I have sensitive teeth. Can I still get that whitening effect?
Even if you have sensitive teeth, Sapphire whitening is a feasible option. It is designed to suit all patients and consists of Sapphire whitening gel, which helps in combating the sensation in your teeth. Still, it is recommended to refer to your dentist to know if Sapphire tooth whitening procedure is best for your needs.
How long will it take to see results after treatment?
It will usually take approximately 30 minutes to enhance your smile after the whitening process is completed. Without a doubt, Sapphire is among the best and most effective procedures for teeth whitening available now.
What are the take-home whitening methods?
- Tray Whitening: It is a professional whitening method, utilizing whitening gel and custom-made trays. You can obtain both of these from your dental practitioner. Proper application of this method will brighten your natural teeth themselves, unlike strips. It is also very comfortable due to the solution being contained in a fixture. The procedure involves placing the hydrogen peroxide-based whitening gel in custom-fitted trays in which your teeth are immersed for a period of time. As it is applied to the teeth, it breaks down into hydroxyradicals, which ultimately brightens and whitens the surface enamel. This entire tray whitening process usually requires between 10 to 14 days to complete. The results can, however, be observed after only 3 to 5 days after initiating the treatment.
- Paint-On Teeth Whiteners: Among the many over-the-counter methods for teeth whitening, “paint-on” teeth whiteners are readily accessible for the user. They are cost-effective, and available over-the-counter from most of the popular pharmacies and retail store chains. However, they lag behind in efficacy as compared to the aforementioned professional technique or whitening strips. The paint-on teeth whiteners use a gel for the whitening purpose, which you can apply with the help of a tooth brush. The gel solidifies into a film which covers the teeth, and is eventually dissolved in the mouth. It is recommended to take a suggestion from a qualified and experienced dentist before you start using this whitener.
- Teeth Whitening Strips: Whitening strips are one of the most common methods for teeth whitening. These are made of plastic (polyethylene), and hence are thin and flexible. One side of the strip consists of a thin hydrogen peroxide film. Usually, different strips are available to whiten upper and lower teeth. They are placed across the teeth and pressed in place gently to make sure that they touch each of your teeth. It is suggested to wear the strips twice daily for up to 30 minutes, or as instructed by a dental professional.
- Whitening Toothpaste and Mouthwash: These are the cheapest options to whiten your teeth. Toothpastes and mouthwashes have specific “whitening” capabilities and use mild abrasives to scrub away surface stains. However, one should not expect these products to restore the natural color of your teeth, as their effectiveness is limited. They can brighten your teeth only up to a certain degree, and the effects are quite brief. For better results, we highly recommend choosing professional whitening procedures for the best overall value.
