Who is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?
Teeth whitening is used to address various forms of dental discoloration. That said, it works better on some types of tooth stains than others. Our team will need to take a close look at your teeth and figure out what caused the discoloration; this will allow us to determine whether teeth whitening might be an effective solution in your case. We’ll also need to confirm that your teeth and gums are currently in good enough condition for cosmetic dentistry.
How Does Teeth Whitening Work?
Professional teeth whitening can be performed in the comfort of your own home or at our office. Here’s a brief summary of these two approaches:
Take-Home Teeth Whitening
Our team can provide you with a take-home whitening kit that includes personalized whitening trays and whitening gel. You’ll be told to fill the trays with the gel and wear them for a certain amount of time each day. You should start seeing dazzling results after about two weeks of using this whitening method.
In-Office Teeth Whitening
In-office teeth whitening involves applying an ultra-strong bleaching gel to your teeth so that it can get rid of the stains that are bothering you. The treatment can take as little as one hour and can help brighten your grin by several shades. This approach is generally recommended if you want to whiten your smile for an event in the near future.
Tips for Maintaining Your Brighter Smile
After you’ve enhanced your grin with teeth whitening, it will be up to you to maintain the results for as long as possible. Here are some of the steps you can follow to keep your smile looking beautiful.
- Cut down on coffee, red wine, and any other beverages that could leave stains on your teeth. (You should also be wary of dark-colored foods such as blueberries and tomato sauce.)
- Brush your teeth thoroughly twice a day for two minutes at a time.
- Keep your smile in overall good condition by visiting your dentist once every six months for a checkup and cleaning.
- Ask your dental team about having touchups performed so that you can keep your teeth looking their best.
