Although there are many over the counter
teeth whitening kits available in supermarkets and pharmacies, if you really
want to see results then you should make an appointment with your dentist as
they have options which are far superior. Your dentist can offers professional
strength teeth whitening techniques, including in-chair whitening and take home
kits, to deliver a brighter smile.
Let’s take a look at the teeth whitening
methods which are offered by your dentist so you can make the decision as to
which method is best for you.
In-chair teeth whitening
In-chair teeth whitening is carried out by
your dentist in the clinic. This method is generally the quickest way to
achieve a whiter, brighter smile and it can take as little as an hour to
achieve impressive and immediate results. After assessing your teeth, your
dentist will apply a peroxide based gel to the surface of your teeth which is
then activated with a light. Your gums will be protected during this procedure.
Rather than the gradual results you can
expect from a take home kit, you’ll see that your teeth have lightened in
colour by several shades at the end of the procedure. You will generally have
the option of being provided with a take home kit so you can continue to see
results at home.
Take home kits
If you’re not keen on in-chair whitening
and prefer to see results from the privacy of your own home, your dentist can
provide you with a professional take home kit. This involves your dentist
providing you with custom take home whitening trays which perfectly fit the
shape of your teeth and a professional strength whitening gel which you then
apply yourself. Take home kits are a popular option because you can start and
stop your treatment until your get the results you want – no need to worry
about your teeth being a little brighter than you expected.
Speak to your dentist
Remember, there are some occasions where
teeth whitening may not be appropriate, such as intrinsic straining or severe
teeth sensitivity, and your dentist is the best person to speak to before you
undertake any treatments. In some situations, you may need to explore other
cosmetic dentistry options such as dental veneers or crowns. You need to also
make sure you’re up to date with your dental maintenance before you undertake
teeth whitening.
