How does an in-office whitening treatment work? Professional in-office whitening treatments uses a peroxide-based gel to whiten and brighten your smile. The procedure typically begins by placing a protective shield over the soft tissues of the mouth, including gums and lips. Next the bleaching agent is applied to the surfaces of the teeth. After the initial application, the whitening gel is rinsed and the procedure repeated several times until the desired tooth shade and color is achieved. If you are looking for professional teeth whitening solutions in Sachse, TX, our tailored office treatments can brighten your teeth by several shades in one short office visit.
AT-HOME WHITENING KITS
At Smiley Pearls, we also offer professional-grade, take-home teeth whitening kits. Professional at-home kits provide a convenient alternative to in-office whitening. A kit includes custom trays made from impressions of your mouth, professional-grade whitening gel, and use instructions.
What is the difference between in-office and professional grade, at-home whitening kits? Typically home whitening may take a week or two to produce similar results to what can be achieve with a one-time, in-office teeth whitening treatment. Professional-grade whitening kits at Smiley Pearls are a safe and proven method for teeth whitening. Please follow the use instructions carefully and contact our office with any questions.
TEETH WHITENING OPTIONS TO AVOID
When it comes to teeth whitening solutions, dental professionals do not recommend over-the-counter methods. You may have seen teeth whitening strips or over-the-counter kits at the grocery store or pharmacy, but these products should be avoided. Recent studies indicate that “there is a lack of consistent research protocols and data regarding their safety and efficacy”. Studies also demonstrate low evidence of the effectiveness of OTC teeth whitening. Additionally, bleaching solutions can irritate your gums, causing sensitivity. Before using any over-the-counter whitening products, please consult your dentist. Certain products may be harmful and your dentist is the best resource for determining if a product is safe and effective for YOU.
