Plano Dentist Denton Wiginton’s office started doing tooth whitening 20 years ago. The history of tooth whitening began as a secondary result that a gum specialist noted when he had made special custom trays to help his patients with their gum tissue problems. Different types of basically peroxide (H2O2) solutions and gels were used. Thegum tissue improved as the teeth become whiter!
At Dr. Wiginton’s, Opalescence brand whitening products are used exclusively. Opalescence received the first American Dental Association’s approval for their solutions to be safely used specifically for tooth whitening. The current product has an addition desensitizer in the chemistry which makes it one of the best overall ways to achieve whiter teeth without the sensitivity often associated with the one appointment whitening treatments.
- Safe, does not harm teeth
- Economical, less than ¼ cost of single crown
- Predictable, 2 to 3 shades whiter in days
Plano Dentist Denton Wiginton, DDS has excellent results with the Opalescence gel product utilized in custom upper and lower trays. His staff is helpful in training patients how to easily use the trays. The big difference between a one-time whitening treatment (i.e., in a made kiosk) and the Opalescence system is the patient can repeatedly use the system to achieve the degree of whitening they desire. Also, because the Opalescence solutions dispensed by Dr. Wiginton is more patient/tooth-friendly, the degree of tooth sensitivity is significantly less.
Tooth whitening works (makes the teeth appear whiter) by bleaching out tooth stains, NOT by superficially coloring the teeth whiter. Other factors to consider in choosing Dr. Wiginton’s office for your tooth whitening needs are:
- The custom tray system allows the patient to maintain the degree of whiteness WITHOUT returning to the office
- There is an internet special $100.00 savings coupon available at drwiginton.com
