Do you wish your smile could be brighter? With professional teeth whitening, our team can offer in-office and at-home treatments that leave smiles several shades brighter. In today’s blog, your Rowlett, TX, dentist talks about how we brighten smiles with our cosmetic whitening treatments!
The Causes of Stained Teeth
How do stains end up on our teeth? Unsightly brown and yellow stains could occur due to numerous factors. For example, lack of proper brushing and flossing habits could allow serious plaque buildup to develop, which makes stains more visible. A diet high in sugar and starch also promotes plaque. When we consume drinks with dark pigments, such as tea, red wine, coffee, and soda, this could also discolor your smile. Lack of professional cleanings could be a factor too, as could tobacco use. When you see our team for teeth whitening, we will examine your smile carefully to assess the cause and severity of your teeth stains, so we can then prescribe the best treatment option for you.
Teeth Whitening in One Visit
If you need results quickly before a job interview, first date, or big event, then consider our in-office teeth whitening treatment. With this option, we could provide results in as little as one to two hours total. The procedure begins with our team applying a protective covering to your lips and gums. We then place a powerful bleaching gel onto the surfaces of your teeth. The bleaching gel is then activated with a special light, which begins the process of breaking up the stains and offering a brighter smile.
Removing Stains from Home
If you suffer from more substantial cases of discoloration, then we could offer a smile that is up to eight shades brighter with our at-home teeth whitening kit. To begin, you need to stop by our office so we can take impressions of your bite and create a set of custom plastic trays, which fit over your teeth. You take these home, as well as multiple plastic syringes containing a powerful bleaching gel. You add the gel to the trays and wear them daily for about one to two weeks, for usually around an hour a day. You can then keep the trays and any leftover gel for touch-ups down the road.
