Who is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?
Nearly any adult can qualify for teeth whitening, as the treatment only requires good oral health. Just remember that it often benefits some patients more than others. Given this fact, you should confirm whether you have the right traits to maximize whitening’s effects.
The best whitening candidates generally have extrinsic stains. Since these kinds occur when outside factors (foods, drinks, etc.) discolor your enamel, treatment can remove them with bleaching gel. In contrast, teeth whitening isn’t great for intrinsic stains; it can’t remove any marks beneath your enamel.
How Does Teeth Whitening Work?
At your consultation, Dr. Muddana will assess your smile (and its stains) through an oral exam. This step lets her see whether teeth whitening suits you. After reviewing her findings, she’ll then suggest treatment options like the following:
Take-Home Teeth Whitening
Our office’s take-home teeth whitening consists of custom trays and Opalescence bleaching gel. As such, it requires that you wear gel-filled trays for a set amount of time every day. This method takes roughly two weeks to make your grin notably brighter, though the upside is that it can be done from the comfort of your home.
In-Office Teeth Whitening
With in-office teeth whitening, a patient receives their treatment at our practice. One of our own dental team members will apply the bleaching gel directly onto your smile. As a result, the procedure only takes an hour instead of several weeks. That means it quickly makes your smile much brighter without an extended waiting period.
Tips for Maintaining Your Brighter Smile
While teeth whitening results aren’t permanent, you can take steps to help them last. You just need to use the following tips:
- Keep Your Smile Clean – To keep plaque from staining your smile, remember to brush twice daily and floss at least once daily. You should also attend regular dental checkups and cleanings.
- Avoid Stain Agents – By avoiding foods and drinks with tannins (i.e., stain agents), you’ll reduce your risk of a discolored smile. Examples include coffee, berries, red wine, tomato sauce, etc.
- Eat More Dairy – Many dairy products are calcium-rich and don’t use food dyes, so eating them would preserve your treatment results.
- Get a Follow-Up – If you notice your whitening results are fading, get a follow-up treatment from your dentist.
