What is the best professional teeth whitening system to use in Plymouth MN?
There are two types of dentist-supervised tooth whitening systems available in Plymouth MN. In order to determine the best choice for your teeth, schedule, and budget, you need to understand the differences in the systems.
Both systems use a bleaching agent containing peroxide. Plymouth MN dentists who offer professional in-office tooth bleaching use a whitening gel with a high concentration of peroxide. Some Plymouth MN in-office tooth whitening systems use a light that causes the tooth bleaching agent to work faster. There are different types of lights including halogen, plasma arc, metal halide and laser; but they all work the same way. When the light is shined at teeth on which the whitening gel is applied, it causes the peroxide to break down into free radicals, which are active oxygen molecules. This process naturally occurs without the light, but the light makes it happen faster. That is why you can get whiter teeth in just one hour with GLO and KöR whitening.
Most Plymouth MN cosmetic dentists also offer take home tooth whitening systems. Although these procedures take a bit longer to work, they achieve the same dramatic results. For many Plymouth MN area clients, this is the most affordable teeth whitening system.
