Who Is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?
Most people who are dissatisfied with the color of their teeth are good candidates for teeth whitening. Whether your stains are from foods and beverages, tobacco use, or other sources, we may be able to help you significantly brighten your smile. First, though, we will make sure that your teeth and gums are healthy enough for cosmetic treatment. We will also verify that your specific type of dental discoloration is one that tends to respond well to teeth whitening formulas.
How Does Teeth Whitening Work?
Teeth whitening formulas use a type of peroxide — either carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide — to penetrate the tooth enamel and break up unwanted pigment molecules. There are quite a few different companies that make teeth whitening products. In our-office, we use high-quality systems that have a strong track record of success. For example, we offer Rembrandt products for at-home whitening. Our in-office treatments also use reliable and proven formulas.
Take-Home Teeth Whitening
If you would like to brighten your teeth in the comfort of your own home, we will provide you with a custom kit. All you have to do is use it as directed, which usually involves applying the product to your teeth for a specified period of time each day. You may notice a difference in your teeth very quickly, but ultimate results usually take about two weeks.
In-Office Teeth Whitening
If you wish to brighten your teeth as quickly as possible, we may recommend an in-office treatment. Our team will protect your soft oral tissues and then apply a powerful whitening formula to your teeth. After it sits there for a time, we will rinse it off. Within about one hour or so, your teeth may become several shades brighter!
Tips for Maintaining Your Brighter Smile
Here are some steps you can take to maintain the results of your whitening treatment:
- Be mindful of what you eat. For the first 48 hours after an in-office treatment, you should stick to a “white diet,” meaning that you should eat only white or minimally pigmented foods. Thereafter, it is good to minimize your intake of highly pigmented items.
- Stick to a thorough oral hygiene routine. Brushing and flossing can reduce new surface stains. You should also attend regular dental cleanings.
- Undergo periodic whitening touch-ups. If you notice that your teeth are developing new stains, ask us about undergoing additional whitening treatments.
