There are high chances for your teeth to become yellowish if you are a smoker or a heavy coffee drinker. If you want to give the best first impression, choose teeth whitening services and get a brighter smile. The whiter your teeth, hopefully the more confident you will feel. In fact, it is one of the easiest ways you can improve your oral health. But the teeth whitening procedure is not as easy as you think. Visit a reputed dentist offering teeth whitening services and they will let you know whether you are the right candidate for teeth whitening.
Conducting a full-dental check-up is a must before you start whitening your teeth. The dentist will ensure there is no cavity or other lingering issues in your teeth. Whichever cosmetic dentistry treatment you are choosing to whiten your teeth, you must have good dental hygiene. If you already have any problems in your mouth, there are high chances for the issue to become more complicated.
It is not just about cavities, having healthy gums is also necessary for teeth whitening services. Though the procedure is very safe, there are chances for your pre-existing gum problems to become complicated during a dental process inside your mouth. Having healthy gums means they are capable of handling dental work without causing any pain or other issues.
Your dentist might suggest you not to undergo a teeth whitening procedure if he examines your teeth and finds out that you are suffering from chronic teeth sensitivity. The majority of teeth whitening procedures work on the enamel of your teeth. If you are suffering from tooth sensitivity or pain in any part of your teeth, the condition can become worse due to whitening.
Smoking, heavy coffee drinking or other dietary habits might also lead to tooth discolouration. Even if you are using custom-made trays filled with a whitening gel to make your teeth whiter, your dentist might suggest you to avoid consumption of items which can stain your teeth.
If you have recently reshaped or replaced one of your chipped teeth, visit a dentist and he will let you know whether you are the right candidate for teeth whitening. They even know that the results you can reap by whitening natural teeth will be different to how your teeth will look after whitening teeth with dental restorations or fillings.
There has been a recent increase in the number of people choosing home teeth whitening treatment as the procedure is both easy and affordable. A custom-made tray is filled with a whitening gel and worn for short periods while you sleep or during the daytime. The dentist will take impressions of your teeth before customising the shape of the tray so you can wear it comfortably. The custom-made trays are generally made using flexible plastic.
Taking care of your teeth after whitening is not as easy as you think. Your dentist might advise you to make some changes in your dietary habits and avoid food which can lead to stains on your teeth especially during the whitening procedure and they will recommend regular topping up which only involves buying extra gels and not having to go through the whole process again. You can also use a straw while drinking if you want to prevent re-staining your teeth. The more reputed your dental clinic is, the better results you can achieve.
