Who is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?
Anyone unhappy with the tone of their teeth can benefit from professional whitening treatments. However, that doesn’t mean that everyone is automatically a good candidate. You must consult one of our providers before proceeding to ensure that no pre-existing problems, like cavities or gum disease, interfere with the results.
Our team will examine your condition to determine the types of stains present and the severity of your condition before devising a customized treatment plan to meet your unique needs. For example, stains caused by consuming too many darkly pigmented foods often respond more quickly to topical bleaching than intrinsic discoloration in the lower layer of dentin, which may require repeated treatments or another procedure altogether.
How Does Teeth Whitening Work?
Our team offers two different options to brighten your smile, and can recommend one of the following solutions to meet your needs after your initial consultation:
Take-Home Teeth Whitening
We understand that some patients prefer to lighten their teeth in the comfort of their own home, and are happy to provide all the supplies needed to obtain professional whitening results. For example, our take-home kits include ultra-concentrated gels designed to mitigate potential sensitivity as well as custom-fitted applicator trays for more comfortable and accurate results. Not only that, but many patients start to see results in as few as two weeks.
In-Office Teeth Whitening
Our team in Reno also offers in-office whitening procedures for more immediate results. For this option, we apply the product to your teeth, then speed up the whitening process by exposing them to ultraviolet light. This is a popular solution for those who have an upcoming occasion, such as a wedding, reunion, or graduation, and want to look their best.
Tips for Maintaining Your Brighter Smile
Professional teeth whitening can enhance your appearance and self-esteem, and it’s only natural to want to do everything you can to maintain the results. You can help preserve your brighter smile by:
- Implement a twice-daily dental hygiene routine. Brushing and flossing morning and night removes plaque that gives darkly toned particles something to cling to.
- Repeat treatments as needed. You might require periodic touch-ups to maintain the perfect shade.
- Choose foods carefully. Avoiding common culprits known to stain, such as coffee, tea, berries, and wine, can help avoid future discoloration.
