Teeth whitening offers you the opportunity to gain that bright smile
you’ve always dreamed of. This procedure can help improve upon
such conditions as coffee-stained teeth, cigarette and tobacco discolorations.
Teeth whitening procedures can even improve upon yellowing in teeth
that result from aging.
There are two options to whitening your teeth, both of which provide
equal results:
The first is in-office whitening, a procedure that can be accomplished
with just one visit to the dentist. During this visit, a whitening
gel is applied to the teeth, and the whitening process is accelerated
with the use of heat, a special light, or laser light.
The other option is at-home whitening. During this procedure, patients
wear a custom-fitted mouth tray containing a whitening gel for a few
hours each day or night for one to two weeks. This option is more
cost-efficient and requires less time at the dentist’s office.
However patients must be willing to follow the tooth whitening program
to gain the desired results.
To maintain a bright white smile, patients need to follow good oral
hygiene practices. This includes avoiding consumption of teeth staining
products, or brushing or rinsing immediately after consuming such
products.
