What Is The Time Investment Involved In Cosmetic Dentist Services?

Have you ever seen a celebrity or television presenter with brilliant white teeth and wondered how you could achieve the same? Have you met someone recently who has amazing teeth and worried that your own dental regimen might never produce the same results?

Brushing your teeth several times a day is critical to the health of your teeth, as is flossing. However, brushing alone doesn’t usually produce “brilliant white” results without some help.

The surface of human teeth is surprisingly porous, and many things can stain your teeth. For example, coffee, cola drinks, and even dark-colored fruits and vegetables can contribute to staining.

To get bright white teeth, the help of a cosmetic dentist will usually save you a lot of time. However, you might wonder just how much time you’re going to invest in brilliant teeth.

Let’s break things down:

Your Initial Appointment

An initial appointment of about an hour will be required for cosmetic tooth whitening services. This is because your teeth will probably benefit from a professional cleaning before any whitening agents are added.

Follow-Up Appointments

If your teeth are healthy, then follow-up appointments may be even briefer. In some cases, your teeth can be whitened in as little as half an hour. We use specialized whitening agents and a medical laser to cleanse stains from teeth.

Your Usual Dental Regimen

Most people spend at least fifteen minutes a day on brushing and, if they floss using traditional floss, may need about ten minutes for that as well. You won’t have to worry about whitening strips, special toothpastes or mouthwashes, or anything else — so you could save time in the long run.

If you have the time to visit your dentist for two hours a year, then you have the time to get pearly white teeth!
