Using this system will provide the same end results as in-chair whitening but will take longer as it is done gradually in your own time each day. This option is also more cost-effective.

Maintain your newly whitened smile by staying away from the consumption of products that have the ability to stain teeth, such as coffee, tea and red wine. However, a straw can help liquids bypass your teeth, which prevents staining. General good oral hygiene practices such as regular brushing and flossing, as well as regular check-ups, will also help you keep your teeth white. Do teeth whiteners damage existing dental restorations? The effect of teeth whitening treatments on your existing dental restorations has never been damaging. Teeth whitening treatments that contain 10% carbamide peroxide have not shown to be damaging to your fillings. However, the issue is more about whether or not crowns, fillings, dentures and bridges are able to benefit at all from teeth whitening as they do not lighten with any amount of treatment. How white will my teeth go? Just like the rest of your body, your teeth are completely unique and so the results of teeth whitening treatments will never be exactly the same for every patient. Usually, you can count on your teeth being brightened by anywhere between 5-8 shades, with 8 being the average. This will largely depend on the extent of the staining present in your teeth and the mineral content that they contain. Don’t forget to share this via Twitter, Google+, Pinterest and LinkedIn.
