Is Teeth Whitening Right For You?
Deciding whether a teeth whitening procedure is suitable for you depends on various factors including your current oral health, the presence of restorations, and personal expectations. Moving forward with whitening is also most effective for people with yellow tones to their teeth, and less so for brown or gray tones.
If you already have veneers, dental crowns, or fillings in front-facing teeth, whitening products may not have the effect you are looking for. Additionally, if you have sensitive teeth, gum disease, or worn enamel, ask Dr. Piper about the potential risks of teeth whitening. Overall, the best candidates are those with healthy, unrestored teeth and realistic expectations about the results.
At-home vs. In-Office Whitening Methods
Dr. Piper believes in giving patients options with regards to teeth whitening. Some prefer the office environment and the trained eyes monitoring the entire process while others wish to whiten their teeth at their own pace at home.
While offers a level of convenience appreciated by patients with busy schedules, in-office treatments offer faster, potentially longer-lasting results. Consider your lifestyle, budget, and how quickly you want to see results when choosing between these options.
Advantages of in-office teeth whitening include:
- Quick results after one trip to our Largo, FL, dental office
- Supervision by our dentist ensures no accidental gum irritation
- Relatively quick procedure
- Stronger whitening gel
Advantages of at-home teeth whitening include:
- Can be completed at home
- Easy to follow steps
- Gradually whitens over a few weeks
- Professional-grade whitening gel is safe to use at home
- Little to no sensitivity after completion
