Not all teeth stain the same, but for the most common cases of teeth stains, the cause is something simple. For instance, the colorful molecules in your food and beverages can cling to your tooth enamel and, over time, start to affect your teeth’s appearance. This and other sources can cause the outer layer of your tooth enamel to stain, and the visible impact can be more noticeable the more it occurs. Fortunately, common extrinsic (outer) tooth staining isn’t usually a serious health concern for your teeth. Therefore, brightening your teeth doesn’t usually require having to address your main tooth structure.
Teeth-whitening in general is a popular treatment, and it’s simple enough that you can find countless whitening products for your teeth in the dental hygiene aisle of most grocery stores. However, simplicity doesn’t mean that it should be done by just anyone, or that any product will do. Professional teeth-whitening is specially designed to achieve optimal whitening results while also protecting the health and integrity of your tooth structure and enamel. This takes professional care and the customized, high-quality treatment you can only receive at your dentist’s office.
At our office, we know that teeth may stain multiple times throughout your life, and it would be inconvenient to have to undergo significant treatment every time you want to erase them. That’s why we offer teeth-whitening in customizable treatment options, including fast in-office treatment and more leisurely take-home whitening. During in-office treatment, we can apply the whitening gel to your teeth and stimulate it to achieve results in just over an hour. Or, we can custom-design a set of trays that you can take home and use to apply the whitening gel to your teeth on your own time.
Sometimes, it can seem like teeth stain easily. Fortunately, brightening them with professional teeth-whitening can be easy, too! To learn more, schedule an appointment with Dr. Smith and our team by calling Pecan Tree Dental in Grand Prairie, TX, today at (972) 262-5111.
