Top New York Dentist Says In-House Dental Whitening Is Always The Best Choice
Dr Gregg Lituchy, a top New York City dentist, has given his opinion on the best tooth whitening options for patients.
Teeth whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic dental treatments available on the market today. However, with so many different products to choose from and so many different brands it is easy to become confused and potentially make the wrong decision. Dr Gregg’s opinion on the matter is that in-house whitening is most definitely the most effective form of whitening available.
Dental practice whitening involves painting the teeth with hydrogen peroxide after which an intense dental light is used to activate the solution. This takes only about an hour, with results that can last for a year. However, in recent years many non-dental beauty practitioners have been offering the treatment without the correct qualifications, with poor patchy results and painful burns to the gums a regular occurrence. This is why it is highly recommended that only a qualified dental professional should provide in-practice whitening treatments such as these.
At home whitening is another option, which is attractive to many as the costs are lower than those asked for in-house whitening. This treatment requires personalised dental moulds to be made, into which a whitening solution is poured. The user then applies the gel every night for 2-3 weeks. The gel is of a weaker consistency than the in-whitening gel and therefore takes longer to create whiter results. The lack of whitening light also means the results you receive are not as bright or long lasting as those available at a clinic.
Whatever choice a patient makes, whether for more effective or cheaper treatments Dr Gregg highly recommend that patient choose a professional practice to supply them with the procedure, regardless of whether the treatment is in-house or at –home.
