Teeth can become stained or change colour through certain foods and beverages, long-standing habits such as smoking or tobacco use, and even just over time. This is why many people look to teeth whitening and bleaching specialists to whiten their teeth and brighten their smiles. This is where our dentists at Maxilla, with several decades of experience, come into play.
There are many tooth whitening and bleaching options that do not require any cosmetic dentistry including at home treatments, gum, and dental office techniques. The costs vary greatly depending upon the option chosen, and results can be different for each person, even if they use the same method. The best way to choose the right method for you is a conversation with your dentist at your next appointment.
Best Teeth Whitening for Your Teeth
There are so many products for tooth whitening from gum, toothpaste, and even paint on products to be used at home, and dental offices have several options of their own. More important is to choose the right product for your individual needs. One that can whiten without weakening and does not cause allergies and fits in your budget. Book your next appointment at our clinic to discuss your teeth whitening and bleaching options and costs.
Zoom Teeth Whitening
Zoom whitening is a process at the dental office that uses a hydrogen peroxide based product to whiten teeth. It claims to whiten up to eight shades, using a blue light to activate the ingredients. Contact us to book your Zoom teeth whitening appointment.
In-office and take home teeth whitening
Dental offices often offer in office treatments that are not available for at home use, but they also offer some to take home and complete on your own schedule. They are stronger then over the counter from the pharmacy, but do not require the dentist to perform them. You will be instructed on how to use the kit and any after care instructions.
Teeth whitening depends on your chosen products and the results you wish to achieve. Budget-friendly options include over-the-counter solutions, toothpastes, and paint-on products. Other in-office treatments can be pricey but are performed by your dentist, leaving you with better results. Some treatments will require more than one visit and several rounds of treatment for the results that you want.
No, most dental insurance does not cover whitening the teeth, as it is deemed a nonessential cosmetic procedure.
Having whiter teeth can boost confidence and allow for any damages to teeth to show early and well, encouraging quick treatment.
To have whiter teeth avoid caffeine and dark coloured beverages, including red wine and fruits, avoid tobacco use of any kind, use a whitening toothpaste, and consult your dentist for more options.
