IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A WAY TO WHITEN THE STAINS IN YOUR SMILE, it is always safer and more effective to choose a professional teeth whitening system under the direction of a dentist. Though in-office teeth whitening systems are available, most Smile For Life dentists also offer at-home teeth whitening systems. The media is flooded with advertisements for do-it-yourself remedies, but some of these treatments can be damaging to your teeth and ineffective at fully whitening. With Smiles For Life, you can enjoy a professional at-home teeth whitening system under the care of a dentist while making a difference in the life of a child.
While an at-home teeth whitening system is often less expensive than an in-office professional teeth whitening system, they are still very effective though they generally take a little longer.
At-Home Teeth Whitening Procedure:
A dental cleaning and oral exam are both recommended prior to professional teeth whitening. Your dentist can help you determine whether you qualify for at-home teeth whitening.
After your initial consultation, you will be fitted with custom-molded teeth whitening trays and given a teeth whitening formula.
With Opalescence Tooth Whitening Systems, the tooth whitening formula is applied directly to the whitening trays, which are worn nightly or daily, respectively, until the desired shade is reached. The teeth whitening formula contains active ingredients, which slowly penetrate through the tooth enamel and bleach out any stains. Length of treatment varies depending on the current tooth shade and desired results.
When you choose a dentist who participates with Smiles For Life for your in-office or at-home teeth whitening system, 100% of your teeth whitening cost goes towards benefiting children all over the world. Find a Smiles For Life participating dentist in your area today!
