Matching a Teeth Whitening Procedure to Your Needs
1. Matching a Teeth Whitening Procedure to Your Needs
Whitening procedures are one of the most popular types of cosmetic dentistry, and for good
reason: making your teeth several shades whiter can make you look and feel more attractive.
However, you may not know the pros and cons of the different whitening procedures when you
go into see a Crystal Dental dentist in Los Angeles. Here is help deciding on the right system.
At-Home Whitening Procedures
You cannot watch television without
seeing whitening products advertised as
mouthwash, toothpaste or strips applied
to your teeth. Generally, these systems
only provide a small whitening benefit,
usually one or two shades better than
your teeth’s current state.
Whitening with an over-the-counter trays system offers the potential for greater effects, but
one-size-fits-all solutions involve inaccuracies when matching trays to your gums and teeth. You
need to spend 30 to 60 minutes per day for about one month in order to get the benefits of this
system.
Instead of relying on store-bought whitening trays and gels, you can ask your dentist to
supervise the process by taking a custom mold of your mouth and supplying the professional
whitening materials. It has the same time commitment (at least 30 minutes per treatment) plus
you have the professional grade whitening products and can be assured that you will see
results. Furthermore, you risk less irritation to gums and mouth.
Whitening at Crystal Dental Offices
If you prize speed and accuracy in teeth whitening, you should consider a professional system
handled at your dentist’s office. It takes approximately one hour for the entire process to take
place, with the results potentially making your teeth up to eight shades whiter than when you
started. While this process is the more costly options- in-office whitening is by far the most
effective and fastest of the two options. Before you make a decision, consult with your dentist
to see if you are a good candidate.
