Who is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?
If you’re not satisfied with the color of your smile when you see your reflection, teeth whitening can potentially benefit you. However, it’s not always the best solution to get the desired results, so you must schedule a consultation with Dr. Makwana to ensure you’re a good candidate.
You may be surprised to learn that there’s more than one type of tooth discoloration. Extrinsic stains exist on the outermost layer of enamel and can be cleared away with topical treatments. If you have blemishes in the deeper layers of dentin, though, then you have intrinsic stains that can’t be effectively addressed with whitening. You might require a different procedure, like dental bonding or veneers, to mask these kinds of imperfections instead.
How Does Take-Home Teeth Whitening Work?
You might worry that take-home kits won’t achieve your ideal shade, especially if you’ve tried over-the-counter options without success. The truth is that commercially available products often contain bleaching ingredients that are less effective and often cause sensitivity if they’re overly abrasive or aren’t applied correctly.
Take-home teeth whitening kits are a simple and effective way to lighten your grin from the comfort of your living room. Our team can provide you with all the supplies you need to achieve a noticeably brighter grin in just a couple of weeks. We use the Opalescence professional whitening system and include customized trays that fit your mouth like a glove. These high-quality materials increase the accuracy of your application for better results while minimizing potential sensitivity and discomfort.
Tips for Maintaining Your Brighter Smile
Your results can last for several months to years, depending on how well you care for your teeth. You can keep the lighter hue longer by:
- Avoid dark foods and drinks. Coffee, tea, sodas, red wine, berries, and other culprits can darken your teeth again. You might want to minimize your consumption to maintain your results.
- Clean your teeth consistently. Brush and floss twice daily to remove any plaque that staining ingredients might cling to.
- Apply touch-ups when needed. It’s not uncommon to need more than one application to achieve and maintain your ideal shade.
- Eat more dairy. Foods with lots of calcium, like milk and yogurt, can help keep your teeth strong and bright.
