Teeth can become four to eight shades whiter in just days.
Who is a good candidate for teeth whitening?
Most people who are unhappy with the whiteness of their teeth can be good candidates for teeth whitening. Many teeth whitening patients have stained teeth from drinking coffee, tea, or soft drinks on a regular basis. Cigarette smokers often opt for teeth whitening when their teeth take on a yellowish hue from nicotine.
In some cases, the reason for the darkening of the teeth is simply age. Over the years, the teeth grow darker naturally, but this can be corrected with teeth whitening.
In some cases, teeth may grow darker due to exposure to certain medications. This can often, but not always, be corrected with dental teeth whitening.
Unless you’re pregnant, or lactating, under 16, have extra-sensitive teeth, periodontal disease and exposed roots, or have visible restorations like crowns and bridges that won’t whiten, you are probably a good candidate for whitening.
How does teeth whitening work?
At Koren Family Dental, teeth whitening in Raritan, NJ 08869 begins with the creation of a customized set of whitening trays. Dr. Koren makes molds of your mouth in his office and then crafts whitening trays based on those impressions. The whitening trays are made from a tough but flexible plastic that can be used over and over. Each day you will fill the whitening trays with a whitening gel and wear the trays for a short period of time. This is repeated each day until treatment is complete. It can take as little as a few days to achieve a much brighter and whiter smile.
How much can teeth be whitened?
You can often expect to achieve a four to eight shade improvement in the whiteness of your teeth. Teeth are usually whitened until they’re at their original natural shade. It’s possible to go whiter than the natural shade if desired.
How long do the teeth whitening results last?
Results vary from person to person. If you closely adhere to all whitening instructions and follow that up with good dental hygiene afterwards, you can expect to maintain your results for a long time. However, maintaining peak whiteness may require periodic touch-ups. Dr. Koren is happy to help his patients establish the ideal treatment timeline needed to keep their smile at its whitest and brightest.
