Who is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?
Teeth whitening procedures are effective only on natural tooth enamel. That’s why it is suggested that anyone interested in teeth whitening schedule a consultation with Dr. Bakhtyari, or “Dr. B.” That way, he can evaluate your dental applications or restorations (fillings, crowns, bridges, etc.) before a whitening procedure is attempted. If needed, he will suggest a replacement of any dental restorations after the bleaching is completed so that your restorations match your newly whitened smile.
How Does Teeth Whitening Work?
As we mentioned above, the first step of the treatment process is scheduling a consultation. If we decide together that teeth whitening is the best option for you, then we will begin working on your custom treatment plan. At our office, we offer both in-office and take-home whitening treatments, and you can learn a little more about each below!
Take-Home Teeth Whitening
A take-home teeth whitening procedure typically requires two visits. In the first visit, trays will be created from molds (impressions) of your teeth. In the second visit, the trays are refitted, and the patient is sent home with a special whitening solution as well as instructions for wear. After about two weeks of consistent use, the full results will be evident!
In-Office Teeth Whitening
At Premier Dental Care, teeth whitening (also known as dental bleaching) is an enormously popular in-office treatment that uses bleaching agents to break apart these yellowing or staining compounds deep in the tooth enamel. Not only is it extremely effective, but it also allows us to lighten a patient’s teeth by up to eight shades in a single visit!
Tips for Maintaining Your Brighter Smile
Unfortunately, teeth whitening is not permanent. The good news is that you can make the results of your treatment last for 6+ months with healthy habits, like brushing, flossing, and rinsing with mouthwash consistently. It’s also important that you avoid doing anything that could cause noticeable, yellow stains to resurface, like smoking or drinking coffee without a straw.
If you are interested in teeth whitening and live in the Herndon, Oak Hill, Reston, or Northern Virginia area, feel free to give us a call or ask Dr. B about treatment offerings during your next appointment!
