If you have a smile with dental discoloration, then you could be uncomfortable with your appearance. But our team can help remove teeth stains so your smile can truly shine. In today’s blog, your Mansfield, TX, dentist talks about our in-office and at-home teeth whitening treatments.
The Causes of Stained Teeth
What causes stained teeth to occur? Well, dental discoloration could occur for a number of different reasons. For example, if your diet is high in sugar and starch, this can promote plaque buildup that makes them more visible. Lack of proper brushing and flossing, and infrequent cleanings from our team, also lead to serious buildup. When you consume drinks with dark pigments, such as tea, red wine, soda, and coffee, this could discolor your smile. Stains could occur due to tobacco use, such as smoking cigarettes or vaping. Our team will assess the causes of your stains when we conduct your initial exam, so we can choose the right teeth whitening option for you!
In-Office Teeth Whitening
When you undergo our in-office teeth whitening, this could brighten your smile by multiple shades in only one visit, with a total time of one to two hours. The procedure is a simple one. We will apply a protective covering to ensure the comfort of your lips and gums, and then coat the surfaces of the teeth with a bleaching gel. We activate the gel with a light, which then brightens teeth and breaks up and removes teeth stains. If you need results fast, then this could help brighten smiles before your job interview, first date, or other special occasions.
A Brighter Smile from Home
Our team is also ready to help brighten your smile from home, which can take on more substantial stains and even offer smiles as many as eight shades brighter. Our team will take detailed images of your bite, which we use to create a set of custom plastic trays. At home, you will add a special bleaching gel to the teeth, which we will provide, and wear them for a specific amount of time. Usually, you wear them for about an hour a day. After a week to ten days, this could make your smile truly shine. You can then keep the trays and any leftover gel for touch-ups as needed in the months to come.
