Everyone wants to have whiter, cleaner looking teeth, yet at one time it seemed like something accessible only to the rich and famous. Now though, teeth whitening or ‘bleaching’ is available to everyone. Whether it’s a toothpaste formula, an ‘at home’ kit, or a trip to the dentist, teeth whitening is a popular and very accessible procedure to give you back your pearly whites.
For the best and fastest results possible there are two main methods available. The first option can be done while you’re in the dentists chair in just an hour. The bleach is applied to your teeth and they’re exposed to a high intensity light which, according to the professionals at West Leederville Family Dental may make your smile several shades lighter.
The second option is an ‘at home’ kit where the dentist provides you with custom made trays for the bleach formula that you wear over your teeth for half an hour each day. The process takes between 7 and 14 days and requires maintenance sessions every six to nine months.
Both processes are relatively painless; some people do experience sensitivity which can be easily remedied with suitable products. According to Zoom Whitening, a dental supplier, the procedures have also undergone extensive research indicating it’s one of the safest cosmetic treatments available.
So as to whether ‘to bleach or not to bleach’, it seems bleaching has come out on top as a brilliant way to get a real Hollywood smile.
