Who Is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?
Do you want a brighter, more vibrant smile? Are you tired of wasting your time and money on drugstore products that struggle to deliver noticeable results? If so, then you should schedule an appointment with our team at Central Dental Associates to discuss teeth whitening in Norwood.
During your consultation, we’ll examine your teeth and gums, checking for signs of cavities or gum disease in the process. If common oral health problems like these are present, then we will need to provide the necessary restorative care before we can whiten your teeth. If your smile is healthy, however, then we can move on to the next step of the process: determining whether you’d benefit from an in-office or take-home whitening treatment.
How Does Teeth Whitening Work?
Not only do whitening toothpastes often fail to deliver the results they promise, but they often contain abrasives that can actually damage teeth when overused. For bleaching agents to be most effective, they must contact the teeth for extended periods of time, which is why professional whitening works better. At Central Dental Associates, we offer in-office and take-home treatments, allowing you to choose what works best for you.
Take-Home Teeth Whitening
The trays we create in our office are designed from impressions taken of your teeth. Unlike over-the-counter trays, they hold the gel flush against the tooth enamel, which prevents spotting or uneven results. We give you bleaching gel, available in different strengths, with which you line the trays. Professional strength bleaching gel lightens teeth up to several shades.
In-Office Teeth Whitening
You might be familiar with this popular method. It involves a potent bleaching gel applied to the teeth. The gel penetrates the tooth enamel and oxidizes, breaking apart staining compounds. After just one whitening session in our dental office, your teeth can be noticeably lighter.
Tips for Maintaining Your Brighter Smile
To maintain your bright, beautiful results, we recommend:
- Brushing your teeth twice a day
- Flossing and rinsing with mouthwash daily
- Using a straw when drinking coffee, red wine, or soda
- Eating light-colored foods, like cottage cheese
- Scheduling a dental cleaning every six months
- Getting touch-up whitening treatments, as needed
