Who is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?
Is your smile healthy, but you still don’t love the way it looks? If so, there’s a good chance that you’re a candidate for teeth whitening! Of course, you need to schedule a consultation with us so we can confirm that’s the case. Once we have an in-depth understanding of your dental history, needs, and goals, we can determine if this cosmetic dental treatment is ideal for you.
How Does Teeth Whitening Work?
At Dix Hills Family Dentistry, we offer three whitening options for our patients: in-office whitening, take-home whitening, and Sheer White Professional Whitening Strips. At your consultation, we will discuss each one in-depth so you can confidently decide which is right for you. Until then, you can read on to learn a little more!
Take-Home Teeth Whitening
Take-home whitening treatments use a pair of whitening trays and a supply of whitening gel to help you achieve beautiful results in your own home. All you need to do is line the application trays with whitening gel and wear them for the prescribed amount of time each day. You may begin to see results within a day or two, but most patients see the most significant change after 7-10 days of treatment.
For those who want a whiter smile but at an affordable cost, ask about Sheer White take-home whitening strips! Not only are they stronger than the leading over-the-counter whitening strips, but they cost less!
In-Office Teeth Whitening
In-office whitening treatments are designed to produce dazzling results in a single appointment. So, you can see why patients who have an important event around the corner love this option! If we decide together that this is the best smile-enhancing service for you, then we will handle everything while you relax comfortably in the treatment chair. By the time you leave our office, you’ll have a smile that’s several shades brighter.
Tips for Maintaining Your Brighter Smile
To prevent noticeable, yellow stains from resurfacing shortly after your whitening treatment, we recommend:
- Brushing, flossing, and rinsing with mouthwash consistently
- Using a straw when drinking coffee or any other dark-colored beverage
- Eating nutrient-dense, light-colored foods, like egg whites
- Breaking bad habits, like smoking
- Coming to our office every six months for a checkup and cleaning
- Scheduling touch-up whitening treatments as needed
