Find out your teeth brightening options in Atchison, KS.
If you find yourself hiding your yellowing smile, then teeth whitening might be right for you! Of course, the question remains, "Which whitening treatment should you choose?" Fortunately, our cosmetic dentist, Dr. Amish Patel, can talk you through the different options to help you decide the appropriate treatment! Here are some of the most commonly used whitening options available today:
Whitening Strips & Kits
You can easily find teeth whitening strips and kits at the local oral care aisle of your pharmacy. You don’t need a prescription and you don’t need a dentist; just follow the instructions and you’re on your way to a whiter smile. But is it really that simple?
The difference between these whitening kits and professional whitening is the strength of the whitening gel. The amount of active ingredient that whitens teeth (carbamide peroxide and hydrogen peroxide) is much smaller in whitening kits than professional whitening. This means that you’ll need to wear your whitening trays longer and for a week or more before you see results. If your stains are minimal and this is your first time whitening your smile you may want to choose this option first just to see if it works.
Professional Teeth Whitening
If stains are more severe or if whitening strips just aren’t doing the trick, then it’s time to consult with our dentist in Atchison, KS. Dr. Patel has helped patients get whiter, more beautiful smiles through both at-home and in-office whitening methods. Those looking to get significant and fast results often choose in-office whitening. It’s convenient, safe, and you’ll see results in about one hour!
If you’re still on a tight budget, we can offer you an at-home whitening system with custom-made whitening trays for better results. With professional at-home whitening, you’ll begin to see results after just a week of use.
