All of us consume a lot of dark colored foods and beverages in large amounts like tea, coffee, berries, soy sauce and an occasional glass of wine. But over the years, these foods and beverages tend to leave our teeth stained and discolored, putting a damper on our smile. So does that mean you stop consuming them? Absolutely not! You can bring back that lost shine with a teeth whitening procedure. Whether you\u2019re going through your Instagram feed or flipping the pages of a magazine, everyone understands the importance of whiter teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

So, if you are on the fence about the procedure, unsure of the results or simply want to know whether it\u2019s going to be the right decision for you; here\u2019s the truth. Teeth whitening is a safe process that can massively improve your appearance and psychological health.
It\u2019s a procedure that can be done both at home and at your dentist\u2019s office. An in-home treatment is quick and easy but may lead to an uneven color of your teeth. To avoid this risk, professional teeth whitening<\/a> will evenly whiten your teeth and make sure no spots are left out!
Here\u2019s a look at teeth whitening procedures that can be done both at home and at a dentist\u2019s office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In-home Treatment vs Professional Teeth Whitening<\/h3>\n\n\n\n


In an in-home treatment, your dentist will provide you with a flexible set of mouth trays designed especially for your teeth. With the right amount of whitening gel, the trays are left in your mouth for approximately an hour. Alternatively, a lot of patients purchase over-the-counter whitening strips that provide instructions on the label to follow. The results may show within a few days and may last over a period of four months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, in a professional teeth whitening treatment, your dentist applies a highly concentrated peroxide whitening gel that is dispensed only at a clinic. This gel is applied to your teeth and with the help of an intense light; the chemicals within the light are activated. Once the gel is broken down, oxygen enters the enamel of your teeth and bleaches it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Professional Teeth Whitening<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. What to expect during professional teeth whitening?
    A professional teeth whitening treatment is performed with the help of laser or powder bleaching. To keep your gums protected, you may have to wear a shield so that a concentrated peroxide-based gel can be evenly applied on your teeth. This gel then works its magic on your teeth with the help of heat or light. This treatment usually takes about an hour.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Why is it better to get professional teeth whitening?
    With a professional teeth whitening treatment, you can instantly get up to 10 shades brighter teeth in a single session. It\u2019s also very beneficial for patients who age, consume dark-colored foods and tobacco.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
