Do you have unsightly stains on your teeth? Do you wish you could have a brighter smile? Well, give us a call then! We offer professional teeth whitening to break up and remove your embarrassing teeth stains. In today’s blog, your Sheridan, WY, dentist talks about our in-office and at-home teeth whitening treatments.
The Factors Behind Your Teeth Stains
Why do our teeth become stained? Well, if you consume a diet with lots of sugary foods and drinks, this could create plaque buildup that makes discoloration more visible. Likewise, beverages with dark pigments like coffee, tea, soda, and red wine could discolor your smile. Tobacco use is a factor, too. Deep stains could develop due to injury to the teeth, exposure to certain medications, and fluorosis. As part of your treatment, our team will conduct a detailed examination to diagnose the causes of your discoloration, so we can choose the right teeth whitening treatment and care moving forward to help keep your teeth bright and beautiful!
Removing Stains in One Visit
If you need results quickly, before a big event, then we could recommend our in-office teeth whitening option! With this selection, our team will apply a powerful bleaching gel to the teeth and then activate it with a special light. The process then breaks up and removes sustains, often in as little as one hour. The results are fast!
The Benefits of an At-Home Treatment
To fight dentistry and offer more dramatic results for more severe discoloration, we could also recommend our at-home teeth whitening option. You stop by the office only long enough for us to create a custom set of plastic trays, which we send home with you. We also send plastic syringes filled with a bleaching solution. You will fill the trays with the gel and wear them for the amount of time we prescribe, usually an hour a day over a period of one to two weeks. The trays ensure the results are bright and even across your smile, and you could have a smile up to eight shades brighter! You then keep the trays and any remaining gel for touch-ups.
Those deep stains we mentioned? Also known as intrinsic discoloration, these could be difficult to remove with traditional teeth whitening. Fortunately, our team can offer a brighter smile by masking them using dental bonding or even custom porcelain veneers. If you have any questions about professional teeth whitening or any of our other cosmetic treatment options, then contact our team today.
