Teeth whitening solutions are for those with stained, dull or discolored teeth. The main causes of stained teeth are genetics, antibiotics, tobacco, and certain foods. As we age, our teeth darken as well.
Dr. Roney and his staff will explore different whitening options to achieve your desired results. Your dentist will evaluate your smile and ensure your teeth and gums are healthy enough to whiten.
There are a variety of options when looking to brighten your teeth:
Custom-fitted whitening trays can be purchased from your dental office. With this procedure, it can take about a month to achieve the desired effect, which depends on the needs of your smile. If you choose this option, you will receive customized trays to fit your teeth to avoid irritation to your gums.
This at-home option is healthier for your teeth than over-the-counter teeth whitening solutions. Your dentist can evaluate your teeth and recommend the best solution for you.
Your dentist will apply a bleaching agent to your teeth, and a laser will be directed at the coated teeth to expedite the process. This is achieved in a single session, and you will see the desired results immediately. This is the preferred whitening method because even though more potent agents are applied, the rest of the mouth and gum is protected from these materials.
Both options are very effective for whitening your teeth. If you prefer to brighten your smile in the comfort of your home, whitening trays may be more appealing. However, you might consider doing the procedure at your dental office for quicker results.
