While over-the-counter whitening kits may appear convenient, they simply cannot match the whitening power of professional treatments. At Anytime Dental Gilbert, we offer both in-office teeth whitening sessions and at-home kits that deliver superior stain-fighting capabilities compared to traditional store-bought options.
Our at-home kits are perfect for busy professionals and individuals with limited time for in-office sessions. These kits utilize advanced whitening gels and materials that are significantly more potent than those found in over-the-counter alternatives.
Both in-office and take-home teeth whitening methods are safe and effective ways to enhance the brightness of your smile. Your dentist at Anytime Dental Gilbert will help you choose the method that best suits your needs and preferences.
Yes, professional teeth whitening conducted by trained dental professionals is safe and effective. We use proven methods and materials to protect your teeth and gums during the whitening process.
The longevity of your teeth whitening results can vary depending on factors like your oral hygiene habits and dietary choices. With proper care, whitening results can last from several months to a few years.
Some patients may experience mild tooth sensitivity or gum irritation after teeth whitening. These side effects are usually temporary and can be managed with over-the-counter products or as advised by our team.
Professional teeth whitening can effectively remove many surface and extrinsic stains. However, intrinsic stains (those within the tooth) may require more extensive treatments, such as veneers or bonding, to achieve desired results.
The degree of whitening varies from person to person and depends on the initial shade of your teeth. Our team will discuss your expectations and recommend a treatment plan tailored to your goals.
Teeth whitening is generally suitable for most individuals. However, it may not be recommended for those with certain dental conditions or extremely sensitive teeth. During your consultation at Anytime Dental Gilbert, we will assess your suitability for teeth whitening.
Over-the-counter whitening kits are available, but they are less potent and may not deliver the same results as professional treatments. Our at-home kits, on the other hand, are specially formulated to provide effective and safe whitening.
An in-office teeth whitening session typically takes around 60 to 90 minutes. During this time, our team will carefully apply the whitening solution and monitor the progress to achieve optimal results.
Some patients may experience temporary tooth sensitivity after whitening, but this discomfort usually subsides within a few days. Our team can recommend desensitizing products to help manage any sensitivity.
Teeth whitening primarily affects natural teeth and may not alter the color of dental restorations. If you have visible restorations, we can discuss options like replacing them to match your newly whitened teeth.
