Who Is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?
When you visit us for a consultation, we will examine your teeth and let you know whether professional whitening is a good option for you. It is a suitable choice for most adults who are unhappy with the color of their teeth. It is effective on both extrinsic (on the surface of the enamel) and intrinsic (inside the enamel) stains. It may be the perfect treatment to help you feel more confident in your appearance!
How Does Teeth Whitening Work?
Teeth whitening formulas contain an active ingredient, usually a type of peroxide, that penetrates the tooth enamel and breaks up unwanted pigment molecules. Professional options are especially effective because they are highly concentrated and can be customized to accommodate the preferences and needs of a variety of patients.
In our practice, we proudly offer Zoom! teeth whitening services. You may choose either in-office whitening or a take-home kit.
Take-Home Teeth Whitening
With take-home teeth whitening, we provide you with a custom kit that you can use in the comfort of your own space. All you have to do is use the provided materials as directed, and you may start to notice results within a few days (final results usually take about two weeks).
In-Office Teeth Whitening
An in-office treatment is the fastest way to whiten teeth; it usually takes just one hour or so. All you have to do is relax while we apply the formula and activate it with a special light. When the treatment is finished, your teeth may be several shades brighter than when it began!
Tips for Maintaining Your Brighter Smile
Teeth whitening is not permanent, but you can make your results last as long as possible by taking some simple steps:
- Do not smoke or chew tobacco.
- Minimize your intake of highly pigmented foods and beverages.
- Consume white dairy products to keep your teeth bright and healthy.
- Stick to a thorough oral hygiene routine. (You can use a whitening toothpaste to minimize new surface stains.)
- Visit us for regular cleanings and checkups.
- Periodically perform touch-up whitening treatments.
