Summer is a popular time for teeth whitening. Maybe it's the abundance of summer weddings, or the fact that people have more time to think about it when they're on vacation. Perhaps the drive to look a little better is inspired by an upcoming class reunion. Whatever the reason, many people choose teeth whitening as a way to perk up their looks for the summer. There are many ways to achieve that perfect shade, and each has its advantages.
Zoom! Instant Whitening: For the most immediate results, book an appointment for in-office whitening. During your appointment, your teeth will be coated with a whitening agent, which will be activated under the Zoom light and you'll walk out of the office with significantly brighter teeth. This costs a bit more than other methods, but if you're looking for immediate results or don't want to mess with trays, gels, or strips, Zoom whitening may be for you.
Custom Trays: Custom trays are another option. It's less expensive than instant whitening, and you'll achieve great results in a week or two. During your appointment, we'll take an impression of your teeth and make flexible trays that fit to your teeth. Twice a day, you'll apply the whitening gel to the trays and wear them for about 30 minutes. The result will usually last for several months.
Whitening Strips: You can also purchase pre-cut whitening strips over the counter. The whitening gel on these strips is typically weaker than the professional quality, so getting the shade you want will take a month or so. Because the over-the-counter strips aren't customized to your teeth, even coverage and tooth sensitivity can be issues, but this method is still an economical way to get good results.
