Your teeth are a very important part of your appearance. Brushing and flossing regularly doesn’t always guarantee a bright, picture-perfect smile. Many cosmetic and general dentists offer teeth whitening treatments that help to wipe out stains and bleach the teeth to a natural white or off-white shade.
Whitening your teeth can also enhance your self admiration. Have you always noticed those people who smile a lot even to total unfamiliar person? Notice how easily they spread out tenderness just by smiling. A times, that smile is so contagious that you find yourself smiling and feeling better for the rest of the day on.
Why Whiten Your Teeth?
People with stained or yellow teeth are often reluctant to smile. This does not need to be the case as there are many modern methods of teeth whitening available. They can really help to improve the look of your teeth and give you back the confidence to smile again.
Methods for teeth whitening?
In-Office Laser Tooth Whitening:
In-office teeth whitening offers excellent results. This procedure is performed in the dental office and can be done quickly, usually in a little over an hour. In-office bleaching is expensive, but the time that you save by having immediate results can make this option appealing.
At-Home Tooth Whitening:
At-home whitening is the more popular approach today. Our dentist – Dr. Hawary takes an impression of your teeth and makes a custom-fitted tray, which you fill with a whitening gel and wear up to two hours daily or at night for about two weeks. Many whitening kits prescribed by dentists today contain a solution of 10-15% carbamide peroxide. When done under the supervision of our dentist- Dr. Hawary, at-home whitening is very effective.
What if I have sensitive teeth and gums?
The most effective teeth whitening techniques available today are in-office laser teeth whitening and at-home teeth whitening with custom-fit trays. Both teeth whitening techniques are best performed under your dentist’s supervision to ensure the safest results.
