Lately, you've been finding yourself hiding your teeth when you smile or meet new clients. As you've thought about this, you realize that it's because your teeth are discolored and it's getting worse. Did you know that teeth whitening is one of the most simple and effective ways to make a huge impact on your smile?
Here are 3 reasons to choose professional whitening to improve your smile:
While most whitening products are safe for your teeth, the gel can cause injury to your gums or other soft tissues. When you whiten your teeth with Dr. Fairfax and her team, your safety is our top priority. We'll ensure that your gums and soft tissues are protected and that you know how to safely use the whitening gel at home. It's always advisable to whiten under the supervision of your dentist in case you have any issues with sensitivity and to prevent injury to your gums.
Dr. Fairfax has access to a higher strength whitening gel than you can purchase at the store. This means you'll spend less time whitening to achieve your desired results. Many store-bought products are also designed to whiten only your "site line," or front six teeth, which also may not achieve the results you hoped for.
When you whiten with Dr. Fairfax, we'll first discuss your goals and desires with you to ensure that we use the right products and best whitening procedure for your needs.
Our in-office whitening treatment is ideal for those patients seeking immediate results. In only one short appointment at our office, you'll leave with teeth that are 6 to 10 shades lighter than when you came in. You won't achieve these results with drugstore whitening products.
The take-home whitening system we offer is also very effective and allows you to whiten based on your own schedule. This system typically produces results in one to two weeks depending on your goals.
