With the number of products and services that results in whiter teeth, people become confused with what to choose. These products and dental procedures differ in cost and pace in providing results. While the products used to be strictly classified with professional and home use, nowadays, products that are of the ?professional use? quality are now in the market. These products provide results closer to the professional dental treatment compared with the ?home use? products like toothpastes.
If you are more into fast results, the advised dental procedure is chairside teeth whitening. It is usually performed at a dentist's office. Also called teeth bleaching, this provides results in about an hour. The difference that can be seen in the result within an hour is four to six shades lighter, which depends on every individual.
Below are some facts that describe how it works.
-- Bleaching is performed with the use of a product that contains 15% to 35% of hydrogen peroxide in gel formula. Before this treatment is started, the gums are protected with a gel (some use a dental dam) that shields the soft gum tissues. After this, the dentist will apply to the teeth the hydrogen peroxide gel. To increase the whitening effect, a laser or a special light (of the same purpose as a laser) can be used. After a while, the gel is rinsed off. The application of protective gel and whitening agent is repeated several times. Right after the treatment, you will notice the impact of your teeth's new shade to your appearance. This treatment provides a ?natural white teeth? result, in just about an hour.
-- In case you have white fillings, it is advised that you replace them with a shade that does not go against the shade of your teeth after bleaching. After the procedure, you might notice that your teeth sensitivity has increased. This is to be expected and is a natural reaction of your teeth after the treatment. The degree of teeth sensitivity however varies from one person to another. Nonetheless, the sensitivity will disappear within 24 hours after the treatment.
The advantage of an in-office whitening treatment is that you, as the patient, are sure that only your teeth will get in contact with the hydrogen peroxide. Also, with the dentist performing the treatment, he or she will know if the teeth in contact with the agent can still take another round of the treatment.
Before deciding, it is important that you consult with your dentist. Also, visit your dentist for check up and cleaning. It is only after these two procedures that your dentist can decide and advise you if you need a teeth whitening treatment. Your dentist will also advise you with what type of treatment is going to work best for you considering your current oral health.

Teeth Whitening System is recognized as the dominant world leader of in-office whitener, and is the only system used by the discerning teeth whitening clinician.
Babies are born with bright, white teeth. Yellow or grey dull teeth often simply come about with aging, but can specifically be a product of smoking cigarettes, chewing tobacco, smoking pipes and cigars, or drinking red wine, tea, coffee, cola, and other colored drinks. Some staining can be caused by medications during the time that teeth are forming. There are some people who have a darker color to their teeth naturally, but this patient is usually still a candidate for teeth whitening.
It is important to discuss the cause of the color of your teeth with your dentist, to get an accurate diagnosis. It is also very important to brush the teeth properly, twice a day, as staining from food can accumulate and cause the gradual yellowing of teeth. It has even been found that too much fluoride in drinking water can cause discoloration, as can a variety of rare health conditions.
These days it is becoming commonplace in our society for people who have badly stained teeth to get them whitened. Grungy, dirty-looking teeth can give a bad impression, both professionally and in personal situations.
Teeth can be brightened up to eight shades whiter in about an hour. The Zoom! whitening system is very simple and fast. Once the whitening gel is applied to the teeth, it is activated by a light source, which speeds up and increases the effectiveness of the gel's action. Usually, it takes only three 20-minute applications, and then you leave the office with a bright, new smile! So this fantastic solution can brighten up your dingy, grey or yellow teeth, with just one hour in the dental chair! You can have the smile you have always wanted!
All three Bright Side Dental locations also offer the home system, Nite White? whitening system. This process is commenced in the office and completed at home, in about two weeks! Initially, custom gel-holding trays are fitted for the mouth. The next day, the patient returns to the office and the trays are verified for size and fit. The Nite White take-home kit, including the powerful whitening gel, is dispensed and over the next fourteen days, the trays are worn either overnight or during the day. And within about two weeks you will have a much brighter, fresher smile!
Teeth whitening is an effective cosmetic dentistry option and is available at all three convenient Bright Side Dental offices including Sterling Heights, Canton and Livonia.
