Cosmetic dentistry in Laurel, MD can give you the whiter smile you desire in no time at all. Dr. Kalambayi Kabasela offers professional, high-grade solutions for home whitening or in-office dentist whitening that surpass the strips and pastes you see in drug stores, which don't contain the same amount of Carbamide peroxide needed to whiten teeth. Over-the-counter home whitening products only contain between 10 to 20 percent while dentist whitening solutions contain 15 to 43 percent carbamide peroxide.
1. Dentist Whitening in-OfficeThis non-invasive procedure takes about one hour to achieve a bright, white smile. The bleaching agent is applied to your teeth and a laser light is used to hasten the whitening process. Unlike store-bought whiteners, which can be messy and irritate your gums, dentist whitening procedures include precautions to guard your gum tissue with a protective, rubber covering.
2. Dentist Home WhiteningThis procedure requires two office visits. During your first visit, impressions of your teeth are made so we can make customized whitening trays for you to take home. You will wear the trays for the recommended amount of time, usually several minutes a day until you achieve your desired result. Cosmetic dentistry whitening trays fit better than store-bought trays, because they are made just for you. No drips or leaks and no streaks.
