Has your smile lost its luster? Are you considering teeth whitening? If so, you’re not alone! Tooth whitening data shows that 37 million Americans used whitening products in 2020. The quest for brighter teeth is a growing trend, but with so many products and methods out there, it can be hard to know where to start. From homemade remedies shared online to whitening strips lining drugstore shelves, knowing which option is safe and effective can be confusing. That’s why it’s best to consult with a professional. At Happy Smiles Family Dentistry, we’ll discuss your goals and help you understand which professional teeth whitening treatment may be right for you!
What Are Your Professional Teeth Whitening Options?
Here at Happy Smiles Family Dentistry, we offer three teeth whitening methods to meet our patients’ unique needs.
In-House Laser Whitening
Our in-house laser whitening is the fastest professional teeth whitening option we offer. Over-the-counter whitening products can’t compete with our advanced laser treatment. This treatment takes about 90 minutes and delivers immediate results! You can walk out the same day with teeth that are many shades whiter than they were before!
Customized Bleaching Trays
The second option is a customized home whitening treatment! At your appointment, Dr. Aristodemo will take an impression of your teeth to create custom whitening trays. You’ll use these trays and a professional whitening gel for 20 minutes a day over two weeks.
You can keep your custom trays and reuse them anytime you need a touchup, so there’s no need for frequent trips to the dentist. This is a great choice for those who want a safe and reliable way to brighten their smile without spending extra time in the office.
Pre-Made Bleaching Trays
This professional whitening option is similar to over-the-counter products—you take it home and use it once. However, the key difference is in the quality. These disposable trays are made by a professional and use a stronger concentration of hydrogen peroxide than typical store-bought products. As a result, you’ll get a brighter, longer-lasting smile that keeps your teeth looking white and radiant for longer.
Does Professional Teeth Whitening Hurt?
At Happy Smiles Family Dentistry, our priority is your safety and comfort. Our teeth whitening options are reliable, effective, and safe, but there are a few reasons why teeth whitening may be uncomfortable for some patients. Sensitive gums, gum recession, and worn-down enamel are some problems that can interfere with teeth whitening. However, Dr. Aristodemo will assess your dental health during your initial appointment to ensure we choose the most comfortable treatment for you.
How Long Does Professional Teeth Whitening Last?
Professional teeth whitening can last anywhere from 6 months to 3 years, but your treatment longevity depends heavily on your habits. Drinks like wine, coffee, tea, and soda all have properties that can darken the teeth. If you frequently drink these beverages, your whitening treatment may not last as long as expected. When you meet with Dr. Aristodemo, she will review your lifestyle habits and make recommendations to help bring back your beautiful, confident smile.
