Want Whiter Teeth?
Over time, the food we eat and even just aging causes our teeth to lose their pearly white qualities. Coffee, tea, red wine, soda, smoking and tobacco use, and some dark colored vegetables and fruits can all cause visible staining on your teeth. According to a survey by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, 99.7{3b0f9398becb40f4bdd8fe95c600d2c252c33730296b97da1b334948809cb5c4} of Americans believe that your smile is an important social asset. A whiter, brighter smile can make you feel more confident in your daily life. Check out these ways that you might benefit from an in-office whitening treatment.
Safety
In-office whitening procedures are actually one of the safest ways to get whiter teeth. We are trained in the whitening process and know exactly how to apply it the right way with maximum results. No guesswork is involved like with at-home trays or pastes, and you won’t have to worry about damaging the sensitive enamel of your teeth. The solution used in the office is thicker and is less likely to soak into your teeth than previous treatments. There are also several options your dentist can provide to help with teeth that are already sensitive.
Faster Results
Because we are trained in application, the solution we use for whitening procedures is about ten times stronger than your typical over the counter whitening pastes. This is good news for you because it means the whitening effects are seen almost immediately. One sixty-minute whitening treatment in our office can lighten your teeth up by several shades.
A Deeper White
The DIY trays you can purchase at the drugstore do not have the same power as the in-office treatments. We’ve already mentioned that. The trays may not fit your mouth correctly and it can take you weeks of applying pastes and gels and trays in your own home to get your teeth to lighten just a few shades. The in-office treatments can reach deeper stains in your enamel to help get them whiter in just one treatment.
