The color of our teeth is genetically determined and as individual as the color of our eyes and hair. However, discoloration can also be related to external factors such as diet, old dental fillings, beverages, and smoking.
Fortunately, it is now fully possible for those affected by unsightly discoloration to easily address this. In recent decades, effective and gentle teeth whitening methods have been developed, specifically designed for those who desire a whiter smile.
Which type of whitening is most suitable depends on how quickly you wish to achieve the desired result, but regardless of which method you choose, you should seek the assistance of a professional dentist. This reduces the risk of problems that may otherwise arise, for example, when teeth are affected by cavities.
Below is a brief description of effective and gentle teeth whitening methods and additional tips on what you should consider for the best and most lasting results.
Zoom Whitening
Teeth whitening is not only about quickly achieving whiter teeth; nowadays, it is also important that the products contribute to better dental health. Zoom whitening is a method that, in addition to the effective hydrogen peroxide, also contains ACP—a substance that reduces tooth sensitivity and protects the enamel.
This type of whitening is available both as products for home use and for treatment at the clinic. Which option suits you depends on how quickly you desire results. Home whitening is a process that takes place over a longer period, while clinic whitening provides white and beautiful teeth in just 90 minutes.
Regardless of which method you choose, your dentist will assist you with the right materials and instructions for safe whitening that does not pose any risks to your teeth or gums.
For the best results, it may sometimes also require replacement of a dental crown or filling to address the discoloration.
Opalescence
Opalescence is a brand that, for example, excels in home whitening. However, before treatment begins, two visits to the dental clinic are required. This is to ensure you receive all necessary information and access to the products and trays needed for you to safely and effectively perform the whitening yourself.
The treatment can be performed during either day or night, and results typically appear after one to two weeks. Thereafter, you can expect a radiantly beautiful smile for up to two years.
