Who is a Good Candidate for At-Home Teeth Whitening?
Most individuals who are unhappy with the look of their smile because of stains or discoloration can receive treatment with at-home teeth whitening. At our dental office in Burien, we do require that patients undergo a scheduled consultation first to ensure there are no potential oral health issues that could create problems while whitening one’s teeth.
Dr. Thomas will see if any cavities, gum disease, or similar issues are evident. If so, we will be happy to move forward. However, if signs indicate there are problem areas that need to be addressed, we will schedule those before a patient can begin to treat their stained teeth.
How Does At-Home Teeth Whitening Work?
As a more convenient option for busy patients, at-home teeth whitening is highly effective when used correctly.
A patient will meet with our dentist to discuss eligibility before receiving custom-made trays and high-grade whitening gel. The whitening trays will be crafted using impressions taken of your smile, so they tackle as many stains as possible. This also ensures a more even whitening experience.
After applying the gel to the trays and wearing them for a certain amount of time each day, you will begin to notice your teeth appearing lighter and brighter than before. It typically only takes a few weeks to see the kind of results you truly desire.
Tips for Maintaining Your Brighter Smile
Keeping your brighter smile in the best possible shape requires commitment. You’ll need to:
- Establish a good oral hygiene routine by brushing twice a day, flossing at least once, and rinsing whenever the dentist recommends.
- Continue to keep your dental exams and cleanings every six months.
- Quit smoking and using tobacco (i.e., cigars, cigarettes, vape pens, etc.).
- Give up bad habits, like biting your fingernails, eating ice, or using your teeth to open packages.
- Ask your dentist about touch-ups along the way.
- Be mindful of how much you expose your teeth to dark-colored beverages and food.
