In Chair Teeth Whitening from Your Dentist
Teeth whitening is one of the most popular procedures patients ask their dentists about. We all want a smile that is healthy and white. Our smile can sometimes make or break our first impression.
Throughout our lifetime, we put our teeth through a lot. We eat hard candy, chewing gum, and munch on all types of foods that can cause damage. We also like to drink wine and coffee and even use tobacco. All these daily habits may fill our cravings, but they are also yellowing our smiles.
You can purchase toothpaste to help your smile stay bright and even at-home whitening kits, but they won’t give us the perfect result we are looking for like we would get at our dentist’s office.
How does teeth whitening work?
When you choose to have your teeth professionally whitened by your dentist, this will give you the best result. Your dentist can get your teeth brighter, faster than any at-home kit.
They use a peroxide-based bleaching agent that is much stronger than you can buy. A professional will also use heat and light to speed up and intensify the effects, and sometimes they will combine both for an even brighter effect.
Your dentist can usually get your teeth anywhere from three to eight shades brighter in a timespan spread out in a few 30 to 60-minute office visits.
Some dentists have access to techniques that can be done in one longer appointment. Ask your dentist what type of whitening process they use and how many visits you may have to be scheduled for.
Does my insurance cover this treatment?
As with any dental procedure, you should contact your dental coverage provider before your appointment to determine if they cover any or all teeth whitening. You can talk to your dental office about payment arrangements if you cannot pay the entire cost upfront.
This procedure can be costly but well worth it. So many patients need to have this done because they want to get back the confidence associated with a white smile. Years of discoloring on the teeth are not something anyone wants to show off, and this procedure is a game-changer.
What are the side effects?
Whenever you undergo any procedure, there may be side effects. The chemicals used to whiten your teeth may cause you to feel nauseated if you swallow any.
You may also experience gum irritation. The chemicals used are meant for the teeth, not your gums, which may irritate your mouth.
The side effects will subside in time. If you feel you are experiencing any other symptoms or your side effects are lasting too long, ask your dentist what you should do.
