What Are Your Teeth Whitening Options?
At TKO Dentistry, we offer in-office and at-home whitening options. Here is a look at what you can expect:
- In-Office Whitening: If one of your new year’s goals is a brighter, more confident smile, and you want results fast, in-office teeth whitening may be the perfect solution. The safe and effective procedure involves the application of a professional-grade whitening gel to your tooth surfaces to break down tough stains and discoloration. Just one office visit will leave you with a smile up to eight shades brighter!
- At-Home Whitening: If you would prefer to reveal a bright smile this new year from the comfort of your home, we are happy to offer custom whitening trays and professional whitening gel. Consistent use over the course of a few weeks can help you whiten your smile by multiple shades. At-home whitening is safe, effective, and one of the most affordable solutions to transform your smile.
How About Over-the-Counter Teeth Whitening?
There are numerous over-the-counter whitening products available, including strips, gels, trays, and DIY kits. While some may lift some surface stains, many fail to deliver. Moreover, some contain harsh chemicals, and their one-size-fits-all delivery methods can fail to provide protection during treatment, leading to tooth sensitivity and gum tissue damage. For the safest and most effective treatment outcomes, we highly recommend teeth whitening under the care of an experienced dental professional.
Are You a Candidate for Teeth Whitening?
In-office and at-home teeth whitening can lift most stubborn stains, especially those resulting from years of consuming dark foods and beverages, aging, and using tobacco products. However, discoloration caused by trauma or certain medications may not deliver the results you desire. Additionally, professional teeth whitening is not ideal for removing stains from dental restorations, such as fillings, crowns, or bridges.
If professional whitening is not right for you, Dr. Wytko may recommend an alternative cosmetic dentistry solution, such as dental bonding or veneers, to transform your smile.
How Can You Maintain Your Bright Smile This New Year?
The following are tips to help you maintain your beautifully bright smile:
- Brush and floss regularly to remove plaque and food debris that can dull and discolor your teeth once again.
- Limit the consumption of dark foods and drinks and avoid tobacco products to prevent new stains from setting in.
- Drink plenty of water, especially after every meal, to wash away food debris and neutralize acids, helping keep your smile bright.
- Snack on fresh, crunchy vegetables and fruits, like celery or apples, to naturally remove surface stains from your teeth, helping maintain your bright smile.
- Visit TKO Dentistry for your twice-yearly dental exams and cleanings to keep your smile clean, healthy, and bright.
