Who is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?
As with any other dental service, candidacy is determined on a case-by-case basis. That’s why we recommend scheduling an appointment with our Acworth cosmetic dentists if you are unhappy with the shade of your teeth! During this visit, we will determine what’s causing the stains, how severe they are, how bright you want your smile to be and, ultimately, if you are a good candidate for professional teeth whitening.
How Does Take-Home Teeth Whitening Work?
With our take-home teeth whitening kits, you can achieve the results of an in-office treatment from the comfort of your own home! The entire process starts with your consultation, which is when we will learn more about the cause of your discoloration as well as the state of your oral health. If you are a good candidate for this cosmetic dental treatment, then we will provide you with everything you need, including custom trays and a powerful (but safe) bleaching agent. By the two-week mark, your teeth will be noticeably brighter!
Tips for Maintaining Your Brighter Smile
Sadly, the results of your teeth whitening treatment won’t be permanent. With that said, there are a few ways you can prevent stains from surfacing, including:
- Being consistent with your oral hygiene regimen.
- Coming in every six months for a checkup and cleaning.
- Using a straw when drinking coffee and other dark-colored beverages.
- Eating light-colored, nutrient-dense foods, like oatmeal.
- Avoiding unhealthy dental habits, like smoking.
- Getting touch-up whitening treatments as needed.
Take-Home Teeth Whitening FAQs
Does Take-Home Teeth Whitening Hurt?
When it comes to dental care, it’s common for patients to be concerned about pain. The good news is that the teeth whitening process will not hurt. Plus, our Acworth dental team will give you some helpful tips to prevent dental sensitivity, like avoiding really hot beverages and cold foods in the interim. If you’ve struggled with this unpleasant sensation in the past, then we can also do some problem-solving to help prevent that from happening, such as using a desensitizing toothpaste.
What’s the Difference Between Professional and Store-Bought Teeth Whitening?
When it comes to over-the-counter kits and professional treatments, you might be wondering why you should choose the latter. Well, there’s more than one reason! To start, OTC products don’t consider your unique dental needs, including if your teeth are healthy and if you have any existing dental work. Additionally, products available at the store need to use diluted whitening agents and one-size-fits-all applicators, which is a recipe for disappointment. Simply put, if you want to dramatically transform your smile from the comfort of your own home, it’s best to invest in a professional take-home whitening kit.
How Long Does Teeth Whitening Treatment Take?
The actual teeth whitening process usually takes about two weeks. Of course, you have to factor in your initial consultation as well, so it may be a tad longer than that. That’s why we recommend getting the ball rolling sooner than you may think if you have an important event, like a wedding, coming up!
Is Teeth Whitening Permanent?
Sadly, even professional teeth whitening treatments aren’t permanent. There is some good news, however: you can prolong the lifespan of your results by adopting healthy oral hygiene habits. A few examples include brushing your teeth each morning and evening, using a straw when drinking coffee, and getting a dental cleaning every six months.
How Can I Reduce the Cost of Teeth Whitening?
As you may have guessed, dental insurance providers don’t typically cover the cost of teeth whitening and other elective treatments. Fortunately, there is another financial solution you can explore: flexible financing. At Biologic Dentistry, we welcome flexible financing with CareCredit, which has helped millions and millions of patients over the years. All you have to do is choose a payment plan that works with your monthly budget – it’s that simple! If you need any help or have any questions, don’t hesitate to let us know.
