Teeth whitening
Tooth yellowing is a common but often embarrassing phenomenon. The loss of whiteness and brightness can cause dissatisfaction for sufferers. In many cases, however, it is possible to correct this defect and restore the lustre of the smile. To do so, the team at Centre dentaire Taschereau in Brossard offers you two teeth whitening options: home bleaching and chairside bleaching.
When should I have my teeth whitened?
As the name suggests, whitening aims to restore whiteness to teeth that have lost their lustre. This type of treatment is designed to counteract the yellowing of teeth, a common phenomenon that often results from the accumulation of brownish stains that mask the natural lustre of enamel. Whitening treatments are designed to dissolve these residues from tobacco and dark foods and beverages (berries, red wine, coffee, black tea, etc.). Yellowing can also be due to thinning of the enamel, which no longer completely conceals the yellow color of the dentin (the solid part of the tooth). Unfortunately, this phenomenon is irreversible.
Chair bleaching: a quick and effective option
One of the professional treatments available is chair whitening. The procedure is simple, and results can be seen quickly, after one or two 30- to 60-minute appointments. During the visit(s), the dentist determines the treatment parameters based on your needs and desired results. The hygienist then applies the product to previously dried teeth and activates its properties with a special lamp. In-house touch-ups using customized trays are sometimes necessary to refine the effects.

Why have professional teeth whitening?
The range of teeth whitening treatments on offer is extensive and varied. Many of them are available at affordable prices in pharmacies or on the Internet. Professional options are preferable, however, as they deliver better results and are much safer for your teeth. The effects of commonly available treatments are often unsatisfactory and short-lived, requiring repeated use. Over the long term, the products used can damage enamel, leading to an adverse reaction.
