People who long for a whiter smile, should consult their dentist about professional whitening. Teeth bleaching provides an effective way for many people to enjoy whiter teeth and can be done either as an in-office procedure or by using a take-home kit available from the dentist. Commercial products cannot offer the same results that these professional grade treatments can.
The first step is to make sure that the patient is eligible for this treatment, which the dentist can tell by examining the mouth. People who have had restorative work done to a tooth in the front, suffer from deep stains, have worn enamel or highly sensitive teeth will be advised to try a different approach.
The in-office procedure takes about an hour. A gel or special shield will be used to protect the gums, then the dentist will apply the whitening solution evenly to the teeth and a blue light is then directed at the mouth which works to activate the ingredients in the bleaching agent. After an hour, the results will be apparent and the patient can decide if he or she is satisfied with the shade, or if a second treatment is desired.
Patients who choose the take-home kit will first visit the dentist to have a mouth impression made, which is sent to a dental lab where a custom-made whitening tray set will be fashioned. On the next appointment the patient will be given the trays, along with the bleaching agent, and the dentist will explain how to use it correctly. Generally, the trays need to be worn for at least a half-hour daily, over a period of two weeks.
This approach to whitening offer many benefits to those who decide to go ahead with it. Overall, it restores a person's confidence in his or her appearance, improving their looks and making them even appear younger. It's versatility means that not only can it be easily customized, but it may also be applied in combination with other forms of cosmetic dentistry, and it produces quite dramatic and fast results.
Patients appreciate that these whitening methods take so little time but still work well. It only takes an hour for patients who select the in-office treatment to enjoy teeth that are as much as eight shades whiter. Those who opt for the at-home approach, can also anticipate great results, although it takes several days but allows the patient to stay home and do other activities during the bleaching process.
This approach is also non-invasive and costs less than many of the other techniques used to improve the appearance of a person's smile such as bridgework, crowns, and veneers. It is also considered safe, although some patients may experience minor irritation following the procedure if they are sensitive to the solution. Professional bleaching is less likely to cause side effects than many of the over the counter products.
Results vary amongst patients according to their initial enamel color, the degree and depth of staining, and the whitening method used. If the patient smokes, drinks beverages such as coffee, red wine, or tea, or takes some kinds of medications, this can undo the results and eventually a second treatment will be required.
