Who Is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?
Most adults with healthy teeth and gums are excellent candidates for professional teeth whitening. If your smile has yellowed from years of coffee, tea, wine, or tobacco, an at-home kit can make a dramatic difference.
However, whitening only works on natural tooth enamel. That means existing crowns, veneers, or bonding won't respond to the treatment, so you’ll need to have them replaced if you want them to match.
Also, certain types of deep, internal discoloration may require a different solution, such as veneers or dental bonding. The best way to find out if whitening is right for you is to schedule a consultation with our team.
How Does Teeth Whitening Work?
Professional at-home whitening starts with a visit to our office. There, we’ll examine your teeth to ensure there are no immediate concerns with decay or gum disease before moving forward.
Next, we’ll take impressions of your teeth to create a set of custom-fitted whitening trays. Unlike the one-size-fits-all trays found in store kits, these are designed to fit snugly over your smile. This ensures the gel makes consistent contact with every tooth while minimizing the chance of gum irritation.
Once your trays are ready, our team will provide you with a professional-grade Zoom! gel, and walk you through the application process. Each day, you'll fill your trays with a small amount of gel and wear them for the recommended amount of time.
The active ingredients in the gel, hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide, work by penetrating your enamel and breaking apart the pigments that cause stains. After around two weeks of consistent use, you should begin to see a noticeably whiter smile emerging.
Tips for Maintaining Your Brighter Smile
A few simple habits can go a long way toward protecting your results after your whitening treatment. Here’s a simple checklist:
- Try to limit your intake of staining foods and drinks like coffee, red wine, and dark berries.
- Rinse your mouth with water after eating or drinking anything dark to wash away pigments before they settle.
- Brush twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush and floss before bed every night. You can also use ADA-approved whitening toothpaste a few times a week to keep your smile sparkling.
- Come see our team for regular professional cleanings, which remove buildup that can dull your smile. We can also discuss touch-ups if your shine starts to fade.
