Who is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?
Before we begin your professional teeth whitening plan, we will take the time to determine the underlying causes of dental discoloration. This ensures the treatment we recommend will effectively address your concerns and brighten your smile. Some of the most common reasons patients’ smiles become discolored include:
- Consumption of dark-colored foods and drinks
- Enamel wear (which reveals the yellow, dentin layer of teeth)
- Bright white spots caused by fluorosis or enamel hypoplasia
- Dark staining or bands caused by consumption of tetracycline and other medications during dental development
- Predisposition to naturally darker tooth enamel
- Use of smoking or chewing tobacco
We will also conduct a comprehensive oral exam to ensure that your teeth and gums are healthy. If they are, there’s a good chance that you’re a candidate for teeth whitening!
How Does Teeth Whitening Work?
Dr. Cher Rich provides two types of teeth whitening treatments: in-office and take-home. You can learn more about each below, but don’t hesitate to schedule a consultation with us if you want to learn more! That way, we can learn all about your smile goals and determine which one is ideal for you.
Take-Home Teeth Whitening
You can literally see hundreds of whitening products on store shelves today, but NONE of them are made especially for you. Our take-home whitening kits, on the other hand, are made specifically to fit your teeth and guarantee dramatic results. We’ll provide you with customized trays and a powerful bleaching gel so you can get the smile of your dreams right in the comfort of your own home. Most people see complete results in just two weeks or less!
In-Office Teeth Whitening
The Zoom! Whitening procedure is simple and painless. It begins with a short preparation to isolate your lips and gums. Then, the proprietary Zoom! Whitening Gel will be applied and activated by a specially designed light. Teeth typically become at least 6 to 10 shades whiter, sometimes more. A five-minute fluoride treatment will complete the procedure, and you will be amazed with the results! In most cases, your teeth will get even whiter the first few days after the procedure.
Tips for Maintaining Your Brighter Smile
With proper care and an occasional touch-up at home, your whiter smile will sparkle for years before you’ll need complete retreatment in our office. You should limit your consumption of staining foods and drinks as well as avoid tobacco use to maximize your results. Keeping up with your regular daily hygiene and visiting us twice a year for professional cleanings will also extend the life of your whitening results.
