Who is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?
Naturally, dental discoloration is one of the biggest indicators that you’re a candidate for professional teeth whitening. However, there is important information we need to consider, including the condition of your teeth and gums, what’s causing the stains, and how severe they are. Don’t worry – we can cover all of this information during your consultation after conducting a thorough exam and learning more about your lifestyle, including any medications you’re taking. Then, we can determine the best way to bring your dream smile to life.
How Does Teeth Whitening Work?
The process of whitening your teeth will look slightly different depending on if you choose take-home or in-office treatments. Below, we’ve provided an overview of the process as well as the perks of each!
Take-Home Teeth Whitening
Instead of trying to whiten your teeth using some random product from the store, which will likely deliver underwhelming results, we can send you home with your own custom-made GLO kit. This will include mouth trays and a bleaching solution several times stronger than anything you can buy on your own. Just by using the kit for a few minutes a day for about two weeks, you’ll achieve the same dramatic results as our in-office procedure. These kits are excellent for maintaining your new shade for years as well!
In-Office Teeth Whitening
For fast and effective whitening, our dental office offers GLO Whitening. This method combines a potent whitening gel and a special LED light to eliminate deep stains quickly and completely. Unlike other in-office methods, it doesn’t require that we spend a lot of time placing a barrier on your gums to keep them protected, and the gel itself is designed to prevent sensitivity. It’s also notably more affordable compared to other professional treatments, making it an easy addition to most patients’ care plans.
Tips for Maintaining Your Brighter Smile
It’s only natural to want your teeth to stay pearly white as long as possible. One of the best ways to accomplish this goal is by being proactive. We recommend:
- Brushing your teeth after each meal.
- Flossing daily.
- Avoiding dark-colored foods and drinks.
- Using a straw when drinking coffee, wine, and soda.
- Getting a checkup and cleaning every six months.
- Not smoking.
- Getting touch-up whitening treatments as needed.
The Importance of Teeth Whitening Before Tooth Replacement
Patients are often confused when we recommend having their teeth whitened before we replace any missing ones. Why would someone want to whiten an incomplete smile? This is to ensure that a patient’s final restorations and natural teeth end up the same color. Placing implants or a denture before whitening the teeth is an easy way to end up with a multicolored grin, and no one wants that! After helping a patient achieve beautifully white teeth, we can then match their new teeth to deliver a fantastic final result.
