Need to get a whiter smile before the big day? Our Addison, IL, dental team can help.
There are so many ways in which people can whiten teeth nowadays….so, how are you supposed to know which treatment option is right for you? Maybe you’ve tried over-the-counter products but they just aren’t giving you the results you had hoped. This is when turning to our Addison, IL, cosmetic dentist Dr. Mohamed Waheed may be the best and safest way to get a visibly brighter smile.
Here are some of the top questions related to professional teeth whitening,
What makes professional teeth whitening different from commercial whitening?
While the whitening method is the same the difference lies in the treatment process and the bleaching gel. The bleaching gel that our Addison, IL, dentist uses has a very high concentration of hydrogen or carbamide peroxide (much higher than what you will find over-the-counter). This means that we can remove stubborn stains in a much shorter amount of time than commercial products can.
Furthermore, since you are turning to a dental professional you also know that you will get a safe and effective treatment every time. This can provide patients with the peace of mind they need to ensure that they get amazing results without causing damage to their teeth or gums.
What are my whitening options?
We offer two ways for patients living in the Chicagoland area to get a whiter smile. Chairside or in-office teeth whitening is the fastest way to get a brighter smile. Our dentist and his team will do all the work and in about one hour you will have incredible results without having to lift a finger. If you want visible results fast (maybe you have an important event coming up), then in-office whitening is the way to go.
We also offer at-home whitening, in which we create custom-fitted whitening trays for each patient to ensure even, perfect results every time you whiten at home. This offers an easy on-the-go option for patients who would rather whiten their teeth on their own time.
How quickly will I see results?
This will depend on which whitening method you opt for. In-office whitening can give most patients the results they want in just a single session, getting some teeth up to five or more shades whiter than they were before. It usually takes about 1-2 weeks to see results with at-home whitening.
How long will my results last?
You play a major role in how long your results last. By maintaining good oral hygiene and avoiding foods and drinks that could stain teeth your results could last up to two years. Even those who get in-office whitening can also get our at-home whitening system for touchups and to prevent new stains from forming.
