Everything You Need to Know About Professional Teeth Whitening
A smile that is white and bright gives you the confidence you need to live your best life. Professional teeth whitening is a cosmetic procedure that is safe, very effective and offers long-lasting results. In Manteca, California, Drs. Mircea Mitu and George D’Louhy of Family Dental Center of Manteca can whiten your teeth during a single visit and provide you with detailed instructions you can follow between visits to keep your smile looking its best.
Is professional teeth whitening safe?
The whitening agents your dentist uses to remove stains from your teeth are safe. They are formulated to ensure you get the best results without causing any damage to the enamel of your teeth. Many over-the-counter teeth whitening kits contain harsh bleaching agents that can weaken your tooth enamel if used too frequently. Having your teeth professionally whitened is the safest, most effective way to maintain a beautiful smile.
How long does a professional teeth whitening procedure take?
A professional teeth whitening procedure normally takes less than an hour to complete. Your dentist will often do the procedure after cleaning your teeth and giving you a thorough dental examination. The effects of the whitening agent will be more pronounced if your teeth are clean. They will look more natural, and the results will last much longer. Your dentist will explain the steps involved in whitening your teeth and approximately how long it will take to achieve the desired results.

How long will the results of professional teeth whitening last?
If you have your teeth professionally whitened, you can expect the results to last at least 6 to 12 months. The results may last even longer if you avoid foods that stain your teeth. Your dentist will give you a list of things you can do to maintain your smile and keep it looking its best for many months to come. The level of care you provide for your teeth will also determine how long the results will last. Brushing and flossing are just the beginning.
Can at-home kits be used in conjunction with professional teeth whitening procedures?
Your dentist may recommend using at-home kits between visits to help maintain the level of brightness you want. The at-home kits you get from your dentist use the same bleaching agents as their in-office kits, providing the same effective results. You will receive everything needed to maintain your bright, beautiful smile. Follow your dentist’s instructions for the best results.
How should you maintain the results from a professional teeth whitening procedure?
The key to maintaining your results from a teeth whitening procedure is to avoid foods, drinks, and tobacco products known to cause stains and discolorations. It’s also important that you brush your teeth every day and schedule a visit to your dentist at least once a year. Call the Family Dental Center of Manteca and schedule a dental exam with Drs.
