Who is the Best Dentist in Charleston for Teeth Whitening?
Teeth are naturally white and lustrous. But over time, even with good oral hygiene, your diet, lifestyle, environmental factors, and wear can reduce that natural brilliance. Teeth whitening restores it.
There are basically four ways to whiten your smile:
- Over the counter toothpastes, mouth rinses, and strips. These remove some surface staining.
- Custom-fit trays you use at home with prescription grade gel for deeper whitening in about two weeks.
- In-office whitening (deep bleaching or laser whitening) for dramatic results on even serious discoloration in about an hour (this however does not last long term.)
- Combination of in-office treatment and take home trays to maintain professional results long-term.
Most dentists are familiar with these methods. But teeth whitening is not a one-size-fits-all process.
The best dentists in Charleston go a step further, taking time to understand your needs and goals before designing a customized plan of whitening for you. That plan depends on the condition of your teeth, your budget, and the reasons why you want a whiter smile.
Professional whitening is often the first step in a smile makeover, or preceding any significant cosmetic dental treatment. Your dentist matches restorations like crowns and dentures to your natural shade. However, those restorations do not respond to future whitening. So whitening is an important step to be sure your restoration continues to match.
An attractive smile is beneficial in social and business situations. But you may not want others with whom you interact daily to see a big change overnight. Take home trays are a subtle solution.
If you’ve simply got to look great bleaching is the way to go. We can brighten your teeth eight to ten shades over the course of a month. Whitening is great for special events – class reunions, weddings, family photo shoots, or business presentations.
