Who Is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?
Many patients are good candidates for teeth whitening in Jupiter. Both our in-office and take-home methods are excellent choices for those wanting to eliminate dental stains. All that we require is you have a clean bill or oral health – that means no cavities and no gum disease.
If you do have one of these conditions, don’t worry. We won’t abandon you and your smile dreams! We’ll simply recommend receiving preliminary treatment to take care of the issue. That way, we can ensure you’ll have a safe, comfortable teeth whitening experience.
How Does Teeth Whitening Work?
Teeth whitening works slightly differently depending on which method you choose. At Palm Dental Professionals, we offer the following treatment options:
Take-Home Teeth Whitening
Have you ever wanted to complete a dental treatment from the comfort of your own home? You can do exactly that with our professional take-home kits! We’ll supply you with a set of customized trays and a special whitening gel. Every day for about two weeks, you’ll apply the gel to your trays as instructed and simply wait for the kit to work its magic.
In-Office Teeth Whitening
Do you have a special occasion coming up? Or maybe you just can’t wait to whiten your teeth? Then you might prefer an in-office treatment. In as little time as one hour, our cosmetic dentist will meticulously apply and cure the whitening gel while you relax in the patient’s chair.
Tips for Maintaining Your Brighter Smile
After you see your stunning whitening results in the mirror, you’ll likely want to keep your teeth pearly for as long as possible! Dental staining can occur as a result of everyday wear and tear, so we recommend following these tips for longer-lasting aesthetics:
- Consume dark-colored food and drinks sparingly (treats like coffee, soda, and tomato sauce will stain your smile faster)
- Clean your grin daily with a solid oral hygiene routine (that means brushing twice per day, and flossing at least once per day)
- Avoid damaging dental habits (such as nail-biting or smoking)
- Visit our office when you’re ready for a touch-up!
Teeth Whitening FAQs
Does Teeth Whitening Hurt?
Many patients hesitate to commit to dental treatments because they are afraid that they will hurt, and the team at Palm Dental Professionals will do everything possible to ensure that you remain comfortable throughout the teeth whitening process. Since our smile-brightening treatments are completely customized, patients are much less likely to develop dental sensitivity afterward. If your teeth are especially prone to sensitivity, let our team know so we can plan your treatment accordingly. Waiting longer between treatments, avoiding hot beverages, and brushing with desensitizing toothpaste can help you avoid this distracting sensation.
How Can I Make My Teeth Whitening Results Last?
The results of professional teeth whitening treatment can last anywhere from several months to several years depending on how well you take care of your teeth afterward. The most important factor in how long your whitening results will last is your daily oral hygiene routine, which should include brushing twice, flossing once, and using antibacterial mouthwash. It’s also crucial to visit our office in Jupiter every six months for routine checkups and cleanings so we can prevent new stains from developing, clean the difficult-to-reach areas of your mouth, and address oral health problems in their early stages.
To prevent new stains, limit your intake of richly colored foods and beverages such as berries, colorful candies, dark sauces, coffee, tea, cola, and red wine. Using a straw when enjoying a stain-causing beverage can reduce how much your teeth are exposed to the liquid, which can help keep your smile white and bright. It’s also a great idea to quit poor oral habits like smoking and opening bottles or packages with your teeth.
Is Teeth Whitening Right for Me?
If stubborn dental stains or discolorations are making it difficult to smile proudly, you may be an excellent candidate for teeth whitening. However, the first step to receiving this treatment is to schedule a consultation with one of the Drs. Rodriguez so you can undergo a thorough oral exam and receive a professional opinion as to the best way to achieve your ideal smile. If your teeth and gums are ready, we can begin designing your customized treatment plan, but if we find any issues like gum disease or tooth decay, we’ll have to clear them up with an appropriate restorative treatment beforehand.
How Long Does Teeth Whitening Treatment Take?
Professional teeth whitening treatments reliably deliver astounding results in brief timeframes. Our in-office teeth whitening treatments can be completed in about an hour and our take-home whitening kits can be finished in about two weeks, and they can brighten your smile by up to eight shades. However, cases of especially stubborn or severe stains may require multiple treatment sessions. If you’d like to achieve a whiter smile before an upcoming special event such as a wedding or graduation, let us know so we can schedule your treatment accordingly.
