Who is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?
Teeth chew through a lot of material over decades of use, and years of exposure to darkly colored foods and drinks like coffee, tea, red wine, berries, and colorful candies can cause pigments and dyes to become stuck in your enamel. This results in stains that are intrinsic, or located beneath the enamel, or extrinsic, meaning they are located on its surface. Luckily, almost anyone with healthy gums and teeth can be a great candidate for teeth whitening, which can help them feel more confident in professional and social settings.
How Does Teeth Whitening Work?
Each of our professional teeth whitening treatments is customized to meet the patient’s unique needs and preferences, and they come in the form of a take-home kit or an in-office procedure.
Take-Home Teeth Whitening
Many people prefer the convenience of whitening their teeth at home, and our take-home whitening kits allow them to do that using a tube of professional-grade whitening gel and a set of customized dental trays. All you’ll need to do is place the gel inside the trays and wear them over your teeth for about an hour every day for two weeks. You can expect to see remarkable results far superior to those of any whitening product you can buy at the store.
In-Office Teeth Whitening
Many patients wish to achieve a whiter smile quickly so they can look their best at an upcoming special event, and our in-office teeth whitening treatments can be completed in about an hour. After placing barriers in your mouth to protect your soft tissues, Dr. Dhaliwal will apply a few coats of whitening agent to your teeth before treating them with a special light. You’ll leave the office shortly afterward with a significantly brighter smile.
Tips for Maintaining Your Brighter Smile
After investing time and effort into teeth whitening, you’ll undoubtedly want to do what you can to maintain your results. While you’re welcome to come in for touch-ups if needed, you can keep your teeth whiter longer by eating plenty of white dairy products that are rich in calcium and vitamin D while avoiding foods and beverages that are heavy with stain-causing pigments and dyes. It’s also crucial to practice excellent oral hygiene while coming to our office every six months for routine exams and cleanings.
