Questions About Tooth Whitening

 

Are at-home tooth whitening kits as effective as professional tooth whitening?

 

While it is true that some individuals find at-home tooth whitening kits to be very effective, they are not a good option for everyone. Although at-home kits can achieve great results when used as directed, many over-the-counter tooth whitening systems must be used once or twice daily for two weeks or longer. As a result, many
people do not have time to effectively use these at-home tooth
whiteners.

 

Professional tooth whitening addresses these issues by providing comprehensive, effective tooth whitening in a single office visit.

 

What kind of tooth whitening system does Sierra Dental Care use?

 

At Sierra Dental Care, we use the Rembrandt Whitening System, which provides tooth whitening without the use of dangerous UV lights. Instead, the Rembrandt Whitening System employs a high-intensity light, which provides consistent results every time without the risk of damage caused by systems using UV lights.

 

Does professional tooth whitening have the same affect on everyone?

 

Because every person is different, professional teeth whitening affects different teeth in different ways. Some individuals will find their teeth remarkably whiter, while others will see a result of only a few shades.

 

If your teeth have been discolored by illness or chemicals, they may not benefit as greatly from tooth whitening procedures. Instead, you may find that Lumineers, a porcelain veneer, may be a more effective option to provide you with a dazzling, white smile.

 

Who is a good candidate for tooth whitening?

 

Anyone who is unhappy with their current tooth color can be a candidate for tooth whitening. You do not have to want a shockingly white smile for professional tooth whitening to benefit you. If you are interested in finding out if tooth whitening is a good option for you, our Modesto cosmetic dentists would be happy to discuss this with you.

 

Is professional tooth whitening expensive?

 

Professional tooth whitening is more expensive than at-home tooth whitening. However, the benefits far outweigh the cost. Professional whitening systems will provide you with longer lasting, more effective results, in a shorter period of time. If you have a busy schedule, a special event in the near future, or want a noticeably whiter smile immediately, professional tooth whitening may be the best option for you.
