Best teeth whitening kits to take home vs. in-office teeth whitening treatments

There are many systems that are used to whiten teeth on the market.

Systems like OTC gels, rinses, trays, strips, whitening toothpaste, and other whitening products that can be provided by a dentist. Teeth whitening is best for those that have healthy, unrestored teeth and gums.

People that have a yellow tint to their teeth have the best response to teeth whitening. Having coloured or stained teeth can bring about low self-esteem, but whitening of the teeth is a procedure that is not recommended for everyone.

This is why our experts at Muswell Hill Smile recommend consulting a dentist first, before embarking on any type of teeth whitening procedure to ensure no harm is caused.

Recommended Teeth Whitening Kits To Take Home

It is a well-known fact that most of our habits, like drinking coffee, soda, tea, wine, eating sweets or smoking, are not beneficial for our teeth.

So, to maintain the shining white nature of your teeth, you will have to drop those habits, most especially smoking.

There are three types of teeth whitening kits; the ones that remove stains by bleaching your teeth, the ones that physically scrape the stains off, and the ones that blast LED light onto your teeth. But the kits that make use of LED light have their effect fade off in a short while.

These are the best teeth whitening kits you should opt for to get your teeth whitened at home.

In-Office Teeth Whitening Treatment

You don’t have to go through much stress to get your teeth whitened as it can be done in mere hours in your dentist’s office. If you need to maximize your time, or you want a bright smile as soon as possible for an upcoming event, then you should check out Muswell Hill Smile and their in-office teeth whitening options.

This is often the fastest and most effective way to get your teeth whitened, plus it is completed by a professional to ensure that the treatment is successful.

At Muswell Hill Smile in North London, our trained dentists apply the whitening product directly to give you full teeth whitening in one. Within one visit to a skilled dentist, you can have your teeth whitened and avoid complications such as injury to the gum. This process can take up to an hour or two. These are the various steps taken when performing an in-office teeth whitening:

• A record of the current shade of your teeth is first taken before the dentist proceeds to polish your teeth with pumice to get rid of plaque.
• Your mouth will then be isolated with gauze and a barrier placed along your gumline.
• Your teeth are then coated with a whitening solution, just the front surface. The peroxide in the solution is then activated with a curing laser.
• Your teeth will be rinsed when the optimal shade has been achieved.

In-office whitening treatment is a speedy and safe procedure for quick and positive results. However, we recommend to follow it up every now and then with home teeth whitening or a repeat visit to keep your bright smile.
