Who is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?
Honestly, most adults can qualify for teeth whitening; it only requires decent oral health. Just note that the procedure does benefit some patients more than others. To maximize its effects, you should see whether you have certain key qualities.
The best teeth whitening candidates are often those with extrinsic tooth stains. Since these markings occur when meals discolor enamel, treatment can remove them with bleaching gel. Meanwhile, the whitening process isn’t helpful for intrinsic tooth stains; it can’t remove marks from beneath the enamel.
How Does In-Office Teeth Whitening Work?
Dr. Makram will perform an oral exam when you visit, checking for stains to see if whitening would help. He’ll then consider your needs based on the exam’s findings. If he concludes you qualify for care, he’ll recommend you for in-office teeth whitening.
Our office takes pride in using Zoom! Whitening (the leading teeth whitening system), as it greatly brightens smiles in just one visit. We’ll apply its bleaching gel to your grin for treatment and activate it using a special light. Since the gel is made with safe and effective hydrogen peroxide, it’ll penetrate your teeth to remove deep stains from varied sources. The result will be a smile dreamier than you thought possible, with a shade six to ten shades whiter.
A five-minute fluoride treatment completes the procedure. We can also give you a take-home whitening kit for periodic touch-ups.
Tips for Maintaining Your Brighter Smile
Teeth whitening results aren’t permanent, but you can take steps to help them last. Just remember to do the following:
- Practice Good Oral Hygiene – You can keep plaque from staining your teeth by brushing twice daily and flossing once daily. Of course, regular dental checkups and cleanings would also help.
- Avoid Stain Agents – Foods and drinks with tannins stain teeth, so try to avoid them. Notable among these are coffee, berries, red wine, and tomato sauce.
- Eat More Dairy – Since white dairy products strengthen enamel and lack dyes, they’d keep your treatment results around longer.
- Get a Follow-Up – If your whitening results are fading, get a follow-up treatment from your local dentist.
