Office Teeth Bleaching Treatment – Most Ideal for Sparkling White Teeth

By: Joseph Gold

Teeth whitening can drastically change your appearance and at the same time boost your self esteem and confidence levels. But choosing the right treatment at right dental center is quite challenging. Of late several hundreds of dental centers have sprouted up. Of these Encino friendly dental center is quite famous for its wide range of services. Whitening teeth using peroxide bleaching compounds has become very popular these days. While there are many variations in this whitening technique, they can be broadly classified into professional teeth whitening treatment that is performed by a dentist at his office and at-home teeth whitening where bleaching is performed by the individual on his own.

Encino friendly dental center is known for its office teeth bleaching treatment in which the dentist will isolate the gum areas by placing a gel or special shield in order to protect the soft tissue. Later he uses a 15% to 35% Hydrogen peroxide for applying on the teeth. A laser or special light may also be used to increase the whitening effect. The bleaching gel is then washed and this procedure is repeated several times.

On the other hand an at-home tooth bleaching typically requires the user to perform whitening treatment daily over a series of weeks. While the number of office teeth bleaching treatments that are performed are limited to say one or two. Moreover, it has been proved in an estimate that whitening affect given by one hour of in-office teeth bleaching treatment is similar to one or two weeks of at-home tray based whitening.

While both these approaches offer similar whitening results, there are distinct advantages and disadvantages to each of them. If you believe in instant results, then you may go for office teeth bleaching otherwise known as chair side teeth whitening since it is performed directly at the dentists office. This treatment process can whiten your teeth within an hour.

Some of the advantages and disadvantages of at-home teeth whitening treatment is that the individual must be capable of performing whitening system techniques and instructions on his own, he must have enough time and intention to perform this treatment, you need to have lot of patience as this treatment may take few weeks or even months before the final results are visible. Last and most important of all is that an at-home teeth whitening treatment costs you less when compared to office teeth bleaching treatment.

One of the most repeatedly asked question by most patients is: which is best, having professional in office teeth bleaching treatment performed by dentist or using an at-home whitener? Peroxide based teeth whitening is generally considered to be a function of two factors. The concentration of peroxide whitener and the amount of period this whitener has been in contact with the surface of the teeth. It may be quite surprising to know that in order to give the same degree of lightening, a teeth whitening system can either use a low concentration whitener for extended period of time (as is used in home teeth whitening products) or higher concentration whitener for comparatively shorter period of time (method used in office teeth bleaching treatment). Both these methods can produce the same degree of lightening in varying time durations. Hence neither method is necessarily “the best”.
