In our careers, studies have shown that people with a warm smile make better business connections.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also important for us to be able to be confident in our social lives and love lives.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In-practice treatments<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Here at Parbold Dental in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parbolddental.co.uk\/teeth-whitening-ormskirk.html\">Ormskirk, tooth whitening<\/a> treatments come in two basic forms. The first takes place in the dental office. Power whitening uses a concentrated whitening gel that should only be applied by your dentist.<\/p>\n<p>During this treatment, your dentist will apply a protective barrier to your gums and lips to avoid contact with the bleaching agent. Then the gel is applied to your teeth and a special lamp is used to activate the gel.<\/p>\n<p>The process takes a couple of hours and you will see a noticeable difference immediately. This procedure is ideal for people who have a big event coming up or just want a fast boost to the colour of their teeth.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Home tooth whitening kits<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sometimes some patients want to be in charge of the whitening process and that\u2019s when they choose to take home a whitening kit. When a patient chooses this type of treatment, we custom make a set of tooth trays that perfectly fit the patient. The whitening gel is put into these tooth trays to be worn overnight.<\/p>\n<p>You will see results within two weeks and you can carry on using the trays and gel until you reach a shade you\u2019re proud to show off.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to a survey by National Smile Month in the UK, a person\u2019s smile is the first thing we notice when meeting a new person.
