People who long for a whiter smile, should consult their dentist about professional whitening. Teeth bleaching provides an effective way for many people to enjoy whiter teeth and can be done either as an in-office procedure or by using a take-home kit available from the dentist. Commercial products cannot offer the same results that these professional grade treatments can.
The dentist will first examine the patient in order to determine if he or she is a suitable candidate for whitening. If the patient has teeth that are stained on a deeper level, restorations in the front, worn enamel, or very sensitive teeth, it may be best to take another approach.
An in-office whitening treatment involves first applying a protective shield or gel to the gums, and next treating every tooth with a bleaching agent that will then be activated using a special blue light. This process takes about an hour and provides quick results, if the patient desires a lighter shade a second treatment will be needed.
Those who prefer the take-home method, will first need to have an impression taken of their mouth which will be used by a dental lab to fabricate a set of whitening trays. When the trays are ready, the dentist will instruct the patient how to use them with the whitening solution. Patients normally apply the trays for at least thirty minutes every day over a course of two weeks.
This approach to whitening offer many benefits to those who decide to go ahead with it. Overall, it restores a person's confidence in his or her appearance, improving their looks and making them even appear younger. It's versatility means that not only can it be easily customized, but it may also be applied in combination with other forms of cosmetic dentistry, and it produces quite dramatic and fast results.
The relatively short treatment time is very appealing to most patients. Those who choose to undergo the in-office approach will often experience teeth that are as many as eight shades whiter in only an hour. Although the at-home system does take longer, it does provide effective whitening and also gives patients the convenience of being able to go about their usual activities at the same time.
This approach is also non-invasive and costs less than many of the other techniques used to improve the appearance of a person's smile such as bridgework, crowns, and veneers. It is also considered safe, although some patients may experience minor irritation following the procedure if they are sensitive to the solution. Professional bleaching is less likely to cause side effects than many of the over the counter products.
The final results of a whitening treatment are influenced by a few factors. It depends on how badly stained the patient's teeth are, what their natural shade is, and the particular method used. Lifestyle habits such as smoking, taking certain medications, and drinking red wine, coffee, or tea, can also cause fading to occur earlier and encourage new stains to form, in which case a second treatment will be necessary.
