ALTERNATIVES WITH TEETH WHITENING:

If you are interested in having your teeth whitened, there are NUMEROUS options available today, such as tooth pastes, whitening strips, whitening gels, etc. With so many options, it's no wonder why so many are confused and frustrated. Many Americans are spending hundreds, sometimes thousands of dollars, trying out various methods and products to whiten their teeth. According to an October 2006 report by NBC's "Today Show", last year (2005), Americans spent more than $1.4 billion on over-the-counter whiteners! And, many of these consumers are not even seeing the results they want and deserve from over-the-counter methods.

VARIOUS ALTERNATIVES WITH TEETH WHITENING:

Dentist Supervised Gel/Tray: With a dentist-supervised at-home bleaching product, the dentist will take an impression of your teeth and custom make you a mouthpiece tray to fit your teeth exactly. Because it is customized to your teeth, there is maximum contact between the whitening gel, which is applied to the mouthpiece tray, and your teeth.

In-Office Bleaching: During an in-office bleaching, the whitening product is applied directly to the teeth by a qualified, professional dentist. These bleaching products can be used in combination with heat, a special light, and/or a laser. The light and/or heat actually accelerates the whitening process

Veneers: Veneers are thin, custom-made shells crafted of tooth-colored materials. These are designed by dental professionals to cover the front side of a tooth.

Over-the-Counter Gels: A non-customized thin mouth guard is used to hold a low concentration of whitening gel next to the teeth for a set period of time.

Brush-on Whitening: After brushing your teeth at night (or in the morning), this formula is lightly brushed on each tooth.

Whitening Strips: These are very thin strips (virtually invisible) that are coated with a peroxide-based whitening gel.

Whitening Toothpastes: Whitening toothpastes can help remove surface stains only and will contain hydrogen peroxide.

Bonding: With bonding, tooth-colored materials are applied by a dental professional, or bonded, to the tooth surface. Bonding can improve the appearance of teeth that are chipped, broken, cracked, stained, or have spaces between them.

Dental Crowns: A dental crown is a prosthetic tooth designed by a dental professional and is usually created by a lab technician.
