Who is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?
If you’re a fairly healthy adult, chances are good you qualify for teeth whitening. This treatment doesn’t have many requirements that patients need to meet. Still, the whitening process does benefit some people more than others.
To be specific, ideal candidates are those with extrinsic tooth stains. That means whitening works best on teeth discolored by foods, drinks, and other outside sources. Often, the treatment helps people with these stained teeth have more confidence in social settings. Meanwhile, whitening doesn’t easily remove intrinsic tooth stains – marks beneath the enamel.
How Does Teeth Whitening Work?
Our team will see if you qualify for teeth whitening at your consultation. At that visit, Dr. Ho will check your smile for removable stains and draft a custom treatment plan accordingly. She’ll then lay out the specific teeth whitening options that could work for you.
At our office, teeth whitening consists of special take-home kits. How they’re used can vary from patient to patient, but they should brighten your grin by six to eight shades.
Take-Home Teeth Whitening
Our take-home whitening kits use NiteWhite trays, custom-made devices that fit your teeth comfortably and brighten your smile at home. Wearing them removes stubborn stains from your enamel once you fill them with a bleaching gel. For the trays to work, you only need to keep them on your teeth for one hour daily over two weeks. You'll see significant and pleasing results by the end of this period!
Tips for Maintaining Your Brighter Smile
While teeth whitening results aren’t permanent, you can help them last as long as possible. Just remember to use the following tips:
- Keep Your Teeth Clean – If you brush twice daily and floss once daily, you can prevent plaque buildup that causes tooth stains. You could also avoid rising plaque levels with regular dental checkups and cleanings.
- Don’t Eat Risky Meals – Go easy on foods and drinks with tannins, as these latter compounds can stain teeth. Such items include coffee, berries, red wine, tomato sauce, etc.
- Have Dairy – As it turns out, eating white dairy products will strengthen your enamel. These foods also lack dyes that would stain your grin.
- Get Treatment Touch-ups – Before your earlier whitening results fade, consider getting a follow-up treatment.
