I really want my teeth to shine. I would like to know what procedures the television stars use to keep their teeth white. I am 29 and after all of the years of drinking coffee, I am even afraid to smile! Thanks to all for your help.

Take home kits are really good. They are less expensive but do the same job.

There are many ways, here is a comparison between the popular ones: http://the-dental-makeover.com/whiten-teeth-to-promote-confidence/
ReplyDeleteCelebrity and TV stars all have the same cosmetic dentistry that is available to the average person - they just pay more because the celebrity dentist has great marketing/attraction.
ReplyDeleteDo you ever go to the dentist? Ever had a Scale & Polish which would clean your teeth and remove stains? Maybe try this first and see what your teeth look like... you'd be surprised by the results. Dentists always do a Scale & Polish before they do teeth whitening so you might as well just as for that first. It's cheaper and you won't get any sensitivity.
Salons are providing whitening these days... pretty risky. Go to a dentist because they will see if you're acceptable for treatment and that you don't have any other complications which need prior attention. Otherwise your oral health could get worse. Plus they can provide an overall smile makeover solution.
Teeth are stained by the foods and drinks we consume. Do you smoke? Smoking further stains teeth and the natural bright, white shade becomes darkened. Teeth whitening is a successful and simple method of lightening the colour of your teeth. The degree of whiteness achieved will vary from patient to patient and with the type of bleaching process chosen. Whether your teeth stay white and bright depends on your diet and smoking habits.
You're best having a combination of both 1 hour in-surgery power/laser whitening for immediate effect and then using the custom Home Whitening Kit for greater and longer lasting results.
Search for a dentist in your local area and see what they offer on their websites. Ask the dentist how many cases they have done and always ask to see Real Patient before & after photos (not stock photos!).
You should definitely visit a dentist for the Home Whitening Kit (which most if not all dentists can provide). A custom made mouth tray is created (unlike the off the shelf products which do not fit). A whitening gel is placed in the tray which you then wear whilst asleep or for short periods during the day. Results are normally seen over 2 weeks.
Some dentists offer Power Whitening in the surgery chair otherwise known as 1-hour Whitening or Laser Whitening.
The leading professional dental brands are:
ZOOM! and Enlighten
With ZOOM! Teeth Whitening your teeth can be lightened immediately using this technique which is conducted in the practice.
ZOOM 1-hour power whitening can whiten teeth by up to several shades, brightening your teeth dramatically to its natural shade. Your lips and gums are covered and a gel is applied to your teeth. A special light is positioned over your teeth to activate the gel, which gently penetrates your teeth, breaking up stains and discolouration. Whiter, brighter teeth in less than an hour!
Enlighten teeth whitening works by increasing the tooth's permeability to oxygen which breaks down stain molecules. It is a combination treatment meaning that there is a 2 week home treatment followed by a 1 hour visit at the dentist.
Where are you based? I can recommend a dentist near you...
Good luck!
