FAQ's regarding Whitening

at Roper Aesthetic Dentistry

Should I whiten my teeth at home or in the office?

Dr. Roper suggests that you choose a whitening method that you feel most comfortable with. Many people love our in-office Zoom advanced whitening system because of the convenience. Others prefer to achieve their own whitening results gradually in the comforts of their home. Regardless of the option you choose to make, the results are fantastic! Schedule a complimentary smile evaluation and Dr. Roper will discuss the benefits of each with you to find the perfect solution.

Are whitening results guaranteed?

Each whitening experience has unique results based on the condition of teeth. Your current health and your lifestyle habits may determine the final result. While no cosmetic dentist can guarantee specific results, we can show you our Smile Gallery and let you talk with satisfied guests that have had whitening . After a thorough evaluation of your dental health, Dr. Roper can give you an idea of what to expect from both at-home or in-office whitening options.

How can I prevent my new shade from fading?

First of all, you’ll want to care for your whitened teeth daily – regular brushing and flossing are crucial in keeping your teeth safe from discoloration. You should visit Dr. Roper every six months to make sure your teeth and gums are in good health, and to discuss cosmetic dentistry treatments that can improve the appearance of teeth. Use common sense and avoid things that can stain teeth, such as:

• Smoking
• Chewing tobacco
• Black tea
• Coffee
• Berries and berry juices
• Red wine

While professional whitening from Roper Aesthetic Dentistry whitens teeth longer than over-the-counter methods, your teeth will eventually lose some of their brightness. You may contine to do touch-ups at home to maintain the the results. An at-home follow-up kit comes with every in-office Zoom! treatment and Dr. Roper will give you instructions on how to use it.

Are over-the-counter whiteners a waste of money?

Most of them will work to some extent, but if you expect, dramatic results, you may be disappointed. Professional whitening systems such as the Zoom whitening offer better results in a shorter amount of time, and a take-home professional kit will also give you quicker results, since the trays will be custom-made to fit you properly and the gel will be professional-strength.
