Cosmetic treatments like teeth whitening are ideal if you are interested in revealing a brighter smile in a short period of time. Prior to getting teeth whitening, your dentist will assess your teeth and gums to determine that they are healthy enough for a cosmetic procedure. Then, your dentist will listen to your concerns and goals before making treatment recommendations. Professional teeth whitening can produce fast, impressive results by lightening discoloration that has formed within your natural enamel. Considered an advantage compared to store-bought whitening treatments, your teeth whitening treatment at MINT dentistry will be personalized to match your goals.

Performed in one of our luxurious treatment rooms, in-office teeth whitening at MINT dentistry does not require anesthesia, but in case you have dental anxiety or a sensitive gag reflex, sedation choices may be available. Your teeth have to get cleaned and dried before the procedure so the whitening product can be evenly applied. Then, a protective barrier will be placed over your soft tissues and your eyes will be shielded using special eyewear. A member of our Joliet, IL staff will place a professional-strength gel on your teeth and expose your mouth to our special lamp. The combination of the gel and the light works to decrease the stains on the tooth surfaces. Based on your current enamel color and desirable outcome, this process could be completed 2 – 3 times. Once your procedure is done, the remaining gel and protective gum barrier will be removed before your mouth is rinsed.

Unless sedation was used, you typically should be able to leave following your procedure to return to your usual day. However, you should avoid anything that will stain your teeth (coffee, lipstick, tobacco products) for at least 48 hours following your treatment. You will experience some sensitivity to cold and hot, but this will only last for 3 – 5 days. To keep your results, you need to brush your teeth whenever possible after having staining food and beverages in addition to tobacco products. At home, you need to follow a daily oral hygiene routine, including cleaning and flossing to avoid stains. Professional dental cleanings twice per year at our Joliet, IL dental facility will also help decrease the accumulation of new stains to help keep your teeth looking brilliant. If you want to renew your results in a few years, you may schedule a second professional whitening treatment or ask a MINT dentistry staff member about home teeth whitening options.

Teeth whitening is a cosmetic procedure, so it is not typically covered if you have dental insurance. During your first appointment at our Joliet, IL facility, our staff will discuss your costs and payment options. We are committed to helping you obtain the dazzling smile you have always desired. Ask your dentist about our cosmetic dentistry specials, low-interest financing, or the MINT Discount Plan to make treatments for brightening your smile even more budget-friendly.

When you want results that look amazing and last for years, in-office teeth whitening at MINT dentistry quickly removes years of discoloration. Whether you're interested in seeing a natural result or a dramatic improvement, your team of MINT dentistry professionals will customize your in-office whitening treatment to match your needs and goals.
