Teeth Whitening: Brighten Your Smile
One of the most popular services we offer is teeth whitening, which can significantly enhance your smile’s appearance. At Soundview Dental Arts, we provide both in-office and take-home whitening options tailored to fit your lifestyle:
In-Office Whitening
This procedure can lighten your teeth by up to eight shades in just one hour. Using a high-intensity light or laser combined with a peroxide-based gel (ranging from 15% to 35% carbamide peroxide), our professional team ensures safe and effective results. In-office whitening is ideal for those looking for immediate results before an event or special occasion.
Take-Home Whitening Kits
For those who prefer to whiten their teeth at home, we offer custom-fit trays that allow you to apply the same whitening gel used in-office. While this method may take up to two weeks for optimal results, it provides flexibility and convenience. You can wear the trays while sleeping or during your daily routine.
Safety and Efficacy
Both options are safe when supervised by our dental professionals, allowing you to achieve a brighter smile without compromising your oral health. We ensure that all patients are informed about potential sensitivity issues and how to manage them effectively.
Wisdom Teeth Removal: Essential Care for Young Adults
Wisdom teeth removal is a common procedure that many young adults face. At Soundview Dental Arts, we provide expert care for both simple extractions and more complex oral surgery:
Why Remove Wisdom Teeth?
Wisdom teeth often become impacted or misaligned due to lack of space in the jaw. This can lead to pain, infection, or damage to adjacent teeth. Our knowledgeable team assesses each patient’s situation carefully before recommending extraction.
- Signs You May Need Extraction: If you’re experiencing pain in the back of your mouth, swelling around your gums, or difficulty opening your jaw, these could be signs that your wisdom teeth need attention.
The Procedure
Our experienced dentist performs wisdom tooth extractions in-office using gentle techniques. For more complicated cases, we collaborate with an oral surgeon who visits our practice regularly. The process includes numbing the area and using sedation if needed, ensuring a comfortable experience.
- What to Expect: The extraction procedure typically takes less than an hour. Afterward, patients may experience some swelling and discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed pain relief medications.
Post-Operative Care
After the extraction, our team will provide detailed instructions on recovery and any necessary follow-up care. We also discuss restorative options like dental implants or bridges if needed.
- Recovery Tips: Rest is crucial after surgery; avoid strenuous activities for at least 48 hours. Stick to soft foods and stay hydrated while avoiding straws or anything that could dislodge blood clots.
