Teeth Bleaching

http://whitesmilepro.tk/
Three major teeth whitening options are available today. All three rely on varying concentrations of peroxide and varying application times.

In-Office Whitening

Significant color change in a short period of time is the major benefit of in-office whitening. This protocol involves the carefully controlled use of a relatively high-concentration peroxide gel, applied to the teeth by the dentist or trained technician after the gums have been protected with a paint-on rubber dam. Generally, the peroxide remains on the teeth for several 15 to 20 minute intervals that add up to an hour (at most). Those with particularly stubborn staining may be advised to return for one or more additional bleaching sessions, or may be asked to continue with a home-use whitening system.

In-office teeth whitening cost: $650 per visit (on average) nationwide.

Professionally Dispensed Take-Home Whitening Kits

Many dentists are of the opinion that professionally dispensed take-home whitening kits can produce the best results over the long haul. Take-home kits incorporate an easy-to-use lower-concentration peroxide gel that remains on the teeth for an hour or longer (sometimes overnight). The lower the peroxide percentage, the longer it may safely remain on the teeth. The gel is applied to the teeth using custom-made bleaching trays that resemble mouth guards.

Take-home teeth whitening kit cost: $100 to $400.

Over-the-Counter Whitening

The cheapest and most convenient of the teeth whitening options, over-the-counter bleaching involves the use of a store-bought whitening kit, featuring a bleaching gel with a concentration lower than that of the professionally dispensed take-home whiteners. The gel is applied to the teeth via one-size-fits-all trays, whitening strips or paint-on applicators. In many cases this may only whiten a few of the front teeth unlike custom trays that can whiten the entire smile.

Over-the-counter teeth whitening cost: $20 to $100.

Hydrogen Peroxide vs. Carbamide Peroxide
The bleach preference for in-office whitening, where time is limited, is powerful and fast-acting hydrogen peroxide. When used in teeth bleaching, hydrogen peroxide concentrations range from approximately nine percent to 40 percent.

By contrast, the bleach of preference for at-home teeth whitening is slower acting carbamide peroxide, which breaks down into hydrogen peroxide. Carbamide peroxide has about a third of the strength of hydrogen peroxide. This means that a 15 percent solution of carbamide peroxide is the rough equivalent of a five percent solution of hydrogen peroxide.

How White Can You Go? A Matter of Esthetics
Teeth whitening results are subjective, varying considerably from person to person. Many are immediately delighted with their outcome, while others may be disappointed. Before you embark on any whitening treatment, ask your dentist for a realistic idea of the results you are likely to achieve and how long it should take to achieve them. Expectations play a major role in teeth whitening.

I got my teeth bleached at my dentist. I do not drink coffee and I do not smoke. However, she said I should keep off colored foods/drinks (tea, red wine, chocolate, fruit) for a week, but it seems a little exaggerated. Can I eat strawberries?

you can eat anything anytime, but the sooner u eat things with a strong colour the more likely that your teeth will pick up the colour as they are more prone to straight after bleaching. if you do eat these things just try to brush after, or rinse around with water.

what other options are there to make ur teeth whiter,besides whitening jelleys & tooth paste & bleaching?

It can always be harmful. Care must be exercised to prevent damage to the teeth enamel. There are many teeth whitening methods ranging from the products for at-home use, such as toothpaste, strips, and even gel trays, to in-office treatments applied by dentists.

They differ greatly in price, and also in effectiveness. You can compare the different systems before making a decision here: http://the-dental-makeover.com/whiten-teeth-to-promote-confidence/teeth-whitening-cost-indicating-effectiveness/

I met a girl and she has beautiful white teeth. She had gotten her teeth bleach but didn’t think it was appropriate to ask how much it cost?

It depends on the route you want to go and the area you live. There are pretty much 3 options for bleaching. You can do an over the counter type whitening system (like Crest White Strips). Those are the least expensive. The second option is to have whitening trays made in the dental office that you buy bleaching gel and bleach at home. The most expensive option is to have your teeth bleached in office, such as Sapphire Whitening or Zoom2. That tends to be the most expensive. I know in my area Zoom and Sapphire cost anywhere from $600 to $900, while the trays cost around $300, and the strips cost about $40.

There are two ways we can handle teeth whitening. We can have an in-office bleaching, or we can fabricate thin plastic trays that the patient will take home with the bleach, and wear the trays for about two weeks. Both options have yielded excellent results from hundreds of patients.

Bleaching of teeth does not hurt, and is not bad for your teeth or gums. The bleach has a cleansing effect on the bacteria that collect around your teeth, so it’s actually beneficial.

If you have a chipped tooth, missing teeth, discolored teeth, or just don’t like the way your smile looks, and you live in the Philadelphia area, you should come and see us. We can use the latest techniques in tooth whitening, cosmetic bleaching, porcelain work and dental implants, to give you a beautiful smile.

I didn’t think I’d have to post this for the ignorant, but-
#1 Lighting can make teeth appear more yellow than they actually are.
#2 My teeth are ‘natural white’. Which means, I brush my teeth every day, but I don’t use teeth bleaching.

I always hear about the professional teeth bleaching that can be done at the dentist..either the trays or the brightsmile thing (machine) at the dentist (cannot recall what machine is called). What was your experience, was it worth the hundreds of dollars that the insurance unfortunately does not pay)???? Did it get much whiter?

it does get whiter but not a whole lot.
