Some events are just extra special. If you have a wedding, graduation, or other photo-worthy celebration coming up, it makes sense to want to look your best. Your dentist can add some glamor to your aesthetics by whitening your teeth, but you’ll have to plan carefully if you want your smile to be ready for the big day. Keep reading so you can perfect your treatment timeline!
Take-Home Teeth Whitening: Comfortable but Lengthy
There are two different ways your dentist can brighten your smile. The take-home method involves applying a special whitening agent to a set of customized plastic trays, and wearing the trays as instructed by your dentist. Many patients love being able to remove their dental stains from the comfort of their own home, but it can take two or more weeks of regular application to see the full results.
In-Office Teeth Whitening: The Lightning-Fast Solution
Alternatively, you could sit back and relax in the patient’s chair as your dentist applies the whitening agents themselves. This process describes in-office whitening treatments, and most can be completed in just one appointment. It’s definitely the faster solution, but keep in mind that more severe stains could take more than one appointment to remove.
Timing Your Treatment for The Big Day
How do you know whether your dental stains are mild or severe? Is there a way to get a more precise timeline estimate? Yes – by consulting with your dentist. This will involve making an appointment completely dedicated to discussing the details of your treatment plan, so it’s important to get started well ahead of your special event.
If you’re interested in a take-home treatment, try to aim to get a consultation on the books three months before the big day. For an in-office treatment, two months will give you plenty of time to coordinate with your dentist. After listening to your smile goals and examining your teeth, they’ll help you time your teeth whitening and ensure you look amazing for your special event!
