The Various Options For Teeth Whitening

04.10.2011

There are 3 main options for undergoing teeth whitening.

  1. Teeth Whitening Done in an office
  2. Professional Teeth Whitening Kits Taken Home
  3. Over-the-Counter Kits for Whitening

With the in-office option for teeth whitening scottsdale, the benefit is a significant teeth color change will be seen rapidly. The oral soft tissues are protected by some sort of dental dam or occlusive device. A high concentration hydrogen gel is placed on the teeth for a bit. Potentially a heat lamp can be used to speed up the bleaching.

The median cost for a teeth whitening in-office around the US is $650. It is better not to have the whitening while pregnant or nursing, or receiving orthodontic treatment. Keeping the results intact is not guaranteed after the procedure indefinitely. Avoiding coffee, tea, dark colas, and red wine along with a diligent oral hygiene treatment will help maintain the new whiteness and sparkle. The in-office procedure primary benefit is that it is a single stage treatment (or two if severe) with maintained results that are obtained immediately. Patients do not have to put in a tray nightly or take the time to deal with a lengthy process when having the procedure done by Scottsdale dentists.

Professional kits to take home may provide fantastic long term results from Scottsdale cosmetic dentists. The concentration of hydrogen peroxide is less than what is utilized for the in-office procedures. Due to this, the gel can stay on the teeth longer. The gel goes in bleaching trays that resemble football guards. The cost of these trays is around $100 and helps allow  the bleach staying in contact with the teeth better than the one-size-fits all. They also stop bleach from hitting the gums along with the other way around of keeping saliva from mixing and diluting the bleach. The kits overall cost between one to four hundred dollard depending on location and the type of kit.

The least expensive and most convenient option is whitening over the counter. The concentration of hydrogen peroxide is lower than either the custom or in-office options. since these are off the shelf, they may not fit perfect and it could be that only a few teeth actually are bleached. One of the benefits with this whitening is that a bit of bleach may stay in the teeth for upwards of 36 hours. This can give a cumulative effect if done on a regular basis.

The newest over the counter products are recommending every day use for months, potentially for a year for best results. These may include whitening trays, strips or products to paint on. These range from $20 to $100, which is a lot lower than professional dental kits.

The downside here is that an over the counter variety can cause a bluish hue or uneven results if one over bleaches. The package instructions should be followed exactly.
