If you want fast results for a special occasion, in-office whitening from Dr. Winter may be right for you. In-office whitening can usually brighten your smile up to 5-10 shades in a single appointment.
To begin the process, Dr. Winter will clean your teeth, then use a special gum protectant and cheek retractors to protect your oral tissue from the whitening compound. Then, she will apply a layer of whitener to each of your teeth, and use a UV light to activate the peroxide-based whitener.
Then, Dr. Winter will rinse away the whitener and check the brightness of your teeth, and repeat this process until your teeth have reached the desired shade. Most treatments take just one appointment, but some patients may need multiple whitening appointments if they have severe stains.
Take-home whitening offers the same professional-grade results as in-office treatment, but allows you to treat yourself at home. It takes a few weeks to brighten your smile, and some patients prefer this, since it makes it less obvious that you have had your teeth whitened.
To get started, you’ll come to our office for an appointment with Dr. Winter, who will take impressions of your teeth and send them to a dental lab. A set of custom trays will be built, and sent back to our office. Once they arrive, you’ll come and pick them up. Dr. Winter will also give you a set of whitening products to use.
Then, you’ll go home and follow her instructions to whiten your teeth. Typically, you’ll whiten your teeth for about an hour per day, and your supply of whitener will last several weeks.
By far, the biggest benefit of teeth whitening is that it makes you feel more confident and proud of your appearance. If you’ve got stained and yellowed teeth, you may be self-conscious around others, even when doing normal things like eating, smiling, laughing, or even speaking.
By removing your stains and brightening your smile, teeth whitening in Ridley Township lets you feel more confident about your appearance. You’ll look younger, too, since teeth stains often cause you to look older than you really are.
Teeth whitening also delivers fast results, is non-invasive, and is quite affordable. It’s a great option if you want to improve your smile but you don’t have a large budget for cosmetic dentistry.
This depends on how well you care for your smile. Teeth whitening usually lasts between 1-3 years. Good at-home oral hygiene, regular six-month visits to the dentist, and a healthy lifestyle can help you keep your teeth white for a longer period of time. We also offer yearly whitening touch-ups at Kite & Key Dentistry. With regular touch-ups, your smile will always look its best.
