Do you have stained teeth? If so, you could feel embarrassed about your appearance. But our team can offer smiles several shades brighter with professional teeth whitening. In today’s blog, your Celina, TX, dentist talks about how we brighten teeth with our in-office and take-home teeth whitening treatments, so you can feel confident in your smile.
The Factors Behind Teeth Stains
What causes teeth stains to form? For some, these are due to factors like poor brushing and flossing habits, combined with a diet high in sugar and starch. These factors create plaque buildup, which makes discoloration more visible. For others, consuming drinks with dark pigments, such as soda, coffee, tea, and red wine could discolor the teeth. As part of your treatment, we will examine your smile to assess the cause and severity of your teeth stains, allowing us to choose the most appropriate teeth whitening solution.
In-Office Teeth Whitening
If you need to brighten your smile fast, then you may consider our in-office treatment. This option could provide brighter smiles in as little as one to two hours, perfect if you need quick results before a job interview, first date, or big event. The process involves our team applying a protective covering on your lips and gums, and then placing the bleaching gel directly onto the teeth. Our team next activates the gel with a light, which breaks up the discoloration. We could repeat this process as needed, and you could leave with a noticeably brighter smile.
Whitening Your Teeth at Home
If you have more substantial teeth stains, then we could recommend our at-home teeth whitening kit, which can take on more severe discoloration and offer smiles up to eight shades brighter. To begin, you will stop by our office just long enough to have impressions taken of your bite, which we use to create a set of plastic trays. These custom trays fit snugly over your teeth. We then send these home with you, along with multiple plastic syringes of bleaching gel. Once you are home, you will add gel to the trays and wear them daily for a set amount of time, usually an hour, over the course of a week to ten days. The trays and any leftover gel are then yours to use for touch-ups as needed.
