Get Summer Ready With A Brighter Smile
09/05/2023
A bright, white smile can boost your confidence and improve your appearance. If you’re looking for an easy and affordable way to achieve a brighter smile, at-home tooth whitening may be the right solution for you.
This cosmetic dentistry treatment is a popular choice for patients in Macclesfield Cheshire who want to whiten their teeth in the comfort of their own homes.
How At-Home Tooth Whitening Works
At-home tooth whitening involves using custom-fit trays filled with a whitening gel that you wear for a set period of time, typically an hour per day or overnight. The trays ensure that the gel is in close contact with your teeth, without irritating your gums or other oral tissues.
The whitening gel used in at-home treatments contains carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide, which work by breaking down stains and discoloration on the surface of your teeth. The length of the treatment depends on the severity of the stains and the desired level of whitening.
Why Choose At-Home Tooth Whitening?
At-home tooth whitening has several advantages over in-office treatments. First, it’s more convenient because you can perform the procedure at home at your own pace and schedule. Second, it’s more cost-effective than in-office treatments, but still produces similar results over time.
Tips for At-Home Tooth Whitening
If you’re considering at-home tooth whitening, here are some tips to help you achieve the best results:
- Consult with your dentist before starting any whitening treatment to ensure that it’s safe and appropriate for you.
- Choose a reputable brand of at-home whitening kit such as Boutique Whitening which is what we use here at Silk Dental
- Follow the instructions carefully and do not exceed the recommended treatment time to avoid tooth sensitivity and other oral health issues.
- Maintain good oral hygiene habits, including brushing twice a day and flossing daily, to keep your teeth looking their best.
At-home tooth whitening is a simple and effective way to achieve a brighter, more confident smile.
