subject: Teeth Whitening Offers The Chance To Reclaim Your Bright Smile [print this page] Are your teeth discolored or stained? Are you hesitant to smile because you are ashamed of the way your teeth look? If you said yes, you might want to consider getting your teeth whitened either professionally by your dentist or with a take home whitening kit. Whitening technology has increased to the point where a significantly brighter smile is a possibility for almost anyone. With options available to fit any budget, a brighter smile can be yours if you simply make the decision to get it.
Zoom! In-office Whitening
The quickest and most effective method to whiten your teeth is to have your dentist perform a whitening procedure in his or her office using Zoom technology. Within an hour, you will be able to walk out of the office with a brighter and whiter smile. After discussing with your dentist to make sure you are a good candidate for in-office whitening, your dentist will begin the process by evenly applying whitening gel to the front of your teeth. Next he or she will shine a special light or laser onto the front of your teeth to activate the hydrogen peroxide in the whitening gel. By doing this, the whitening process is greatly accelerated. After repeating this process a few times, your teeth will be much whiter and you can walk out of your dentist's office and start enjoying your new smile!
Take-Home Whitening Kits
Another popular option among patients is to get a take home whitening kit from their dentists. Although this process is generally cheaper than an in-office whitening, it normally takes about two weeks to complete. After deciding that this is the option for you, your dentist will begin by taking detailed impressions of your teeth. From these impressions, he or she will create a customized set of whitening trays that will fit perfectly on your teeth. When you get home, you will put whitening gel in the trays and then wear them for approximately one hour. Generally after doing this everyday for about two weeks, your teeth will have whitened significantly.
Over The Counter Products
The cheapest method available is to try to whiten your teeth by using an over the counter product. Whitening gels, strips and toothpastes are readily available at most drug stores and cost less than dentist-approved methods. Since they are not specifically tailored to your whitening needs and generally contain much lower concentrations of active whitening ingredients, these products are not as successful as dentist-approved methods. However, if you are not looking to spend much money or are just looking for some modest whitening, an over the counter product could be just what you need.
