One of the quickest, easiest ways to enhance our smiles is to whiten teeth. Discoloration is a natural process that occurs over time because of the foods and beverages we regularly consume, the erosion of enamel, and the aging process. While we may not be able to halt the development of stains on teeth, we do have the power to brighten our smiles with professional teeth whitening. At Family Dental Health of South Asheville, we encourage our patients to consult with us regarding the best way to brighten their smiles.
We offer three different options for teeth whitening because we believe that we all deserve to have smiles that we feel confident in sharing. Many people think that in-office teeth whitening is superior to home whitening, when the real benefit to this expedited dental bleaching process is immediate results. In our office near Arden, we discuss the advantages of various whitening options so that our patients can find the solution that works best for their needs and budget.
The original teeth bleaching systems were designed for home use, and this method is still one of the most effective and affordable options available. The results that can be achieved with home teeth whitening treatment from the dentist are no less impressive than what comes from in-office treatment. The difference is that teeth are gradually lightened over a period of a few weeks. Changes can be noticed after the first few days.
The process of whitening teeth at home is simple and convenient. We begin by creating custom-fitted whitening trays from impressions taken of the upper and lower arches. Once the trays are sent to our office from the dental lab, the patient comes in for fit assessment, and he or she is sent home with trays and a supply of whitening gel. At home, trays are worn for thirty minutes or more each day, as directed by the dentist.
While the affordability of home whitening is appealing, so is the control patients have over their results. Whitening can be continued as needed to achieve maximum brightness, and touch-ups are easy since all materials are already at hand.
Teeth whitening treatment should work for your unique needs. At Family Dental Health of South Asheville, we offer methods that get the results you want.
