Do your teeth have unsightly yellow and brown stains? We understand, teeth stains are common and form with time. Fortunately, we can offer a solution with cosmetic dentistry! In fact, we have two professional teeth whitening treatments. In today’s blog, your Mansfield, TX, dentist talks about how we brighten smiles with in-office and at-home teeth whitening.
The Factors Behind Teeth Stains
What causes teeth stains to form on our teeth? When we eat foods high in sugar and starch, this can promote plaque buildup that makes discoloration more visible. Beverages with dark pigments, including coffee, tea, red wine, and soda could also be factors. Tobacco use is a major cause too! As part of your treatment, we will examine your smile to assess the cause and severity of your discoloration, and we could discuss changes to your daily routine to help limit discoloration and allow your new whitening results to last even longer.
Removing Stains In-Office
What if you need to see results quickly? For example, if you need a brighter smile before a first date, a job interview, or a special event, such as a graduation or wedding? Then our team could provide results in one sitting with our in-office teeth whitening treatment. The procedure involves applying a special bleaching gel to the teeth, which we activate with a light. The process then breaks up and removes discoloration from the surfaces of your smile, so you see optimal results in as little as one to two hours!
At-Home Teeth Whitening
If you have a more severe case of discoloration, then our team could offer an at-home teeth whitening procedure. With this option, we will take impressions of your bite and create a custom set of plastic trays, which fit snugly over your teeth. We then send these custom trays home with you, accompanied with multiple plastic syringes of bleaching gel. Once at home, you simply add the gel to the trays and wear them for a specific amount of time, usually about an hour a day. This helps break up stains, the trays ensuring even results across your smile. For some, teeth could be up to eight shades brighter after one to two weeks. You can then keep the trays and any leftover gel should you need touch-ups down the road.
