Enhancing Your Smile’s Shine
Even with a consistent preventive routine at home and regular in-office dental cleanings, teeth naturally stain over time. In many cases, stains aren’t a direct threat to the health or integrity of your teeth, but they can significantly affect your smile’s appearance the longer they’re left untreated. To reverse this effect and address noticeable surface-level blemishes, we may recommend an in-office or at-home cosmetic teeth-whitening treatment to suit your personal needs and preferences.
In-Office or At-Home Treatment
Both in-office and at-home treatments safely and effectively break up stains on the surface of your teeth, enhancing their shine and improving your smile’s appearance in a minimally invasive and convenient manner. What sets each method apart is in how the treatment is applied. In-office whitening involves a single visit during which your dentist applies a strong but safe whitening gel to your teeth. Using a special light, the gel is stimulated and begins breaking apart and lifting difficult stains. In just over an hour, the treatment can brighten your smile by several shades.
At-home treatment, on the other hand, utilizes the same potent but safe whitening gel in conjunction with a set of custom-designed trays. This allows you to enhance your smile’s appearance at your convenience and from the comfort of home. At-home treatment typically takes about 10 days to complete and can brighten your smile as effectively as in-office treatment.
