Am I A Candidate For Teeth Whitening?

When debating the pros and cons of professional strength vs. store-bought whitening options, you should think about what you are really trying to achieve. If your smile has been white your entire life and only recently is starting to become discolored, an over-the-counter whitening kit could produce great but temporary results. When your teeth have darker discoloration and stains, you might be a great candidate for professional-grade teeth whitening at Sweet Tooth Dental Loft. If you want home touch-ups, Dr. Cooper might additionally provide at-home customized trays which can be used in conjunction with our whitening products for maintenance.

What to Expect during teeth whitening

GLO Science Professional teeth whitening system is an in-office treatment used at Sweet Tooth Dental Loft in Frisco that uses a laser to activate a specially-formulated whitening gel. The gums are first protected from the gel with a special barrier. Then, the whitening gel is then applied to the teeth and the laser to breaks down the stains that have diminished teeth’s whiteness. The entire process takes around 45 minutes and the patient will immediately notice that their teeth are several shades whiter after just one treatment. Subsequent treatments could be needed to maintain whiteness.

How long is recovery during teeth whitening?

Compared to over-the-counter whitening products and professional home whitening treatments, the results of laser treatments last the longest at 3 – 4 years. In some cases, results can last more than 5 years. Patients should follow a good home health oral care routine, including brushing at least twice a day, flossing, and using mouthwash. Additionally, patients should continue to visit Sweet Tooth Dental Loft twice a year for a professional dental cleaning and tooth polishing.

Will I need more whitening treatments in the future?

It is also important that you follow aftercare instructions and attend routine dental cleanings to preserve your teeth whitening outcome.

Should I get a dental cleaning before or after teeth whitening?
For the best results from teeth whitening, it's essential to have teeth that are free from plaque and tartar.
