You can do that by taking steps to ensure that you look your best before a big event. Cosmetic dentistry can help you do that. In particular, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.islandcoastdentistry.com\/teeth-whitening.html\">teeth whitening<\/a> can give you a shining smile that\u2019s sure to impress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, timing the treatment to coincide with a big event can sometimes be a little bit tricky. Here\u2019s what you ought to know if you want to want to have your teeth look their best on the day of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Teeth Whitening?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>First, it\u2019s best to understand what teeth whitening entails. There are two kinds: in-office and take-home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In-office teeth whitening is done by your dentist, and it\u2019s the fastest option. Your dentist will apply a powerful bleaching solution to your teeth, give it a few minutes to work, then wipe it off. They\u2019ll do this as many times as necessary to give you a perfectly white smile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At home, solutions can produce the same results from the comfort of your home. Your dentist will give you a professional whitening kit\u2014one much safer and more effective than you can get over the counter\u2014that usually includes a bleaching gel. This solution will be less concentrated than what you\u2019d get from the dentist, so the process will take longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When Should I Get Teeth Whitening Before a Big Event?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most professional take-home kits will take at least 1-2 weeks to see results, so you\u2019ll have to afford yourself enough time for them to take effect. However, in-office whitening can be done within a single session, meaning that you could theoretically get the treatment the day before your event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, most people report a fair amount of tooth sensitivity in the days after their whitening treatment, so if you\u2019re going to a wedding or somewhere else where you\u2019d want to enjoy a few cold drinks, you might want to finish the treatment a week or two before the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take-home whitening\u2019s effects can last for up to a year, and in-office whitening can last up to three\u2014so there\u2019s no reason to rush! If you have a big event a few months down the line, there\u2019s no time like the present to get whitening treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Jeffrey Skupny believes that good dentistry is a partnership between the dentist and the patient.
