Who is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?
To be perfectly honest, you only need decent oral health to qualify for teeth whitening. The only wrinkle is that the treatment suits some patients more than others. As such, you should consult our dentists to see if your traits would maximize whitening’s effects.
Truly ideal whitening candidates have extrinsic tooth stains. Those kinds stem from outside factors like meals or bad habits, so treatment can remove them with bleaching gel. In contrast, whitening doesn’t work as well on intrinsic stains – those that develop beneath your tooth enamel.
How Does Teeth Whitening Work?
During your initial consultation, our team will perform a close oral exam. This assessment of your smile will help us see whether teeth whitening suits you. Based on our findings, we’ll then suggest possible treatment options for you.
If we approve your care, we’ll proceed with our take-home teeth whitening procedure.
Take-Home Teeth Whitening
Here at Market Heights Family Dental, we offer highly flexible take-home teeth whitening. This method uses custom trays and quality bleaching gel to brighten your grin. By wearing the gel-filled trays over your teeth, you’ll sport a much whiter smile in just two weeks! You simply need to use the trays for a few hours daily during the two-week period; your enamel will then look six to eight shades brighter.
Tips for Maintaining Your Brighter Smile
While the results of teeth whitening aren’t permanent, you can take steps to help them last as long as possible. Just remember to do the following:
- Keep Your Smile Clean – When you brush twice daily and floss once daily, you remove food debris and plaque from your smile. These habits thus prevent stains from building on your teeth.
- Avoid Stain Agents – By avoiding foods and drinks with tannins (i.e., stain agents), you’ll reduce your risk of stained teeth. All you need to do is skip (or limit your intake of) coffee, berries, red wine, tomato sauce, etc.
- Eat Dairy Products – Because dairy-rich products have calcium and don’t use dyes, they can preserve your treatment results.
- Get Follow-Ups – Whenever you notice your treatment results fading, consider getting a follow-up treatment from your local dentist.
