Do you have unsightly teeth stains on your smile? If so, then we could help your smile shine with professional teeth whitening. In today’s blog, your Grand Prairie, TX, dentist talks about our in-office and at-home teeth whitening treatments and how they make smiles shine!
The Factors Behind Your Stained Teeth
What makes these unsightly yellow and brown teeth stains form on our smiles? For some, these could be due to plaque buildup, a sticky layer that coats our teeth when we don’t brush and floss well enough and consume a diet high in sugar and starch. Consuming beverages with dark pigments, including coffee, red wine, tea, and soda, could also be a factor. If you smoke cigarettes or use other tobacco products, this could discolor your teeth. When you want a brighter smile we will examine your teeth to assess the cause and severity of your teeth stains, so we can choose which teeth whitening treatment is right for you.
An In-Office Approach
Our team could brighten your teeth in-office with a procedure that only takes one to two hours to complete, so you leave same-day with a brighter smile! This teeth whitening treatment involves our team applying a powerful bleaching gel to the surfaces of your teeth and then activating it with a light. This then breaks up and removes your teeth stains. We will repeat the process as needed to brighten your smile significantly. This option is excellent if you need results quickly, before a first date, big event, or job interview for example.
Whitening Your Teeth at Home
If you have more severe teeth stains then you may consider our at-home treatment. For some, this could actually brighten your teeth by up to eight shades! You stop by our office only long enough for us to create a set of plastic trays that fit over your teeth. You take these home with you, along with multiple syringes of bleaching gel. At home, you simply add the gel to the trays and wear them for a set amount of time each day, usually about an hour. You repeat this for about two weeks, and you could see stunning results! The trays and any leftover gel are then yours should you need a touch-up in the months to come.
If you have any questions about how we brighten your smile with teeth whitening, then contact our team today to learn more. You deserve a brighter smile and we want to make it possible! If you have discoloration that is intrinsic and don’t respond to traditional cosmetic treatments, don’t worry. We could still mask these stains with bonding, porcelain veneers, or a combination of these two treatments. Your smile can shine, even if you have severe discoloration.
