But the truth is\nthat most people have to whiten their teeth to achieve a bright smile. One of\nthe most common questions people have is what type of teeth whitening in\nFriendswood is available, and whether it\u2019s worth it to have it done professionally.\nIn this blog, you\u2019ll find out why professional treatments provide the best\nresults and what kind of options you have. Keep reading to learn more and get\none step closer to having a beautiful white smile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Are Professional Treatments Worth It?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whitening products are heavily marketed, so you may be tempted to go with an over-the-counter option. However, since the FDA limits the strength of these products, they can\u2019t provide the same results you would get from a professional treatment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, having a dentist evaluate your teeth beforehand is\nhelpful because they can recommend the best choice for your specific needs. For\nexample, while most people get great results from either take-home or in-office\nwhitening, others have severe staining that responds better to other\ntreatments. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regardless of what\u2019s right for you, the goal is to make sure\nyou\u2019ve invested in something that works well the first time. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.friendswooddental.com\/teeth-whitening.html\">Professional\ntreatments<\/a> are the best way to remove stains in Friendswood and get safe,\nreliable results!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Kinds of Professional Teeth Whitening Are Available?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are 2 main choices: take-home whitening and Zoom!\nin-office whitening. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both options will effectively whiten your teeth, but a Zoom! treatment has the strongest concentration of whitening agents and is done in just one visit. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s what you can expect from each procedure: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Take-Home Whitening: <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>This option requires 2 visits. First, molds of\nyour teeth are taken to make custom-fit, clear plastic trays.<\/li><li>When you return to pick up them up (about 1-2\nweeks later), you\u2019ll get a supply of whitening gel and tips for the best way to\nuse your trays at home. <\/li><li>Then you\u2019ll wear the trays at home for 30\nminutes a day until you get your final results, which usually takes 10-14 days.\n<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Zoom! In-Office Whitening: <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>After you\u2019re seated and comfortable, your lips, gums, and cheeks will be covered and protected to avoid irritation. <\/li><li>A whitening gel will be carefully applied to your teeth before they\u2019re exposed to a special light that accelerates the process.<\/li><li>Throughout the procedure you\u2019ll be monitored for sensitivity until the final result is achieved. <\/li><li>Last, you\u2019ll be given instructions for how to maintain your new smile at home. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Whitening is a great way to take years off your appearance\nand help you feel great about your smile. Regardless of which option you choose,\nyou\u2019ll soon have a beautiful white smile that you\u2019ll love to show off!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.friendswooddental.com\/meet-dr-sierra.html\">Dr. James T.\nSierra<\/a> has 15 years of experience as a general, restorative and cosmetic\ndentist.
