A survey done by Kelton Global on behalf of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry says that nearly 50 percent of adults feel that a smile presents the most memorable aspect when meeting someone, especially for the first time. Staining and discoloration of teeth can be too embarrassing. Many people with discolored teeth would want to make their smile look brighter. And one of the options they have is to get a teeth whitening procedure. Not only do whiter teeth promote confidence and social interaction but also create a strong first impression during a date or when undertaking a job interview. Depending on the severity of the discoloration, you may have to brighten your teeth several shades lighter.
In-Office Teeth Whitening
Getting an in-office teeth whitening takes about one hour. Our dentist uses a strong bleaching gel that only a professional experienced in dental health is able to handle. The dentist places the gel on the teeth and exposes it to a light to activate it. You only require one visit to get the whitening results you want. This way, it saves you time and the number of visits you have to make.
Take-home Kit
Some patients, for some reason, cannot come to our office. When this is the case, a patient may opt for a custom take-home kit. A dentist will provide the kit containing a tray and a teeth whitening gel. This kind of gel is not as strong as what is used in an in-office procedure. You are required to put the gel into the trays that you wear over the teeth. You may have to repeat the process numerous times to achieve the results you desire.
