Who is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?
Although potentially anyone who’s not happy with the color of their teeth can benefit from whitening them, that doesn’t mean it’s the best solution for every circumstance. Before you can proceed, you must schedule a consultation with one of our dentists to ensure that you’re a good candidate. We’ll examine your mouth to ensure there are not pre-existing issues that need to be addressed, like cavities or gum disease. Then, we’ll verify that your dental discoloration exists in the enamel and can be bleached away. If you’re dealing with intrinsic staining, we might recommend a different solution, like porcelain veneers or dental bonding, to address them.
How Does Teeth Whitening Work?
Although many commercially available products claim to be able to lighten your smile, they also frequently results in tooth sensitivity. Furthermore, there’s no guarantee that you’ll ever achieve the shade you’re aiming for.
Our providers have access to professional-grade bleaches that are specifically formulated to minimize potential discomfort while delivering top-quality results. We offer two types of services so that you can choose the method that works best for your unique circumstances, as outlined below:
Take-Home Teeth Whitening
We are happy to send you home with everything you’ll need to effectively brighten your grin from the comfort of your own home. These kits include high-quality bleaches and custom-fitted trays for accurate applications and optimal outcomes.
In-Office Teeth Whitening
This solution is ideal if you have an upcoming occasion and want to look your best, such as a wedding, family reunion, graduation, job interview, etc. We’ll apply ultra-strength bleach and use ultraviolet light to speed up the whitening process. We can use this technique to lift your teeth by several shades in an hour-long appointment.
Tips for Maintaining Your Brighter Smile
The results of professional teeth whitening can last anywhere from six months to three years, depending on how well you take care of your teeth. Once you’re happy with their color, you can maintain it by:
- Brush and floss thoroughly twice daily to remove any bacteria or plaque buildup that dark ingredients can cling to.
- Schedule touch-ups as needed to preserve the perfect hue.
- Eat more white dairy products, like yogurt and milk, while minimizing exposure to darkly pigmented foods like berries, tea, and coffee.
- Keep up with routine checkups and cleanings every six months to strengthen your enamel and polish away minor surface stains.
