The thing about teeth whitening is that it will never be immediate. There’s no quick fix or one-time whitening treatment that will be able to accurately penetrate below the surface of the tooth to initiate a permanent colour change.
There are a million ways to whiten your teeth at home that you can read about, but none of them are long term, or as effective. The proven best way to whiten your teeth below the surface and retain that white smile is to have your dentist create custom whitening trays for you.
These are safer than any DIY remedies you may find online, or random products that weren’t prescribed by a professional. Your dentist will create trays that work for your teeth and instruct you on exactly how to use them.
Like we said before, a one-time treatment isn’t going to give you a perfect smile. While the whitening trays prescribed by your dentist will whiten your teeth permanently, teeth still naturally yellow as we age – there’s not much we can do about that. This means that you’ll need to reapply the treatment once every five years or so to maintain the desired colour of your smile.
When in doubt, always talk to your dentist about your options!
