Who is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?

There are several things we need to consider when determining if someone is a good candidate for teeth whitening, including the health of their gums, the cause of the stains, and how severe they are. With that said, most patients who want a brighter smile can achieve the results they desire with our in-office and take-home teeth whitening treatments. So, if you want your pearly whites to live up to their name again, don’t hesitate to schedule a consultation at our Athens dental office!

How Does Teeth Whitening Work?

The process begins the same way: with a consultation. However, the actual stain-lifting process will look a little different depending on whether you choose an in-office or take-home whitening treatment. Below, you can find a little more information on each.

Take-Home Teeth Whitening

If you want to brighten your teeth from the comfort of your own home, you’ll be happy to hear that we offer Opalescence take-home kits! In this case, we’ll give you everything you need, including detailed instructions on when and how to use the trays. After two weeks of consistent use, you’ll have a noticeably brighter smile!

In-Office Teeth Whitening

While some patients prefer to gradually whiten their teeth from home, others would prefer to get the results they desire in a single visit. If that’s the case for you, then consider in-office teeth whitening! We’ll handle every step of the stain-lifting process for you, including applying the whitener evenly to your teeth, so you can relax comfortably in the treatment chair.
