You give yourself one last check in the mirror before you’re out the door and you’re instantly frustrated. Your teeth, which were sparkling white less than a month ago, are now starting to look dull and yellow. This always happens when you use those store bought whitening kits. You need something that will last! What are your options besides eating everything with a straw (which actually doesn’t work)? Dr. Virginia L. Gregory wants you to know how you can get the lasting, sparkling smile you’ve always wanted with teeth whitening in Mount Pleasant, SC.
Teeth Whitening in Mount Pleasant
Nearly 90% of all dental patients want their teeth to be whiter when they come into see Dr. Gregory. This is because white teeth are one of the greatest social signifiers in our society, as people with white teeth are often thought of as more attractive, intelligent, and friendly. When you come in for teeth whitening, the first step is to clean your teeth of any leftover food or plaque. Then we will apply the special, patented Zoom! Teeth Whitening bleaching gel. This is a highly-concentrated hydrogen peroxide gel that is able to break down years of stains on your teeth and help reveal their underlying brilliance.
Once the gel is applied, we will use a high-intensity light to activate it. This light actually heats up the gel and helps it work more quickly. After 15 minutes, we will wipe away the gel and start the process over again. We will do about 2-3 rounds of this depending on the level of whiteness you are looking for. Most patients are out of the office in about hour with teeth that are 6-10 shades whiter.
How Long Does It Last?
Zoom! Teeth Whitening can last for about 4-6 months on its own, but can last for years with the proper maintenance. The most basic way to do this is with routine brushing and flossing. This will help clean away any food and drinks that can potentially stain your teeth. In order to help you keep them shining, we will even provide you with a mouth tray and the special bleaching gel so you can give yourself touch-ups at home every 4-5 months.
Our take-home kits are much stronger and longer lasting than generic store bought whitening methods because they actually use professional strength products that you can only get through Dr. Gregory. Consistent oral hygiene and the occasional at-home treatment will keep your teeth sparkling for years to come.
