Having stained or discolored teeth can be unappealing and diminish confidence when you smile. With the variety of over-the-counter products available, as well as natural alternatives online, what is the best way to achieve a brighter, whiter smile? Professional teeth whitening treatments have continuously lifted stains and discoloration in just one appointment. Dr. Renee E. Edwards offers a variety of teeth whitening treatments at her office in Plains. Here is a break down of each product to help you choose the best service for you.
Zoom! Teeth Whitening
This in-office treatment produces stain lifting results quickly. For patients who desire a bright smile right before a big event like a wedding or a conference, Zoom! is the choice bleaching procedure. This is a convenient option for patients who don’t want to worry about changing their daily routine. Some patients have expressed some pain called zingers during treatment, let our dentist know of any tooth sensitivity before treatment and we can accommodate to ensure a comfortable procedure.
Kör
For those with sensitive teeth, this brand offers a more comfortable whitening experience. Known for its great stain-lifting power, Kör can even eliminate tetracycline staining, which was previously assumed to be impossible to lift with external staining treatments. Unlike other teeth whitening procedures, Kör does not require a specialized light for the bleaching agents to activate. The gel is applied in custom trays that are fitted to contours of your teeth and keep gel off of your gums. There are a variety of options from this brand that provides both take-home trays after your initial treatment at our office. Some options include Kör Home (take home trays only), Kör Max, Kör Ultra, and Kör Ulta-T.
Day White Benefits
Day White is a version of Zoom! that is take-home; produces fast results without having to schedule new dental appointments. This is convenient for patients who don’t want to schedule new appointments in order to maintain their smile’s brightness. This bleaching process may take longer than others, but our dentist will monitor the progress of your treatment and offer assistance when needed. Wearing these trays for 15 minutes twice a day can create optimum results within two weeks. There is DayWhite Gentle and DayWhite Maximum, our dentist can help you choose the best option to meet your timeline and needs.
Achieving a brighter and whiter smile is as simple as walking into an appointment at our Plains dental office or wearing a tray at home. For more information about brightening the smile, contact our practice to schedule a teeth whitening consultation!
