Today's fast changing world requires each person a high level of self-confidence to compete and be successful to whatever field they are into.
Physical appearance undoubtedly plays a major part in every person's self-confidence and self-esteem.
One of the best thing cosmetic technology offered to people to face today's challenges competently is teeth whitening or also known as teeth bleaching.
Now, we have three major teeth whitening treatments available.
All varies on peroxide concentration and times of application of the treatment.
In-Office Whitening This gives a noticeable difference in the color of the teeth in just a short period of time.
High-concentration of peroxide gel is applied by the dentist or trained dental personnel to the teeth when the gums have already been protected with a paint-on rubber dam.
Peroxide stays on the teeth for fifteen to twenty minutes intervals that add up to an hour.
Those people who have big stain problems are advised to return for another session.
In-office teeth whitening usually cost about $650 per visit (on average) nationwide.
Professionally Dispensed Take-Home Whitening Kits Many dentists believe that take-home whitening kits can really give positive results, though it may take quite some time.
Low concentration of peroxide gel is applied to the teeth with the help of custom-made bleaching mouth guards.
It should be left to the teeth for an hour or longer (at times overnight).
Low peroxide percentage means it is safe for the teeth.
Take-home teeth whitening kit cost approximately $100 to $400.
Over-the-Counter Whitening For people that has very limited budget, over-the-counter whitening products can be good.
This is a store-bought whitening kit that has low peroxide concentration and applied on the teeth using trays of paint-on applicators.
Though this may be effective in the long run, most people who use this whiten few of their front teeth, unlike professional teeth whitening sessions that can really give you a perfectly presentable smile.
Over-the-counter teeth whitening usually costs $20 to $100.
