Who is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?

A patient only needs (relatively) good oral health to qualify for teeth whitening. Otherwise, the only wrinkle is that treatment suits some patients more than others. You’ll want to consult our team to see if your traits could maximize whitening’s effects.

To be specific, the “best” whitening candidates have extrinsic tooth stains. Such marks stem from outside factors (food debris, bad oral hygiene, etc.), so treatment can remove them with bleaching gel. Intrinsic stains – those that develop beneath enamel – aren’t as easy to fix, though; they often require veneers, dental bonding, etc.

How Does Teeth Whitening Work?

Our team will give you a close oral exam at your initial consultation. Based on its results, we’ll decide whether teeth whitening suits you and your smile. You can then choose (if approved) from two possible treatment options:

Take-Home Teeth Whitening

Those wanting more flexibility should consider our take-home teeth whitening. For this option, we’ll provide you with a pair of custom bleaching trays and a special bleaching gel. You’d only need to wear the gel-filled trays over your teeth for a few hours daily for treatment to work. After doing so for two weeks, you’ll sport a smile that looks visibly brighter by at least six to eight shades!

In-Office Teeth Whitening

If you prefer faster results, we encourage you to get our in-office teeth whitening. The latter relies on the GLO whitening system to make your grin brighter in under 32 minutes! As for how it works, you’d receive treatment at our office from a highly-trained dental hygienist. They’ll apply professional-grade bleaching gel to your teeth before using a curing light to blast away stains.

Tips for Maintaining Your Brighter Smile

Teeth whitening results don’t last forever, but you can do things to keep them around longer. Such steps include the following:

• Practice Good Oral Hygiene – By brushing twice daily and flossing once daily, you’d remove food debris and plaque that’d otherwise stain your smile.
• Avoid Stain Agents – You’ll reduce your risk of tooth stains if you avoid dark-colored foods and drinks. Examples of the latter range from coffee, red wine, and tea to tomato sauce, blueberries, etc.
• Get More Dairy – Dairy-rich products have calcium and lack dyes, so they can preserve your treatment results.
• Consider Follow-Up Care – Should your whitening results start fading, you can always get a follow-up treatment from your local dentist.
