This holiday season, you’ll be making appearances at reunions, parties, and other special gatherings. As you reconnect with old friends and family this month and next, will you feel great about your smile? If you’re like most adults, the answer is… not quite. But Dr. Revel and Dr. Holmes can help boost your confidence with professional teeth whitening! Pasadena Family Dentistry offers take-home kits so you can whiten your smile comfortably, and at your own pace. Start now and you’ll be smiling bright before the New Year!
How White Should Your Teeth Be?
Your teeth are naturally white because the outer enamel is made out of calcium. But over time, the teeth may become dingy or discolored as a result of their exposure to foods, beverages, not-so-great dental hygiene, and other outside factors. And your genetics play a role, too. Some people’s teeth are just naturally whiter than others.
But how white should your teeth really be? For the best look, your teeth should match the whites of your eyes. Anything brighter may look unnatural. Your dentist can help you determine what will look best on you.
Why Choose Professional Whitening
If you have taken a stroll down the dental hygiene aisle at the pharmacy or grocery store lately, you know there is no shortage of one-size-fits-all whitening products available. From white strips to toothpastes and gels, some of these treatments promise results in as few as three days — but do they really work? Unfortunately, these over-the-counter products sound too good to be true, and they often are. Nothing whitens as well or as safely as professional-grade teeth whitening. What’s more, people may be tempted to overuse or abuse pharmacy whitening products on their quest for a brighter smile.
When you partner with your dentist for teeth whitening, you’re getting the highest-concentrated solution, with a treatment suited just for you and your smile.
How At-Home Whitening Works
Patients of Pasadena Family Dentistry love the convenience and comfort of take-home whitening kits. They are customized to your unique dentition, so there is no danger of burning or injuring your sensitive gum tissue with the high-powered gel. And because your results are revealed over the course of a few weeks, you are less likely to experience the sensitivity that is associated with in-office whitening.
To set you up with your customized whitening system, your dentist will first take impressions of your teeth to create your personal trays. Remember this is no one-size-fits-all treatment — these customized trays will hold the bleaching gel right up against your tooth enamel for high-powered whitening.
Once you are ready to begin your treatment, simply fill the trays with the bleaching gel and wear them for the prescribed amount of time each night. After one to four weeks, the treatment is complete, and you’ve never smiled brighter!
