How Different Types of Teeth Whitening Options Deliver Different Results
If you’ve ever browsed the teeth whitening products at the store, you know that making a decision feels like taking a chemistry quiz. Whitening toothpaste and strips. All of them promise you a whiter smile. But you’re not going to get the same results that you get with professional teeth whitening at JSP Dental.
What Are the Most Effective Teeth Whitening Options in Riverview, Michigan?
You’ve got two main professional teeth whitening options.
- In-office whitening: Super quick results: You walk out with a whiter smile after one appointment.
- Take-home whitening trays: Less expensive than in-office whitening and brightens your smile more gradually.
Does Whitening Toothpaste Work?
Just like store-bought whitening strips, whitening toothpaste can help if you’ve got very mild stains from coffee or tobacco. But it’s not going to bleach the deeper color inside your teeth like prescription-strength products do.
How White Will My Teeth Get with Professional Teeth Whitening?
The number of shades you get after whitening depends on the types of stains and the color your teeth were before treatment. The type of product you use also matters.
- Whitening toothpaste
- Store-bought strips
- Professional take-home trays
- In-office whitening
How Long Do Teeth Whitening Results Last?
Your results from teeth whitening aren’t permanent. If you keep drinking stuff like red wine and coffee, your stains will come back sooner. Same with tobacco use. Brushing 2 or 3 times a day helps. Be sure to visit our office to have your teeth professionally cleaned every six months. If you take super good care of your teeth and follow these tips, your teeth may stay white for several months.
How Does At-Home Teeth Whitening Work with Your Office?
Here’s how it works with at-home teeth whitening.
- A thorough exam of your teeth and gums.
- A digital scan or impressions are taken.
- Custom trays made at a lab.
- The team at our office shows you how to use the gel.
- You wear the trays for an hour during the day or at night while you sleep.
- Treatment lasts for a few days or a few weeks.
Does Teeth Whitening Work on All Types of Stains?
Yellow or brown stains that come from the food and beverages you consume respond well to teeth whitening. So do stains from aging or using tobacco. If you’ve got gray or blue stains from medications, these are harder to lighten.
