At-home and in-office teeth whitening may yield similar results, provided you trust your whitening to a dentist. In some cases, dentists offer both options.
However, in our dental office, we rely on KöR® because we have found that it removes stains beautifully. This includes stubborn stains that many systems can’t eradicate.
Professional Teeth Whitening in Fayetteville, AR
Teeth whitening means a few steps, and the first of these is a consultation in our dental office, especially if we’re not familiar with your oral health profile.
If the dentist finds that you’re a suitable candidate for professional teeth whitening, we may start you out with professional teeth cleaning. This helps ensure predictable and beautiful results. We also take a photo of your before and after!
Then we take impressions of your teeth and use the results to create tooth trays. You wear these trays over your teeth, along with the prescribed whitening gel. Be sure to follow the instructions provided by your dentist.
At the end of your whitening treatment, we take a follow-up photo for comparison. Many patients are surprised by the dramatic transformation. And professional teeth whitening is an inexpensive way to enhance your smile.
Keeping Your Smile White
A member of our team can provide longevity tips. But as a rule, you’ll want to avoid tooth-staining foods and drinks, including the following:
- Red wine
- Bright sauces
- Coffee
- Tea
It’s also important to visit your dentist regularly for exams and teeth cleanings, and you should brush and floss no less than twice daily.
All tips taken together can increase the longevity of your teeth whitening results.
