What is professional teeth whitening?
Professional teeth whitening uses high-concentration bleaching gels not available over the counter applied under professional supervision. In-office whitening can lighten teeth three to eight shades in a single hour. It works faster and protects sensitive gums better than any store-bought product.
Why Choose Professional Whitening Over Store-Bought Strips?
It’s hard to imagine anything more appealing than a sparkling, white smile. Yet our teeth rarely stay as white as we’d like them to without a little help. Fortunately, that help is available at the dental office.
Teeth whitening done in a professional dental setting is a safe, effective way to brighten your smile. It’s also perhaps the most economical cosmetic dental procedure. Depending on the whitening method you choose, results can be dramatic — in-office whitening can lighten teeth three to eight shades in a single hour.
Professionally supervised whitening will work faster, and protect sensitive gums and tooth-root surfaces better, than over-the-counter whitening products. Having an oral exam before you begin any whitening process is an important first step to make sure your tooth discoloration is not the result of a dental condition in need of treatment.
A word of caution
It can be risky to have whitening solutions applied to your teeth by untrained personnel in shopping malls. If you have any questions about which whitening method would be best for you, talk to Dr. Khan first.
Professional Whitening Methods
Professional whitening makes use of high-concentration bleaching gels that are not available over the counter. There are two approaches to choose from — both supervised and customised by Dr. Khan:
In-Office Whitening
This technique offers the fastest results with the most powerful whitening solutions available. First, your gums and tooth-root surfaces will be covered with a protective barrier to ensure your safety. A thin plastic device known as a retractor will hold your lips and cheeks away from your teeth as a professional-strength hydrogen peroxide gel is applied. The gel will be left on for about an hour. When it is removed, the results will be obvious immediately.
Take-Home Whitening
This is another effective way to whiten your teeth, though you will play a greater role in ensuring the best possible results and several weeks may be needed to achieve your desired level of whiteness. First, a mold of your teeth will be taken and then two thin, flexible plastic mouth trays will be custom-made for you, one for the top teeth and one for the bottom. You will fill the trays with whitening gel and position the trays over your teeth. The trays are left in usually for about an hour at a time.
