Did you know that we offer two different teeth whitening options? With that in mind, how do we choose which one is the best one to brighten your smile? In today’s blog, your Celina, TX, dentist talks about how we choose the right teeth whitening treatment to help your smile shine!
Looking at Your Teeth Stains
To begin, we want to take a look at your smile. Our team wants to understand the cause of your teeth stains and assess the severity. With this information, we can choose the best teeth whitening option to brighten your smile. Your discoloration could form due to issues like plaque buildup, poor brushing and flossing habits, a diet high in sugar and starch, and even drinks with dark pigments, such as soda, coffee, tea, and red wine. If you have permanent teeth stains that may not respond well to teeth whitening, we could mask these stains with dental bonding and porcelain veneers. A brighter smile is always possible.
A Bright Smile in One Visit
If you need results fast before a first date, big event, graduation, or job interview, we can offer same-day teeth whitening with our in-office procedure. The process only takes one to two hours to finish. We begin by applying a protective covering over your lips and gums, and then placing a powerful bleaching gel onto the teeth. We will activate the gel with a light, which then breaks up and removes teeth stains, so you leave our office with a brighter smile!
At-Home Cosmetic Care
For more significant discoloration, we could offer a take-home kit that consists of custom plastic trays that fit over your teeth and several plastic syringes of bleaching gel. At home, you fill the trays with the gel and then wear them daily for the amount of time we recommend, which is usually about an hour. You repeat this each day for a week to ten days, and your teeth could be up to eight shades brighter. Any leftover gel and the plastic trays are then yours to use should you need touch-ups in the months to come.
If you have any questions about how we brighten your smile with our teeth whitening procedures, or if you would like to schedule a visit with our team, then reach out to our office now to get started. We want to help your smile shine, so you feel confident when you meet someone new, head a big meeting, or attend a fun event!
