oxidizes pigments of your front upper and lower teeth restoring them to a more beautiful whiter color. All without heat, mouth sensitivity, or UV light exposure.This whitening approach is particularly effective for teeth stained by smoking or substances like coffee or tea. Teeth with tetracycline or other antibiotic stains, teeth speckled with fluoride, or teeth with hereditary discoloration will also show good improvement. Teeth with existing cavities or cracks should not undergo whitening. Teeth with existing dental restorations such as crowns or veneers will not respond to this whitening treatment as it is effective only on natural, live teeth.
As both a physician and dentist, I have been reluctant to bring tooth whitening into my plastic surgery and spa practice. I had some apprehension about whether aestheticians, whose expertise is with the skin, would feel comfortable with working in the mouth area. In addition, I was concerned about teeth and gum sensitivities that typically occur with rapid teeth whitening systems. However, the simplicity and safety of cold light acceleration and its low risk of tooth or gum sensitivity make this new variation of in-office hydrogen peroxide trteatment very appealing. It is a perfect complement to the many aesthetic office applications which we currently do. It can also be easily combined with other aesthetic treatments whether it be microdermabrasion, Botox, injectable fillers, pulsed light therapies, or laser skin treatments. For example, an obvious dual benefit situation is combining tooth whitening with lip augmentation. It can literally be combined with just about any aesthetic or spa treatment. It also helps brings closer the concept of a 'one-stop' beauty service location.
