Dental products marketed for teeth whitening vary widely in terms of active ingredients, the concentration of those ingredients, and how the whiteners are delivered to the teeth. All these factors play a role in how well products remove stains and the experience you have with the said product.
Dentists like Dr. Vidya Suri only use those concentrated products that are clinically proven to loosen and lift pigments from tooth enamel. Designed from the comfort and safety of the Sycamore Dental office in Fort Worth, TX, these whitening treatments are FDA approved. Since treatment is prescribed and overseen by a dental professional, you can trust that your health is in capable hands. Additionally, Dr. Suri applies her considerable knowledge to personalize treatment to your every need. Should you have a history of tooth sensitivity, for instance, she can adjust the amount of time that the whitening ingredient stays on your teeth each day. In addition to altering the whitening schedule as needed, we may prescribe specialized products that prevent tooth sensitivity risks among those who are concerned about this side effect. So, you enjoy the most comfortable experience as you revamp your smile!
If you have tried whitening strips, pastes, pens, or other store products, you may have been disappointed with the results. Typically, these products do not contain carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide. Professionals like Dr. Suri have access to these powerful whitening agents. Additionally, OTC products do not contain a sufficient concentration of either carbamide or hydrogen peroxide to make a noticeable difference in the appearance of your teeth.
Off-the-shelf products may seem like an easy and fast solution; however, they are not designed to address your specific needs and characteristics. Whitening trays, for example, are designed to fit all or most mouths. They are not designed to fit your mouth. The whitening gel can leak out of the tray, which results in irritation to oral tissues. Ill-fitting trays themselves can also slide around and cause discomfort and irritation.
Dr. Suri uses concentrated peroxide-based gels. The trays are made from molds of your mouth. So, they fit your teeth and gums perfectly. The whitening gel is sealed inside of the tray for safe and comfortable treatment. Precision, personalized treatment also results in teeth that are noticeably (and evenly) whiter, and that look natural. A whiter smile can take years off your appearance and is an instant way to look healthier and more vibrant.
