Who is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?
Knowing whether you’re a good candidate for teeth whitening requires meeting with one of our dentists for a complete consultation. This visit includes digital imaging and a visual examination to determine the severity of your stains, and which method of treatment is right for you.
After evaluating your smile, we will decide if additional dental care is required, especially if we find any cavities or signs of gum disease, as these will need to be addressed first. From there, we will clear you for whitening so that we can enhance the visual components of your smile.
How Does Teeth Whitening Work?
Our dentists will explain how teeth whitening works during your initial consultation. In-office and take-home whitening work differently, so you can expect us to go through the steps with you beforehand, so you know how to prepare.
Take-Home Teeth Whitening
If you decide that whitening your teeth at home sounds like a better plan, you can expect us to provide you with a custom-made kit that includes whitening trays and professional-grade bleaching gel. The trays are crafted from impressions taken of your teeth. When used as instructed, you will fill the trays with the gel and wear them for a specified amount of time. After a few weeks, you should see a noticeable change in the color of your teeth.
In-Office Teeth Whitening
If you prefer to let our professionals take care of your whitening experience, you can opt for in-office teeth whitening. We will apply the bleaching gel to your teeth before using a specialized light that activates the solution and causes it to penetrate the enamel, removing intrinsic, extrinsic, and age-related stains. In just one hour, you’ll appreciate the brighter, whiter results you’ll see.
Tips for Maintaining Your Brighter Smile
After undergoing professional teeth whitening, you’ll want to make sure that you do everything you can to keep your results lasting as long as possible. To do this, you can:
- Reduce your exposure to dark-colored beverages and foods, like coffee, soda, tea, red wine, soy sauce, curry, berries, etc.
- Give up unhealthy habits that are known to stain teeth, such as smoking and tobacco use.
- Continue to maintain your regular six-month dental checkups and cleanings with our team.
- Practice good oral hygiene at home by brushing twice daily, flossing at least once, and rinsing regularly.
- Ask one of our dentists about ways to touch up your smile should you notice stains forming over time.
