Professional teeth whitening is a cosmetic dentistry treatment that we use to whiten teeth up to several shades. It can remove both intrinsic as well as extrinsic staining. As a result, years of staining can easily be removed from your teeth. This is different than the teeth whitening kits you buy at the store because professional teeth whitening kits are prescribed by your dentist. The bleaching solution contains a higher concentration of bleach than what is typically sold over the counter. This allows us to achieve better results for your teeth. Our dentist in Florham Park will make sure that the teeth whitening results you achieve are the exact ones you desire. We achieve your desired results by giving you the correct bleaching solution for your smile. For professional results that last, visit your Florham Park dentist for professional teeth whitening.
Most patients are a good candidate for professional teeth whitening as long as they have healthy teeth and gums. Before your treatment, our dentist will first verify that your smile is healthy by doing a visual examination as well as taking x-rays depending on when your last dental exam was. If you have dental veneers, crowns, inlays, and onlays or other restorations, we will also need to make sure that they are not in the front of your mouth. This is because dental restorations do not respond to whitening treatments as they are not porous. Therefore, if we whiten your smile, your teeth with the restorations will not whiten, leaving your smile an uneven color. If your restorations are not white enough, we will have to replace them in order for your smile to be even. If you meet these requirements, however, our dentist will conclude that you are a good candidate for professional teeth whitening in Florham Park.
When you decide to whiten your teeth, you will have the option of either whitening your teeth in our office, or using a take-home kit to use at your convenience. The in-office option is ideal for patients who want immediate results and would prefer not to stretch their treatment out over a few weeks. The in-office whitening treatment will first begin with Dr. Gohard taking impressions of your teeth using our iTero scanner to be sent off to the lab where your custom-made whitening trays will be made. Once they have returned from the lab, we can give you your whitening treatment. We will fill up the tray with the bleaching solution and then place it in your mouth. The custom-made tray will ensure that your teeth whiten evenly and that no bleach finds its way onto your gums.
You will sit with the trays in your mouth for about an hour in front of a special light that activates the bleaching solution. After the hour is up, you can expect for your teeth to be shades lighter. If you want them to be any lighter, you can schedule an additional tooth whitening appointment or use a take-home kit. In just an hour, your smile can look completely different! What are you waiting for?

Whether you already have missing teeth or you are visiting our dental office and find out that dentures might be a good option for you, every patient may experience a different type of preparation for dentures. First, Dr. Gohard will examine your mouth to see if you need to have any additional teeth pulled before beginning the dentures procedure. If you have only a few remaining teeth and their future doesn’t look promising, we might recommend having them pulled.
Once Dr. Gohard has declared you a good candidate for dentures, she will provide you with a pair of temporary dentures to wear until your permanent ones arrive from the lab. If you recently had teeth pulled, we will need to wait until your gums completely heal to take impressions for your permanent dentures. While you wait for your permanent pair to return from the lab, you will wear temporary dentures which will help you get used to the feeling of wearing them daily. Once your gums are healed from any extractions you had, our dentist in Florham Park will take impressions of your gums.
When your permanent pair of dentures return from the lab, Dr. Gohard will have you try them on to confirm that they fit correctly. If necessary, she will make adjustments so they fit more comfortably. Once the fit is right, you can be on your way.
