CHICAGO, IL, November 11, 2009
/24-7PressRelease/ -- A brilliant, bright smile is on everyone's checklist. From Hollywood celebrities to stay at home moms, whiter teeth are all the rage. With so many options to choose from, how does a person determine what
tooth whitening system will work best for them? Money is a factor, certainly, but so is time, associated side effects, and lasting results.
Tooth Whitening Options
When you're ready to step out of the (toothpaste) bottle and into a more aggressive form of whitening, you have no small number of choices. Most common are:
- Store-bought whitening kits. Kits come in both gel and strip form. Whitening agent applied to your teeth before bed and removed in the morning. The benefit of these kits is their availability. The drawback is the length of time they can take to work, and the subsequent tooth sensitivity they can cause. Most store-bought kits provide whitening results for about three months.
- Dental office in-home kits. Applied by you at home. Most of these kits come with a personalized mouthguard that helps to more evenly distribute the whitening gel. The gel in these kits is also more powerful than what can be obtained at a store, and therefore results are quicker and more satisfactory. Some tooth sensitivity may still occur with these kits. The results from take home kits usually last about six months.
- In-office whitening. Many dentists offer in-office whitening. Whitening gel whose active ingredient is hydrogen peroxide, is applied to your teeth and then activated with a special light that maximizes its whitening power and provides quick results. Usually in as little as one 90 minute session you can have brilliant white teeth. The results from in-office whitening usually last for about six months, but can be extended through office touchups.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are wafer thin shells that are placed over your existing teeth. Not only do these covers provide a whiter smile, they can help cover imperfections like chips, cracks, and deeper crevices that other whitening solutions can' t brighten. Porcelain reflects light in the same manner as your natural teeth, and it is stain resistant, offering a longer lasting white smile.
