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!

How Long Do You Need to Wait After Brushing to Whiten Your Teeth?

It seems most at home whitening kits say to not use them immediately after brushing your teeth. However, of course I want my teeth clean before I bleach so I get the best & most even result possible. How long does a person need to wait after brushing to start their whitening?

A: How long to wait after brushing to whiten your teeth?

Yes your teeth should be clean before whitening, so rinse well to make sure all of the toothpaste is gone and then use the take home whitening.  You mention that you are using a take home whitening kit but you did not mention whether it came from your dentist or purchased at a store.  You can actually get take home whitening kitsfrom your dentist with trays made to fit your teeth with a stronger percentage of bleach than you can purchase at the store for about the same price.  It is safer to have a dentist at least examine your teeth before you apply whitening since it can be very painful if you have decay that you are not aware of or irritated gum tissue,
