When you think of summer, what comes to mind? Is it time spent at the beach? Picnics and barbeques? Nights of fun with friends and end of the winter celebrations? With summer fast approaching, many people begin thinking about brightening their smiles this time of year. Teeth whitening procedures help many people to achieve this goal. Did you know that Dr. Wyatt offers great specials on teeth whitening to all of his new patients with a complete exam, necessary x-rays and dental hygiene visit?
Teeth whitening works well for many people, but it is not for everyone. Some people have intrinsic (within the teeth) stain that isn’t likely to whiten very much. Whitening systems are usually very effective for people with surface staining and very few restorations on their front teeth. For patients with multiple restorations in the front teeth, they will probably get very little benefit from whitening. These patients are often better candidates for porcelain veneers or Lumineers.
There are many options available, and making a decision as to which system to use can seem overwhelming. There are whitening toothpastes, over-the-counter products, daytime or night time whitening systems, and in-office whitening technology, all of which have varying degrees of effectiveness. But don’t worry, Dr. Wyatt is here to help guide you!
• Whitening toothpastes and other over-the-counter whiteners are effective for some people, but offer milder results than those achieved by professional whitening. They can also be used without the supervision, however, the results are often less dramatic and often don’t last as long.
• The most popular professional whitening systems generally involve stronger whitening agents such as take-home bleaching trays. Dr. Wyatt takes dental impressions of your teeth which are used to custom make your very own trays to fit your mouth perfectly. You can even choose between different strengths of whitening material (an hour a day or overnight) and determine which one works best around your schedule! The take-home products usually take about two weeks to get the desired effect. Check out our Teeth Whitening on our website or ask us about our FREE Whitening-for-Life program!
• In-office whitening systems have become extremely popular due to the “instant gratification” aspect. At a time when people seem to be busier than ever, many people prefer one-hour solutions like Zoom in office whitening.
Teeth whitening is more popular than ever because many people want to have whiter, brighter teeth. Remember that teeth whitening can be effective for most people. Feel free to call us today at
