Brighten your smile and restore confidence with teeth whitening treatment.
So you decided to get a whiter smile, but how do you do it? There are many options out there. You may wish to whiten at home or you may want our Charlotte, NC, dentists Dr. Jose Arocho and Dr. Nelly Matos to do it for you. You may be looking for dramatic results or you may be looking for subtle changes. Whatever the case might be here are some of the most popular whitening options,
Commercial Whitening Products
From whitening toothpastes to at-home kits from your local drugstore there are many simple and inexpensive ways to get a brighter smile. These whitening products don’t require a prescription and don’t need to be monitored by your dentist; however, because of this, these options have some limitations. With continued use and by following the instructions exactly as they are listed on the package, you can get results in about 1-2 weeks; however, results won’t be dramatic.
However, commercial whitening products may be a good starting point if you aren’t sure where to start in your whitening journey or if you aren’t looking to make drastic changes to the color of your teeth. These products can also be great for preventing new stains from forming.
In-Office or Chairside Whitening
If you are dealing with significant yellowing or visible stains then the best approach may be to turn this cosmetic issue over to our Charlotte cosmetic dentists. In about one-hour our whitening system can get teeth several shades whiter, depending on the severity of your stains. If you are dealing with visible yellowing and you want results quickly then in-office whitening may be the best approach. Plus, our dentists will do all the work for you so you don’t have to deal with filling whitening trays every night or applying sticky dental strips to your teeth.
Professional At-Home Whitening
If you love the convenience of being able to get amazing results at home but you need a stronger treatment than anything you can find at your drugstore it’s time to talk with our dentist. Many dentists offer an at-home whitening system that uses custom trays, which provide better and more even results. While you won’t get results as quickly as you will with in-office whitening, most people will see changes in about one week with daily use.
