Are you looking to brighten your smile? Teeth whitening is an affordable and effective way to enhance your appearance, boost your confidence, and make a lasting impression in both social and professional settings.
Here are five essential things Lakeview Dental Arts recommends when it comes to teeth whitening:
1. Schedule a Consultation First
Before beginning any whitening treatment, it’s important to meet with your dentist. There are various whitening options available, and a consultation will help determine the best approach for your specific needs.
2. Understand What Whitening Can and Can’t Do
Teeth whitening treatments do not change the color of existing dental restorations such as fillings, veneers, or crowns. If you have restorations, your dentist can discuss alternative solutions to ensure an even smile.
3. Choose Your Desired Shade
During your consultation, decide how many shades lighter you’d like your teeth to be. Depending on the whitening method, you can brighten your smile by three to eight shades. In-office treatments provide the most dramatic results, often in just one visit, while over-the-counter products offer more subtle changes over time.
4. Consider Professional Take-Home Kits
If you prefer to whiten your teeth at home, your dentist can create custom-fitted trays for a more precise and even application of the whitening gel. While this process may take longer than an in-office treatment, it is a more affordable and convenient option for many patients. Results from either method typically last between six months to two years with proper care.
5. Be Aware of Sensitivity
Some patients experience temporary tooth sensitivity after whitening. In most cases, it fades within a day or two. If sensitivity persists, reach out to LakeView Dental Arts for guidance on how to manage discomfort.
At LakeView Dental Arts, we offer a range of general, restorative, and cosmetic dental services, including dental implants, Invisalign clear aligners, sedation dentistry, and smile makeovers. Our priority is to provide high-quality care in a comfortable and welcoming environment.
