Your dental office may offer various whitening solutions for patients to brighten their smiles.
Teeth whitening treatments are provided for those who have stained, dull or discolored teeth. Your dentist will explore different options and treatment plans to get you to your desired results. He or she will evaluate your smile and ensure that your teeth and gums are healthy enough to go through the bleaching process.
Your dental office may offer a variety of options when looking to whiten your smile. We offer custom-fitted whitening trays. This can be purchased from dentist, and can be done at home. With this procedure, it can take between a couple of days to a couple of weeks to achieve the desired effect, depending on the needs of your smile. If you choose this option, you will receive trays that are customized to fit your teeth to avoid any irritation to your gums. This at home option is ultimately healthier for your teeth rather than the over-the-counter teeth whitening solutions. Your dentist can evaluate your teeth and recommend proper teeth whitening strength. Also, it helps to protect your gums.
Another option would be an in-office whitening treatment. Your dentist would apply a bleaching agent to your teeth, and a special laser light is directed at the coated teeth to expedite the process. This is achieved in a single session and you will see the results much more quickly.
Both of these options are very effective in whitening your teeth. If you prefer to brighten your smile in the comfort of your own home, then whitening trays might be more appealing to you. However, if you are looking for quicker results, you might want to choose to stop in at dental office and have the procedure done at the office. Our dentist in Park Ridge and team cater to your comfort and convenience while providing you with high quality dental care.
