Teeth whitening has been around for thousands of years, and with good reason. White teeth are considered to be a hallmark of good health and prosperity, and can make a very positive impression on people that you meet. That’s why the teeth whitening industry is so popular. It’s also why there are products that don’t exactly deliver the same quality results for Marshfield, Massachusetts patients as a qualified cosmetic dentist can. Some of them include:

“Whitening” tooth pastes and rinses make a lot of claims about giving you lighter shades for your teeth, but they aren’t always as effective, and some are even less effective at doing so than a regular tooth paste that has baking soda in its ingredients.

• At-Home Systems have fairly shaky results. They can cost a lot of money for an off-the-shelf product, and they don’t always deliver on their results as stated. Most at home whiteners use a tray-based system that can require several weeks of treatment before you see any results. Despite any testimonials that you may see on the box about the product being “dentist recommended,” you’ll always get better whitening results from a cosmetic dentist than you will from a box system.

Effective tooth whitening options include:

• “Zoom” Whitening, which is one of the best available. Zoom utilizes a whitening gel that is placed on the teeth, followed by exposure to a heat lamp for about 15 minutes or so. The entire procedure itself takes about 45 minutes, which means it can be performed during your average office lunch break, and can get your teeth 2 to 4 shades lighter in a single session. There’s no risks involved with Zoom, and it’s a great cosmetic option for people of all ages.

• KOR Whitening System, which is an extensive system tha t uses bleaching and other products to lift stains out of teeth and provide a brighter, more vibrant smile. KOR utilizes molds of your own teeth to create trays that you will wear overnight for two weeks, not unlike the “at home” systems, but with a far more efficient and effective list of ingredients, and with check ups for whitening from your dentist to make sure everything is on track.

With the above methods, not only will you get brighter teeth in less time, but you will also get them at an affordable cost, and with a pain free experience. Among almost every cosmetic procedure, teeth whitening is far and away the most relaxing. You can even listen to music or watch television while they work, or just lounge around at home. It’s all up to the individual patient and their needs.
