A bright and shining smile is the key to confidence. Let’s face it – who doesn’t want a sparkling smile? A clean mouth, white teeth, and a great-smelling breath can help you stand out from the crowd.
Having the perfect smile is so important for some people that they spend thousands of dollars on cosmetic procedures. However, these are the most extreme cases; you don’t need to spend as much to get a great-looking smile!
Here are 3 of the most popular teeth whitening procedures that can transform your teeth from dull to dazzling.
LASER TEETH WHITENING
Laser whitening is one of the most popular procedure to get a bright smile, mainly because it can lighten your teeth by several shades under an hour. This procedure includes covering your teeth in a chemical containing a whitening agent. It isn’t until a laser is used that the whitening agent activates. The longer your teeth are exposed to the laser, the whiter they will get. It’s essential to know that laser whitening only works on natural teeth, so it can’t help crowns or veneers. Also, this is a fairly safe procedure so you don’t need to worry about its effects.
GEL WHITENING
The special thing about gel whitening treatment is that it can be used at home. However, most people prefer to get it done by a professional to maximize results, and ensure that the treatment is conducted in the safest possible way. In this procedure, a plastic tray similar to a mouth guard is filled with whitening gel and worn on your teeth. With the active ingredients being carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide, you can expect to get some great results!
INTERNAL BLEACHING
As the name suggests, this procedure involves whitening the teeth from the inside out. Internal bleaching is quite an unconventional method in comparison to other teeth whitening procedures. However, this method is definitely very thorough. Since this procedure is quite invasive and has a high level of involvement, only those who are in need of a root can get internal bleaching. Also, this method is great only for your problematic teeth, not your whole mouth.
