Teeth Whitening Basics

Teeth Whitening

We’ve all heard the saying that it takes less effort to smile than it does to frown, so we ought to smile as often as we can. Whether that particular claim is true or not, most of us can agree that choosing to smile can quickly brighten and better nearly any day, situation, mood, or attitude.  

But some people find it hard to smile—not because they’re unhappy, but unconfident. Having off-colored teeth can greatly affect a person’s self-esteem. 

There are a number of reasons why someone may have discolored teeth. One popular culprit is what we eat and drink. Common foods and drinks that can easily stain your teeth include coffee, tea, soda, red wine, grape juice, cranberry juice, blueberries, beets, soy sauce, tomato sauce, and sports drinks. 

Poor dental hygiene, certain medications, genetics, and aging can also affect the color of your teeth. 

But no matter the cause behind the discoloration of your smile, Form Spa offers an efficient, long-lasting solution. 

At Form Spa, we offer laser whitening treatments that work to turn back the clock, changing the color of your teeth back to their original hue. 

To start, a gel is placed on your teeth. At Form Spa, instead of using a bleach-based gel like most practices do, we use a compound made up of plants and minerals. While being just as effective, our gel will not cause any gum irritation, a problem often caused by bleach-based gels. Additionally, because of our gel’s natural ingredients, it is less likely you’ll have temporary tooth sensitivity once your treatment is completed. 

Once the gel is applied, lasers are then shown onto your teeth, activating chemical reactions that whiten your teeth. Clients can expect an average improvement of five to eight shades with one session. Each session consists of three, twenty-minute rounds done back-to-back. Individual results will depend on the client’s current tooth shade, but the results will last a lifetime with proper maintenance.
