What's the Difference Between Teeth Whitening Treatments?

There are so many teeth whitening options I run across. Zoom, britesmile, laser whitening, etc. how do I find the right one/ best whitener?

A: Which Whitening System is the Best for Your Teeth?

YOU need to understand that all of the teeth whitening systems  done professionally work about the same and the result with most is about the same.  Take into consideration"

1.  How much time you have to spend for in office whitening?

2.   How sensitive your teeth are to the concentration of bleach?

3.  How much money you want to pay for this procedure?

After you answer these 3 questions most dentists can offer you a form that works well for the amount of time and money you want to spend. in our practice,  we offer chairside whtening with 35% concentration with a light, as well as the same product  but with take homet rays that are worn over a period of time which take a little longer to achieve the same effect but you can at less expense to you. We also offer Whiter Image take home and chairside treatment with whitening touch up pens.  One of the best products out that I am using is Kor Whitening which probably has the best results I have ever seen and it is a deep bleaching method that lasts.  Expensive but the best i have seen !  Many whitening methods to choose from so do your research and make sure you get what you are paying for!

Are There Food Restrictions After Professional Teeth Whitening?

Are dark foods or acidic foods not recommended after a professional teeth whitening? Is this the same guideline for using whitening strips at home?

A: If you want the best result possible, Yes there are foods & drinks to avoid..

I always recommend my patients follow the rule "if it will stain your clothes, it will stain your teeth".  Some of those foods & drinks include, but are not limited to red wine, cola, red sauces, coffee, dark teas, ketchup, mustard, soy sauce & also avoid tobacco products.  Other than that your safe, but if you absolutely cannot resist just make sure you floss & brush right after.  Remember following the after care instructions are crucial to achive the best result possible.

Is the GLO Whitening System Worth the Cost?

Is this an effective/safe home whitening treatment? (http://www.gloscience.com/store/) Or am I better off having my teeth professionally whitened ? My teeth aren't extremely yellow but I'd like them to be a bit more white.

A: I dont like home whitening kits..

Home whitening kits are a over the counter product that can be harmful if used incorrectly. The trays never fit great and your results will be marginal. Dental office whitening is safe, effective and will not damage the enamel. Crest white strips have the same problem..Very minimal results..!
