What kinds of new beginnings do you want for 2019? How about a brighter, more confident smile? Sure, you could opt for commercial whitening products from the store, but they won\u2019t give you the look you\u2019re after. Professional teeth whitening can give you the results you\u2019ve dreamed of! Here\u2019s what you need to know to get <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dpmgeneraldentistry.com\/teeth-whitening.html\">teeth whitening<\/a> in Hamden.<!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>How Professional Teeth Whitening Works<\/h2>\n<p>Most teeth whitening solutions use either hydrogen or carbamide peroxide to bleach the stains on your teeth. The key is the concentration and the duration of treatment. Over-the-counter products use a very low concentration and therefore do end in the same results that professional whitening treatments offer. In contrast, in-office solutions contain a high concentration and need only a little time to take effect, while take-home trays sit in between\u2014needing more time than in-office solutions but still deliver dramatic results over time.<\/p>\n<h2>In-Office Whitening<\/h2>\n<p>For in-office whitening, the dentist first records the shade of your teeth. Then they isolate your teeth using gauze and retractors to keep the teeth dry and your cheeks, lips, and tongue away from the whitening solution. Then the dentist coats the front of your teeth with the solution and typically uses a curing light or laser to activate it. Depending on the case, they may reapply occasionally. After about 60 minutes, your teeth will be rinsed, and you\u2019ll get to see the final product. Your dentist may also apply a fluoride solution if your teeth feel sensitive.<\/p>\n<h2>Benefits of In-Office Whitening<\/h2>\n<p>There are several advantages to in-office whitening solutions, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It gives quick results.<\/li>\n<li>It is supervised and performed by a trained professional.<\/li>\n<li>It can whiten your teeth up to ten shades.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Take-Home Whitening<\/h2>\n<p>Although the process starts with documenting your original shade in the dentist\u2019s office, take-home whitening occurs at night when you apply and wear custom-made trays for between 30 and 60 minutes. After about two weeks, you should see the same results as the in-office treatment.<\/p>\n<h2>Benefits of Take-Home Whitening<\/h2>\n<p>Take-home whitening solutions have their own advantages:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It is convenient and can be done anywhere.<\/li>\n<li>It usually causes less tooth sensitivity because the solution isn\u2019t as highly concentrated.<\/li>\n<li>Although it takes more time, than in-office treatments, you can get the same results.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Candidacy for Professional Teeth Whitening<\/h2>\n<p>Professional teeth whitening isn\u2019t right for everyone. For example, if you have crowns or tooth-colored fillings, particularly on your front teeth, it may not be a good idea to use professional teeth whitening to bleach your teeth. Also, if you have cavities, gum disease, or other oral health issues, your concern should be focused on fixing those issues first, rather than your teeth\u2019s color. However, most people with permanent teeth and good oral health are good candidates for teeth whitening.<\/p>\n<p>No matter which professional whitening solution you choose, this year you can enjoy your new, bright smile. It will help you feel more confident to tackle all the rest of your New Year\u2019s goals. Make 2019 a year to remember. Take the first step and talk to your dentist in Hamden to see if teeth whitening is right for you.<\/p>\n<h2>About the Practice<\/h2>\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dpmgeneraldentistry.com\/contact-us.html\">D\u2019Andrea and Pantera<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dpmgeneraldentistry.com\/meet-the-dentists.html\">dentists<\/a> and staff have built their practice on trust, integrity, compassion, and outstanding customer service.
