Who is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?
Nearly every person who’s struggling with discoloration or dental stains could be eligible for professional teeth whitening. However, we’ll need to evaluate your smile to determine if you’re healthy enough to proceed with the treatment, as underlying issues such as decay, cavities, and infections can be disastrous to your oral health if left unchecked beforehand. Once we’ve confirmed that you’re free of any complications or have addressed any present, we can begin developing your personalized treatment plan to help you achieve a brighter smile.
How Does Teeth Whitening Work?
During your first visit, our team will discuss your two options for teeth whitening. Both methods offer incredibly effective results, but there are certain differences you may want to consider before moving forward.
Take-Home Teeth Whitening
Are you more interested in brightening your grin at your convenience? If so, then Zoom! at-home teeth whitening kits might be your ideal option. Each tray is customized to fit your specific smile and you’ll be provided with professional-grade bleaching gel for optimal results. You’ll simply fill the tray with whitening gel, wear the tray for a certain period every day, and then you should expect your teeth to be several shades brighter after about two weeks!
In-Office Teeth Whitening
Do you have a particular deadline you have to meet, such as a wedding or some other event? For those who wish to brighten their teeth more quickly, in-office Zoom! whitening might be the best choice. While you relax, the whitening gel will be applied to the front of your teeth. This material contains hydrogen peroxide that gently penetrates the teeth to eliminate stains and discolorations. A special, low-heat lamp is then used to activate the Zoom! teeth whitening gel, which quickly and painlessly lifts the stains from your teeth. The gel is applied in three 20-minute applications to achieve optimal results.
Tips for Maintaining Your Brighter Smile
After you’ve successfully blasted away any stains or discoloration from your teeth, you’ll want to practice proper measures to preserve the dazzling outcome. This can easily be managed by following these tips:
- Avoid overindulging in dark-colored foods and drinks (like coffee, tea, and blueberries)
- Brush, floss, and rinse with mouthwash regularly every day
- Refrain from poor oral habits like biting your nails and smoking tobacco
- Ask about at-home touch-ups to help keep your bright smile
- Schedule routine dental checkups and cleanings to maintain your results and oral health
