You’ve learned to make the best of laundry day. You put in a load, then take out the book you’re reading and just relax. This is how cleaning should feel, nice and mellow. There’s nothing like putting warm, freshly washed sheets on your bed. You enjoy unfurling them above the mattress, it makes the bed look so inviting. You only wish that there was something that could get your teeth as white as your sheets. Now there is with teeth whitening in Dublin from Distinctive Smiles.
Reasons to Whiten Teeth
As you probably already know, people tend to universally like white teeth. It’s one of the biggest similarities you see across cultures. White teeth are often associated with health, attractiveness, and friendliness. However, there are many things that can stain teeth and affect their color, namely coffee, wine, tobacco, and regular ageing. These all can break down your teeth’s natural white enamel, revealing the yellow dentin underneath. Enamel is actually translucent, so even a little wear can make them appear yellow. Teeth whitening is one of the easiest ways to improve the overall look of your smile, and your dentist in Dublin has a couple of ways of accomplishing this.
In-Office Whitening
This is the quickest way you can whiten your teeth. You simply come into the office and we get out the paint roller and get to work, 2 coats…just kidding. The actual key to teeth whitening is the highly-concentrated bleaching gel we use. This gel has a high content of hydrogen peroxide, which has the ability to break down years of stains on teeth and leave them sparkling. We apply this gel to your teeth and then activate it using a specially designed light. The heat from this light stimulates the gel and gets it to work on your teeth. Treatments usually last under an hour and can leave your teeth 6-10 shades whiter.
At-Home Whitening
You can also whiten your teeth from the comfort of your own home. After two simple visits, we will send you home with a customized mouth tray that you will use to apply the bleaching gel to your teeth. You just need to wear the tray with the gel for 30 minutes a day for about two weeks to get the full result. The gel we use is much stronger than what is typically in store bought whitening kits, so the results last much longer.
