What Follow-Up Questions Should You Ask Your Dentist About Tray Teeth Whitening?
Is Tray Teeth Whitening Right For Me?
You may have quite a few questions about tray teeth whitening. Here are some answers to the questions you may have. If you have additional questions that are not listed here, ask your dentist professional and they will have all the answers.
How safe is the tray based teeth whitening method?
Mostly all dental professionals believe that tray bleaching or whitening for teeth is relatively safe, fast, provides trouble-free ways to brighten teeth between two and five shades in a matter of few days.
How is tray-based teeth whitening different from other professional teeth whitening systems?
Below is a list of some professional whitening products dentists in choosing items for their professional whitening system. The kind of bleaching laser or light is enclosed in parentheses.
1. Brite Smile (gas plasma light/light emitting diode)
2. Laser Smile (a Biolase laser)
3. Luma Arch (halogen light)
4. Rembrandt Sapphire (plasma arc light)
5. Zoom! (metal halide light)
Usually, laser treatment is done by applying a 35% Hydrogen Peroxide gel-based solution on the teeth of the patient. After applying the solution on the exterior of the teeth, a light is held several inches away from the patient’s mouth to trigger the peroxide component of the gel. There are manufacturers and dentists who advertise that this method works better than tray teeth whitening method. There are no actual data completed to support their claims. Actually, after a year of usual lifestyle habits (drinking tea, colas, coffee, smoking, etc.) treatments using laser-accompanied whitening gel are disregarded. This will cost you more money to have the same treatment performed on your teeth again.
On the other hand, with the custom-made “mouthpieces”, you can have your usual lifestyle habits for a year and complete touch-ups one day roughly alternately every 3-6 months to take off the new stain economically.
Nevertheless, both methods can quickly whiten teeth to your liking. Discuss both methods of tray-based teeth whitening and professional teeth whitening with your dental professional to see what method is best for a bright smile.
