Who is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?
Teeth whitening can be an excellent option for almost anyone who feels self-conscious about their tooth color. It might be a good fit for you if:
- The consumption of dark foods and beverages or other habits has stained your teeth.
- Your discoloration is the type that typically responds well to whitening (we can verify this during your consultation).
- Your teeth and gums are healthy enough for cosmetic services.
How Does Teeth Whitening Work?
Teeth whitening products use a powerful bleaching agent — usually hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide — to penetrate the tooth enamel and break up stains. This process can whiten teeth by several shades. Our cosmetic dentists use top-quality Philips Zoom! whitening products, which have a sterling reputation for being both effective and gentle. Depending on your circumstances and preferences, we may suggest an in-office or take-home whitening treatment.
Take-Home Teeth Whitening
Take-home teeth whitening is designed to be easy and convenient and involves the use of customized trays and high-quality whitening gel. You should apply the whitening agent to your teeth using the provided trays for a specific period of time each day for about two weeks. You may start to notice a difference after just a few applications, but final results may take up to 14 days.
In-Office Teeth Whitening
If you want to see results right away, you may qualify for in-office teeth whitening. Our team will apply the concentrated whitening formula to your teeth and activate it with a special light. We may rinse it off and reapply it a few times during your appointment. Within an hour or so, your teeth may become several shades brighter.
Tips for Maintaining Your Brighter Smile
To make your results last and reduce the appearance of new stains, you should:
- Brush your teeth twice daily with fluoride toothpaste.
- Floss every day to remove plaque and maintain your gum health.
- Avoid or minimize foods and drinks that easily stain, such as coffee, tea, red wine, and berries.
- Rinse your mouth with water after consuming stain-causing foods or drinks.
- Schedule regular dental cleanings and checkups.
- Use a straw for beverages that may cause staining.
- Quit smoking or using tobacco products.
- Visit us for whitening touch-ups when necessary.
