Do you want a whiter smile? Teeth whitening is a popular treatment
for discolored teeth. When it comes to teeth whitening, you have two
options; In-office treatments and home treatments. Teeth whitening
should be done right to avoid discomfort and sensitivity.
Both in-office and home treatments use peroxide-based bleaching
agents. You should consult your dentist before starting any teeth
whitening treatments.
In-Office Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening done by your dentist can get your teeth brighter more
quickly. Dentists use stronger bleaching solutions carefully
administered while considering the amount of time the solution is left
on your teeth.
You can expect your teeth to change from three to eight shades.
In-office sessions usually take approximately an hour over several
appointments. Most people are conscious of the cost. We we will create a
treatment plan that suits your budget.
At-Home Teeth Whitening
There are many choices when it comes to home treatments but we
recommend that you get the advice of your dentist before trying out any
of them.
Tooth whitening strips and gels – These are
applied directly to the teeth using a toothbrush on a daily basis. You
may notice results between 4 and 6 months of usage.
Tray-based tooth bleaching systems – This
involves wearing a device that looks like a guard which contains the
whitening product. You wear the tray for a few hours daily for
approximately 4 weeks.
Tooth whitening toothpaste – Normal
toothpaste helps to remove minor stains on your teeth. There are special
kinds of toothpaste designed with higher abrasion to drastically whiten
your teeth. Most whitening toothpastes brighten your teeth by one
shade.
Talk to your dentist before starting any home teeth whitening
treatment to ensure that it’s worth your time and money. If you are
