Teeth whitening is an incredibly popular cosmetic treatment that’s capable of transforming a yellowed or discolored smile into one that’s vibrantly bright, white, and healthy looking.
And as the winter holidays approach, teeth whitening can be the perfect way to provide that boost of confidence you need to really shine during all of your holiday gatherings (and of course, in all of the photos, too).
Professional teeth whitening can be achieved in the comfort of your own home. Our Milton dentist offers professional take-home teeth whitening kits for patients who would like to whiten at home this season in their winter cozies.
Most patients in good dental health are excellent candidates for teeth whitening. Calling us and booking your free teeth whitening consultation in Milton is the first step!
After determining that you’re a candidate, our dentist will prepare your custom teeth whitening trays by taking molds or impressions of your teeth. Depending on the level of tooth discoloration present and your specific goals, the whitening solution should typically be applied once a day for 30 minutes, over the course of two weeks.
It’s also important to understand that you may experience some tooth sensitivity with your at-home whitening treatment. However, this is normal, and can often be successfully managed. Sensitivity should not persist for long after a patient has stopped bleaching.
In addition to this, it’s important to have realistic expectations about your results. While most patients are extremely pleased with the success of their treatment and the new brighter shade of their teeth, the outcome will not last forever. Patients will require touch-ups every so often, but can take the right steps to preserving their vibrant smile for as long as possible by avoiding certain stain-causing foods and substances.
