Teeth Whitening Specialists vs Home Teeth Whitening
Using Teeth Whitening Specialists to whiten your teeth has proven to greatly increase self confidence and sociability amongst people surveyed.
Teeth Whitening Specialists are also able to monitor the bleaching and whitening process and advise on alternatives when side effects occur.
Cosmetic dentists may perform any of the following whitening procedures:
- Bleaching – this is a process identical to the teeth whitening tray home treatment. A mould of the teeth is taken and a whitening gel is placed into the mould which is then applied and secured back onto the teeth for a specified period of time. Although this process is highly effective, it is time consuming and often requires multiple dental appointments.
- Cleaning – This is the most common procedure, where the dental expert uses a combination of fluoride and peroxide to clean the teeth with high pressure air or water, this simply causes an abrasive action which forces all debris to dislodge from the cracks and crevices in the enamel of the tooth. This process is effective, although without a maintenance plan at home, you would need to visit the dentist regularly to maintain those dazzling white teeth.
- Laser – This is where a whitening gel is applied to the teeth with a pen like apparatus, and then a light (LED) activates the gel and causes it to react to the debris causing the stain. This procedure only requires one dental visitation and is not as lengthy as bleaching.
Once you have had a specialist perform a whitening treatment and you have discussed an effective maintenance procedure, you will be able to keep your smile white and bright for a much longer period of time than before where you would have to make a new dental appointment within six to eight months to maintain that beautiful white smile!
Whether you choose a home treatment or to use a Teeth Whitening Specialist and a home maintenance plan,being embarrassed about your smile is not an option! You only live once.
Go on, choose a treatment plan and implement it, within months at the most a year, you will be radiating confidence with your million dollar smile.
