Who is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?
Before you can begin any kind of professional cosmetic treatment, you must first complete a consultation with a member of our dental team. We will evaluate the severity of your tooth stains as well as discuss what you hope to accomplish with teeth whitening. After examining your oral health to make sure there are no existing cavities or signs of gum disease, we’ll determine if you prefer in-office or take-home treatment based on your preference and timeline.
How Does Teeth Whitening Work?
One of our skilled cosmetic dentists will go over the details of each type of whitening during your consultation. This will help you better understand how they work so that you can determine how you want to achieve a brighter smile.
Take-Home Teeth Whitening
If you want to enjoy the whitening experience at home, we can provide you with a customized kit you can use. Complete with trays and professional bleaching gel, we will instruct you on how to use them so that you not only safeguard your gums from possible irritation but also see noticeably whiter results in just a few weeks.
In-Practice Teeth Whitening
With the help of the Zoom Whitening system, we can quickly remove stains and discoloration from above and below the surface to deliver beautiful results in about one hour. The high-powered bleaching gel will penetrate the enamel and begin targeting discolored areas so that only a whiter set of teeth is revealed.
Tips for Maintaining Your Brighter Smile
Your reasons for teeth whitening may be that you are preparing for a big event, like a wedding or high school reunion. It may also be that you want to look more professional at work or while searching for a job. No matter your reasons, it’s important that your investment in teeth whitening be worth it, and this means taking proper care of your new smile after achieving your results. To do this, you will need to:
- Develop a solid oral hygiene routine that includes brushing, flossing, and rinsing regularly. Make sure to use fluoride toothpaste to prevent cavities.
- Limit your consumption of dark-colored beverages and foods, as this will only cause more stains in the future.
- Continue to see your dentist at Valer Dental & Braces every six months for checkups and cleanings.
- Give up unhealthy habits that can stain or damage your teeth, such as smoking or eating ice.
- Inquire about touch-ups so that you can keep your teeth looking whiter and more beautiful.
