We know that your smile is important to you. A bright, dazzling smile has you
looking your best, lifts your personality, is attractive to others, and boosts
your confidence better than almost any thing else.
Teeth Whitening - How does work?
Many dentists are of the opinion that professionally dispensed take-home
whitening kits can produce the best results over the long haul. Take-home kits
incorporate an easy-to-use lower-concentration peroxide gel that remains on the
teeth for an hour or longer (sometimes overnight). The lower the peroxide
percentage, the longer it may safely remain on the teeth. The gel is applied to
the teeth using custom-made bleaching trays that resemble mouth guards.
Advantages of At-Home Teeth Whitening - Teeth Whitening Products
- Long-term results: Dental professionals agree that the
only way to maintain your whitened teeth is with at-home bleaching products,
repeated regularly – preferably every four to six months. But lately, many
dentists are advising people with very dark-stained or tetracycline-affected
teeth to continue home bleaching over a period of months (or up to a year) for
optimal results. What's interesting is, the newest teeth whitening strips on
the consumer market are intended for five-minute use every day, like brushing
or flossing.
- Variety: You have a choice of whitening trays, strips or
paint-on products, as well as numerous whitening accessories.
- Convenience: You can do home whitening at any time of the
day or night, for short or extended periods.
- Portability: You can also use at-home whitening strips
while on the go or at the office.
- Cost: Over-the-counter whiteners range from $4 to $100,
while dentist-dispensed products cost approximately $400. By contrast,
in-office whitening costs an average of $650 per session.
