Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is an extremely popular cosmetic dentistry procedure that can make you look younger, healthier, and more successful in just a few hours. Waco cosmetic dentist Dr. Locke offers our patients two ways to whiten: Zoom! in-office whitening and take-home whitening trays. Zoom! has long been considered the leading brand for teeth whitening. Results vary, but most patients' teeth lighten 8 to 10 shades in just one office visit. If you'd prefer to whiten your teeth more gradually, we can create custom take-home kits for you to wear in the privacy of your own home. Zoom! and take-home teeth whitening methods deliver sensational results.
7 facts you should know about teeth whitening:
- Fact #1: Teeth whitening toothpastes can remove surface stains, but they can’t actually bleach the teeth.
- Fact #2: Not all types of stains respond the same way to teeth whitening. Yellow and orange tinges typically lighten more drastically than gray tones.
- Fact #3: Cavities should be filled prior to teeth whitening.
- Fact #4: Professional whitening kits contain a higher concentration of peroxide (bleaching agent), and therefore provide much more effective results.
- Fact #5: Periodic touchups will keep your teeth bright long term.
- Fact #6: A dental cleaning prior to teeth whitening will help remove surface stains and yield greater results.
- Fact #7: Professional teeth whitening systems, such as Zoom!, provides fluoride to curb tooth sensitivity.
