Who Is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?
Teeth whitening can be a great option for almost anyone who is dissatisfied with the color of their teeth. Of course, our team will need to verify a few things before approving you for treatment. For example, you should have a type of discoloration that tends to respond well to whitening. It is effective for nearly all extrinsic (on the surface of the enamel) stains, as well as some types of intrinsic (inside the enamel) stains. You should also be in good oral health.
How Does Teeth Whitening Work?
Most teeth whitening formulas contain a type of peroxide as their active ingredient. As the product penetrates the tooth enamel, it breaks up unwanted pigment molecules, resulting in brighter-looking teeth.
In our office, we use premium products from popular brands, including Zoom! for in-office services and Pola Light for take-home teeth whitening. Here is an overview of how each option works:
Take-Home Teeth Whitening
The Pola Light system combines a powerful bleaching gel with a small oral device that exposes your teeth to a special type of light. Simply use the kit as directed, and you should start to see a difference in your smile quite quickly. In fact, some Pola Light kits take as little as 5 days for a full course of treatment. (Some kits take 14 days. The type that is best for you will depend on your circumstances.)
In-Office Teeth Whitening
Zoom! in-office teeth whitening usually takes just one hour or so. During your appointment, we will apply the whitening formula to your teeth and activate it with a special light. We may repeat the process a few times during your appointment. By the time you leave our office, your smile is likely to be several shades brighter than when you arrived!
