Are you a regular coffee or tea drinkers or a habitual smoker? These teeth staining substances along with others such as red wines, coloured fruit juices and vegetables all contribute to the change in the colour of your teeth. In other cases it is simply the effect of the normal aging process of teeth.

 

In most cases this type of tooth staining will respond favourably to Artiste Studios’ customised tray teeth whitening with a professionally confectioned gel. This is especially true for those people who feel that the colour of their teeth was quite pleasing some years ago but now have found that their teeth have become dingy, dull and yellow.

 

Typically yellow to brown tooth staining will respond more quickly and favourably to whitening treatments than shades of grey. A realistic time frame for treating an average case using a take home tray-based whitening system can be two to six weeks of daily bleaching with each bleaching session lasting on the order of two hours per day or night. It is certainly possible, however, that a person will start to see an improvement in as little as just a few whitening sessions. Darker tooth staining, such as that caused by a person's heavy smoking habit, might take upward of three months of treatment to successfully resolve, but might always be a good motivator to those wishing to beat the habit, what better time than now?

 

It has been suggested that, one hour of in-office whitening treatment can produce the same whitening effect as two weeks of Take home tray-based whitening and both are available at Artiste Studios.

 

What exactly is Take home teeth whitening?
The customized tray teeth whitening system involves the use of clear plastic trays that have been fabricated and adjusted so they fit comfortably over your teeth. You take these trays home along with our recommended whitening kit.
You place the whitening gel into your customized trays and then set them over your teeth. The trays are worn for an average of 2hrs per day or as instructed by your Artiste Studios specialist, for a series of days or weeks and watch as the effects of the whitening process take place.

What's the best teeth whitening system for you?
Which method seems to be the best fit with your lifestyle? Are you long on time and short on money? If so, it sounds like take-home teeth whitening might be the best choice in your case.

 

Do you have a big event coming up soon that you want to transform your smile for or maybe you just don't think you can incorporate do-it-yourself whitening treatments into your busy lifestyle? If this is the case then it seems that an Artiste Studios’ in-studio Zoom whitening might be the best solution.

 

Keep in mind, before any teeth whitening process is performed; you should have already had a Dental Essentials Cleansing or even a Diamond Cleaning. Both surface stain and tartar need to be removed from your teeth before the bleaching treatment is performed to an optimum degree.
