Who Is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?
Although anyone wanting to lighten the shade of their enamel can potentially benefit from professional teeth whitening, that doesn’t mean it is the best way to meet everyone’s unique needs. For example, if your teeth have extrinsic stains that resulted from repeated or prolonged exposure to darkly tinted foods and drinks, they are likely to respond well to topical bleach.
However, intrinsic discoloration that begins in or seeps into the lower layer of dentin might not respond as well to this treatment. Our team will discuss your aesthetic goals and examine your current dental condition to determine the cause of your stains and devise a treatment plan based on our findings.
How Does Teeth Whitening Work?
Teeth whitening products typically contain bleach that undergoes a chemical oxidation reaction when it interacts with pigmented particles clinging to your enamel. This reduces their size and concentration, which is what lightens your smile.
Our team offers two methods so that you can choose the best option for your unique circumstances, which are outlined in more detail below.
Take-Home Teeth Whitening
Unlike store-bought solutions, which often contain diluted bleaches and one-size-fits-all trays that can result in sensitivity or uneven coloration, our office offers professional-grade supplies to help you achieve quality results from the comfort of your home.
For instance, our kits include ultra-concentrated gels and custom-fitted applicators for more comfortable, accurate outcomes. Many patients start to see the desired changes within just 2 weeks of using the products as directed.
In-Office Teeth Whitening
Those who are seeking more immediate results might do better with an in-office procedure. Our team will apply the whitening gel, then accelerate the bleaching process by applying ultraviolet light to your teeth. This treatment can potentially brighten your enamel by several shades in a single hour-long appointment.
Tips for Maintaining Your Brighter Smile
Most patients can expect their results to last anywhere from 6 months to about 3 years, though their longevity can depend on your unique circumstances. You can usually help maintain the perfect hue by:
- Implementing a routine. Brushing and flossing twice daily removes plaque and residue that darkly colored particles can cling to.
- Choose foods carefully. You can prevent additional discoloration by avoiding common culprits known to stain, such as coffee, tea, berries, tomatoes, and wine.
- Schedule touch-ups as needed. You might need periodic retreatments to preserve the perfect shade.
- Keep up with routine exams. Seeing our team every 6 months for a routine checkup and cleaning allows us to monitor your dental condition and polish away more recent surface stains that might have developed.
