In-Office and Take Home Whitening
What do you notice when you first meet someone? Research tells us that it is their smile. Likewise, this same feature is what others first notice about you. We have all met someone who places a hand over their mouth to hide teeth. This gives a perception of shyness or lack of confidence. On the other hand, a bright, vibrant smile that is shared freely makes a person appear successful, healthy, popular, sincere, and more. Most importantly, the appearance of your teeth will directly affect how you feel about yourself.
Discoloration is one of the most common issues to affect the appearance of the smile. It is difficult to avoid due to the fact that there are thousands of microscopic pores in enamel. Within these pores, microscopic debris from foods and beverages settle. As time passes, evidence of that coffee habit or evening glass of red wine becomes more noticeable. Aside from recognized stain-causers like coffee, tea, tobacco, and red wine; there are several other substances that can lead to dullness in the smile.
Discoloration may be unavoidable, but that does not mean you have to accept it. At Dr. Gold's Source Dental, there are options that will have you smiling confidently in no time.
Patients of Dr. Gold have two options through which their brightest smile can be revealed. One of the fastest solutions to discoloration is Zoom!; an in-office whitening treatment. In the comfort of our office, stains can be efficiently lifted in about an hour. The process involves covering the lips and gums with a protective material and applying whitening gel to teeth. With light, we activate the whitening solution and watch whitening occur.
In a similar manner, teeth can be whitened through the daily wear of custom-fit trays into which whitening gel is inserted. Though this method takes a week to ten days to achieve optimal results rather than an hour, home whitening is the ideal process for many of our patients.

The difference that comes from professional care
Whitening toothpastes and strips may offer an easy, affordable remedy for discoloration. These solutions; however, may be limited in their ability to minimize stains on teeth. Whitening pastes essentially polish teeth; lifting stains only from the surface. The extent of brightening possible with this type of product is minimal. Results are reliant on continued use. Whitening strips are slightly more effective; lightening a shade or two over the course of several weeks of daily use. Many people find that strips are highly inconsistent. For optimal results, a professional grade whitening solution is necessary.Patients of Dr. Gold have two options through which their brightest smile can be revealed.
