You’ve seen the gallons of coffee and red wine consumed on the strip in Camps Bay, yet everyone has a beaming smile. What’s going on here?
Can you guess what the most popular cosmetic procedure is around? If your response was “teeth whitening” then congratulations.
Suppose veneers are on top of the list for getting whiter teeth. In that case, I have some bad news: they destroy your enamel. There are more economical, less invasive ways to whiten your teeth – so why use veneers in the first place?
In-chair is a straightforward process and can be done by your dentist or hygienist in just one or two visits.
Of course, you should always start with a thorough dental examination and x-rays in case there are cavities or gum issues that can affect the result. Letting a beauty therapist or non-licensed person place chemicals on your teeth is, to be honest, just plain stupid.
Healthy white teeth are clean, so always have a good cleaning before you do any type of whitening. First, a gel is applied to your teeth. Next, a special light activates the gel and breaks down any stain molecules. Finally, the gel is removed, and your teeth are rinsed. In-chair teeth whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic dental treatments available today, and it’s easy to see why. With a simple procedure, you can achieve dramatic results that will boost your confidence and leave you feeling like a new person.
I hear you asking if you can use take-home whitening on its own and the answer is a resounding yes.
One of the best things about home teeth whitening kits is that they are more affordable than in-chair whitening. In addition, it saves you time by whitening in the comfort of your home.
The only downside to using at-home teeth whitening is that it can take a little longer to see results. However, if you are willing to wait a bit longer, you will achieve precisely the same results as if you had in-chair treatment.
As you can see, when it comes to teeth whitening, there are two main options: in-chair whitening and take-home whitening. Both methods have their advantages.
We asked Dr Clifford Yudelman at OptiSmile, “Best Dentists in Cape Town,” and he always recommends take-home whitening in addition to in-chair whitening for the best results.
In-chair whitening is a great way to get instant results, but it has disadvantages. While the results of in-chair whitening can be impressive, they don’t usually last as long as those of take-home whitening.

In conclusion, teeth whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures – and for good reason. It’s convenient, fast, and effective. But there are some things you should know before you decide to whiten your teeth. First, trying to whiten your teeth with veneers or crowns is a terrible idea. Whitening teeth with veneers or crowns can damage your teeth and gums.
Both procedures involve removing enamel from your teeth – that’s a bad idea. Enamel is essential for protecting your teeth from decay and damage. Removing enamel can weaken your teeth and make them more susceptible to damage. Second, whitening teeth with veneers or crowns can damage your gums. It’s best to leave the whitening to the professionals.
If you want whiter teeth, there are other, safer ways to do it. So do your research before you decide.
You can also schedule an appointment with your dentist today and find out if in-chair or take-home teeth whitening is right for you. A specialised practice like OptiSmile offers a variety of whitening brands and will customise which system would work best for you.
