Does the look of a brighter, whiter smile look appealing to you? Are you interested in experiencing such a smile? There are many ways to achieve a bright, white smile that can be done at home or in a dental office. There are traditional whitening procedures, and more innovative options. Many at-home and in-office options use peroxide solutions as whitening agents, varying from 10% to 43% in strength and concentration. These options are described in more detail below.
At-home whitening
Over-the-counter whitening products obtained at various stores, such as whitening strips, are the mildest whiteners with the lowest concentration of peroxide. Professional whitening agents, including take-home whitening trays and Zoom whitening, are much stronger.
In-office whitening
Professional teeth whitening can offer long-lasting results in an expertly executed environment. Your dentist in Jefferson Valley-Yorktown, NY, such as Dr George Sepiashvili and the talented team at Advanced Dentistry in Jefferson Valley-Yorktown, NY can evaluate your teeth and determine the best treatment option for you to achieve your best, whitest smile. The artistic team understands how important having a white smile free of darkened or drab teeth is to your overall look. They are masters of aesthetic dentistry and offer the best ways to get stunningly white teeth with staying power. Some treatments offered in-office include:
- Zoom: this procedure uses a special combination of hydrogen peroxide and an LED light instrument to whiten your teeth. During your visit, the team will apply hydrogen peroxide to your teeth multiple times, producing whiter teeth with each additional application. Zoom works on all of your teeth at the same time and delivers consistent results in just about an hour, while ensuring your teeth don’t become sensitive like other solutions
- Opalescence®: This procedure produces noticeably whiter teeth in a single visit. We’ll apply a thick gel made up of hydrogen peroxide and potassium nitrate to your teeth a number of times during the same appointment. This solution breaks down stains and areas of discoloration, making your teeth whiter, tougher, and less sensitive in just 90 minutes. Once you’ve completed in-office treatment, you’ll continue your teeth whitening routine on your own using a professional-grade tooth whitening gel and toothpaste that we can prescribe for you
- Kör® Whitening: This procedure includes a blend of rigorous in-office treatments and an at-home bleaching kit. We start by applying a refrigerated bleaching gel to your teeth during several short in-office treatment sessions. At the end of the final visit, you’ll receive your custom-fitted bleaching trays to take home with you, where you can continue improving your smile in the comfort of your own home!
