Everywhere you go, it seems someone is talking about whitening their teeth. The truth is, what we eat, drink and smoke, the lifestyle we lead, genetics and aging can all contribute to
tooth discoloration that has many people heading for the nearest dental office for correction. But there’s another alternative that should be explored.
Tooth whitening performed in your dentist’s office is effective, safe, and fairly long lasting, but it is a bit pricey, not covered by insurance, and requires a visit to the dental office. These are a few of the reasons why you might prefer to
whiten your teeth at home. To do so, your cosmetic dentist creates molds of your upper and lower teeth that fit snugly around your teeth. You then squeeze whitening gel into the molds and place them on your teeth for one to two hours. This type of home whitening takes up to 14 days for best results, but you’ll likely see changes in your teeth after just one use. This method is fast, economical and easy to do at home, making it a very popular choice.
Other
home whitening kits can be purchase by prescription or over the counter, and are usually some kind of pre-gelled strip that adheres to the teeth. While some have had success with this method, cosmetic dentists believe the molded tray bleaching kit is the most effective and long lasting of the home whitening methods.
