Who is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?
Unlike other cosmetic solutions that are available, teeth whitening is often a good option for anyone who wants to enhance their appearance. Although it is safe to use and highly effective, it does require a scheduled consultation with a member of our team before moving forward.
When examining your smile, we will determine if there are any small signs of decay or cavities that might exist. We’ll also check for gum disease. If your oral health needs improvement, we will administer appropriate treatment before teeth whitening is performed.
We’ll formulate a treatment plan and cost estimate to show you what you can expect when it comes to how we treat stains and discoloration as well as what you can expect to pay. We’ll also share special offers to help lower any out-of-pocket expenses you might incur.
How Does Teeth Whitening Work?
Teeth whitening comes in various forms; however, at Grand Dental – Lake Zurich, we offer both in-office and take-home whitening. A clearer explanation of each is provided below:
Take-Home Teeth Whitening
Using Opalescence take-home teeth whitening kits, we will provide you with customized trays made from impressions taken of your teeth. Combining them with high-grade bleaching gel, you will wear the trays a certain amount of time each day. Within two weeks, you can expect to see dramatic results.
In-Office Teeth Whitening
With Zoom teeth whitening, our professionals will apply the bleaching agent to your teeth before using a specialized blue light to activate the peroxide found inside the whitening solution. Stains and discoloration will be lifted with results showing in just one hour.
