When asked to select a person’s single most attractive feature, respondents almost always answer the eyes or the smile. Perhaps that is why blepharoplasty (eye surgery) and teeth whitening are amongst the most popular cosmetic procedures. Today we are going to discuss the quickest and most effective way to whiten your teeth.
Unlike traditional cosmetic surgery, dental cosmetic procedures rarely involve either cutting or pain. That is true for professional whitening, which is often a pain-free technique that can be completed in only an hour or two. However, it is still fairly expensive. The average treatment costs between two and four hundred pounds per session.
For this reason, many people have opted to purchase cheap home kits for ten or twenty pounds at their local drugstores. As you might expect, these kits take time to yield results, often three or four weeks, and even then they may not eliminate deeply ingrained stains. How quickly can you whiten your teeth ?
If you really want that whiter that white Hollywood smile and you’re willing to pay for it, you will have to make an appointment with a cosmetic dentist. These trained professionals have a number of effective techniques that can whiten teeth in an afternoon, two at the most.
Probably the most popular one is a professional-grade whitening gel that can whiten your teeth by 3-5 shades in less than an hour. The cost of this procedure is often only a few hundred pounds. The problem is that this technique is not nearly as effective for patients with badly stained teeth. In fact, many of these patients will require additional treatment sessions, which will increase their bill by three or fourfold.
The final and most effective technique that we are going to discuss today is in-office laser tooth whitening. This procedure can whiten teeth by as many as ten shades by using a combination of laser light and bleaching gel. The best thing about this technique is that no matter how stained your teeth are, you will only require one hour long session. The cost of laser whitening is normally about twice as much as the standard gel procedure.
