With so much sunshine, everything is brighter! Your teeth should be no different. Whitening your teeth can get you that dazzling, bright smile you are looking for. Whitening your teeth is also the easiest and least invasive cosmetic form of dentistry that can also make a huge impact on your smile’s appearance. There are over-the-counter options for whitening your teeth, even special toothpastes and toothbrushes, but none of them can achieve the shade difference that professional whitening can achieve. Whitening with your dentist also means there will be some care involved in making sure there are no adverse side effect of increased sensitivity.
Benefits of professional whitening
A brighter smile can make you feel more confident. Professional whitening can remove most stains from your enamel. If the stains have reached past the top layer of your teeth, your dentist can identify this. Deep stains may not be able to be removed. Your dentist can walk you through other cosmetic options such as bonding or porcelain veneers.
What to expect
Your dentist will fit you for custom trays. You will be sent home with a kit of the custom-sized trays and a professional grade whitening gel. Your dentist will provide detailed instructions of when and for how long to wear the gel-filled trays. She will base these instructions off of your whitening goals. You will wear the trays at home typically for about thirty minutes a wear. The length of the treatment typically lasts between one and two weeks.
