Who is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?

To set the record straight, you only need decent oral health to get teeth whitening. (The treatment requires little else from would-be patients.) Just note that the whitening process suits some people more than others. If you want to maximize its effects, you should consult us about your candidacy.

The best treatment candidates have extrinsic tooth stains, which come from outside factors like meals or bad habits. Modern teeth whitening can remove such marks with its potent bleaching gel. On the other hand, whiteners don’t work as well for intrinsic stains; these kinds are hard to remove.

How Does Teeth Whitening Work?

Our dentists will perform a thorough oral exam during your consultation. Based on its results, we’ll then suggest one of the following whitening options:

Take-Home Teeth Whitening

If you prefer flexible care, we’ll advise you to get our take-home teeth whitening. Our team provides you with custom trays and Opalescence bleaching gel for this option, used from the comfort of home. Your treatment would just require that you wear the gel-filled trays for two weeks or so. By following this routine for a few hours each day, you’d eventually make your enamel look six, eight, or even ten shades brighter!

In-Office Teeth Whitening

Our in-office teeth whitening suits patients who want quick, safe, and dramatic results. Unlike the take-home method, it’s performed at our practice and only takes an hour or less. Treatment just requires one of our hygienists to apply Zoom! bleaching gel directly to your smile, typically in a few 15-minute intervals. Once the gel is exposed to a special curing light, your smile will look much better within the same day.

Tips for Maintaining Your Brighter Smile

While teeth whitening results aren’t permanent, it’s possible to help them last their full lifespan. All you need to do is the following:

  • Avoid Dark-Colored Meals – As best you can, limit your intake of dark-colored foods and drinks. These items often contain tannins (i.e., stain agents) that can discolor your teeth. Coffee, red wine, berries, and tomato sauce are prominent examples of them.
  • Eat Dairy Products – Due to their calcium and lack of dyes, dairy products can help you maintain treatment results.
  • Practice Good Oral Hygiene – You can prevent new tooth stains by cleaning your smile regularly. Therefore, remember to practice twice-daily brushing, once-daily flossing, and frequent mouth rinses.
  • Consider “Re-Whitening” – Should your bright smile start fading, see your dentist for a follow-up treatment.
