One of the first things that people notice about you is the condition of your teeth, and if your enamel appears more yellow or brown than pearly white, you might not make a good impression.

We can provide a convenient kit that contains everything you need to obtain the sparkling smile you’ve always dreamed of.

Who is a Good Candidate for At-Home Teeth Whitening?

Potentially, anyone who is unhappy with the shade of their grin can benefit from our professional teeth whitening solutions, but that doesn’t mean it’s the best treatment for everyone’s circumstances. Before proceeding, you must consult with one of our dentists in Wethersfield to ensure you’re a good candidate.

First, our team will examine your mouth to ensure no pre-existing problems, like cavities or gum disease, interfere with your results. We’ll also check the type of stains present; extrinsic blemishes on your enamel from consuming darkly toned foods and drinks tend to respond better to topical treatments than intrinsic stains in the lower layers.

How Does At-Home Teeth Whitening Work?

Many patients feel tempted to try over-the-counter whitening solutions only to end up disappointed in the lack of results. These products tend to contain diluted bleaching agents and one-size-fits-all trays that don’t produce the desired change. Then, you might develop sensitivity by overapplying or misusing the bleach.

Meanwhile, our team utilizes professional-grade solutions designed to mitigate potential discomfort. We’ll also provide custom-fitted applicator trays for more accurate treatments to produce a noticeably brighter grin, usually within a couple of weeks.

Tips for Maintaining Your Brighter Smile

Once you’ve finally achieved just-the-right hue, it’s natural to want to do everything you can to maintain it. Teeth whitening often lasts anywhere from six months to three years, but it depends on how well you care for your smile. You can preserve the perfect shade by:

  • Implementing a routine. If you don’t already brush and floss twice daily, now’s the perfect time to start! It removes plaque and bacteria so darkly toned ingredients have nothing to cling to.
  • Watch what you eat. Avoid common culprits known to stain, like coffee, tea, berries, and tomatoes. Instead, fill up on yogurt and cheese that are light and contain calcium to support your enamel.
  • Schedule follow-ups. You may need occasional touch-ups to maintain the perfect color over time, and it’s a good idea to see us for a routine checkup and cleaning every six months to prevent potential problems.
