Teeth Whitening in Alice

Teeth stains are virtually inevitable due to our consumption of certain foods and drinks including soda, coffee and wine. In recent years, advanced teeth whitening technology has enabled dentists to whiten teeth without adversely affecting the tooth structure.

Almost all whitening methods are similar in concept, but some are more effective because of the way the whitening product is delivered to the teeth. Another contributing factor is the concentration of the material. This is why less potent over-the-counter whitening systems usually don’t give patients the results they are hoping for.

The two primary methods of professional whitening are tray whitening and in-office whitening. With tray whitening, an impression is taken, and a custom tray is made for the patient. Then a supply of whitening gel is given to the patient, and they wear the tray for a few hours each day until the desired result is achieved.

In-office whitening is the most efficient means of whitening. There are several procedures that can be used, but the process is very similar across these methods. The general premise is that you can have your teeth whitened in one session and achieve significant results. Your dentist can give you more detailed information and help you decide which method is more suitable for you and your teeth.
