Many of us want a whiter smile. Between normal wear and permanent coffee and food stains, it can feel like a difficult battle to make your smile bright and shine. Also, something has to give you so many at-home solutions that can cause tooth sensitivity (like toothpaste whitening) or just not providing the results you are looking for. That’s where whitening in the office begins. When your smile doesn’t respond to DIY solutions, in-office treatment can have serious consequences in one visit.
The impact of professional whitening in the office
Many home-based whitening products promise to lift teeth in several shades, but in-office whitening can achieve such a dramatic change in just one visit.
“Unlike other cosmetic dental treatments available today, professional teeth whitening can dramatically enhance the appearance of someone’s smile in one office visit without invasive steps,” says New York cosmetic dentist Husam Almunajed, DDS.
Cosmetic Dentists Joseph Field, Los Altos and DDS in California point out that these treatments can also affect patients’ confidence. “A small smile upgrade like a professional whitening can have a huge impact,” he says. “It extends to (the patient) presenting themselves more comfortably, increasing confidence and not being restrained by teeth.”
Types of teeth whitening in the office
Whitening led like a Phillips zoom! GLO experts also utilize LED light and hydrogen peroxide gel to significantly whiten some shades. Laser whitening uses a laser to activate bleach (usually hydrogen peroxide) to achieve a deep white color.
“Specialized internal teeth whitening is very effective because we use more advanced techniques and stronger whitening agents than at home methods,” says Dr. Almunajed. “Professional professional teeth whitening is a controlled, efficient and safe procedure that provides excellent results for home-based methods. A combination of professional grade products, personalized care and advanced technology ensures a brighter, more confident smile on a single visit.”
