/24-7PressRelease/ - NEW YORK, NY, April 03, 2008 - Professional tooth whitening is the most popular cosmetic dentistry procedure today, and for good reason. In as little as a single office visit, your cosmetic dentist can whiten, brighten, and rejuvenate your smile, making you look younger, healthier, and more self confident.
Available in a variety of formulations and as office procedures or custom tailored take home kits, teeth whitening is an effective and affordable technique to make your smile dazzle.
When your cosmetic dentist evaluates you for a tooth whitening procedure, he or she will evaluate your teeth to determine what shade they are currently, and recommend a procedure for you based on the amount of whitening you require and on any personal preferences you have for the type of procedure.
In some cases, you may only need to whiten your teeth a few shades, your dentist may recommend either a take home kit or a conservative in-office procedure, which can accomplish the whitening you desire in a lower concentration formula.
In cases in which you require more whitening, your dentist may recommend either a procedure such as Brite Smile whitening, which is a light activated bleaching procedure that can be done in a single one hour office visit; or multiple treatments of another type of take home or in office procedure.
Take home whitening kits
For many cases where you only want your smile whitened a few shades, a professional take home whitening kit is the ideal solution. Unlike over the counter whitening kits, your cosmetic dentist can formulate just the whitening agent and the regimen that's right for you, and your whitening trays will be precisely custom fitted to prevent the chafing, discomfort, and irritation that one size fits all kits can cause.
Using this technique, you will be provided with explicit instructions for the frequency and duration of your treatments, so you can achieve optimal whitening results in the comfort of your own home.
In office whitening procedures
If you need maximum whitening, or simply want to get your teeth whitened in the shortest amount of time possible, there are a number of in office whitening procedures available that can achieve even extreme whitening results in as little as a single office visit.
Some of the procedures available include:
• Luma Arch whitening, which can whiten your teeth three to four shades in a single sixty to ninety minute office procedure. Using a specially formulated tooth whitening gel and a specially calibrated halogen light to activate the peroxide and enhance its whitening properties, the Luma Arch system is an excellent option for people who want to achieve moderate whitening in the shortest time possible.
• Brite Smile whitening is a state of the art in office whitening procedure, which can whiten teeth as many as nine shades in a single procedure that lasts just over an hour. Using a proprietary whitening formula and gas plasma light technology, the Brite Smile system is the gold standard of professional tooth whitening. For people who want extreme whitening results in a single dentist visit, Brite Smile is the ideal choice.
Whatever your whitening needs, and whatever your schedule, your cosmetic dentist can offer a solution that's just right for you.
