Teeth Whitening: Safe and Effective Ways to Brighten Your Smile

/in /by

Introduction

A white, radiant smile boosts confidence, but choosing the right whitening method is essential. At Wareham Family Dental, we offer safe and effective professional whitening treatments tailored to your needs.

At-Home vs. Professional Whitening

At-home options like whitening strips and toothpaste can remove surface stains but may not provide long-lasting results.
Professional whitening treatments use stronger bleaching agents for a brighter smile in just one session.

How Professional Whitening Works

  1. Preparation – Teeth are cleaned to remove plaque.
  2. Application of Whitening Gel – A professional-strength bleaching agent is applied.
  3. Light Activation – Some treatments use LED light to enhance results.
  4. Immediate Results – Teeth can appear several shades lighter after one session.

How to Maintain a Whiter Smile

  • Avoid staining foods and drinks like coffee, tea, and red wine.
  • Use a straw to minimize contact with teeth.
  • Practice good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing daily.
  • Schedule touch-up treatments to maintain results.
