The holiday season is quickly approaching, and with it brings a busy schedule for you and your family. You will likely be taking many pictures while you spend time with your family during Thanksgiving and Christmas, which means you’ll be showing off your smile. If you have noticed that your pearly whites are discolored or not as vibrant as they used to be, we can help! Your team at Grinnell Street Dental in Sheridan, WY, offers professional whitening treatments to lift stains and upgrade your appearance.
Rapid Treatment In Our Office
Before you purchase over the counter whitening products like strips, toothpaste, or mouthwash, you should talk to your dentist about treatment option. While over the counter products can seem convenient, they are not always an effective or safe method for all patients. Instead, your dentist can create a customized whitening solution that meets your needs. One method is rapid in-office treatment that can be completed in one visit. When you come in for your visit, a bleaching agent will be applied to your teeth and activated with a light. The discoloration will rapidly broken down, leaving you with a whiter smile. To best maintain your results, you should continue your regular oral hygiene routine.
A Convenient At Home Method
If you prefer to whiten your teeth at home, we can create a custom at home kit for you. This will include a customized tray and bleaching solution for you to use. You will add the bleaching agent to the tray and wear them every day for about two hours over the span of 10 days. After this time, the stains will be removed, and you can show off your pearly whites. This at home method may be a great option for patients who have more time before their special event. You can talk to your dentist to find out more about these options.
Your Other Cosmetic Alternatives
This professional whitening solution is a great option for patients who are experiencing extrinsic discoloration. Extrinsic discoloration is often caused by things such as coffee, tea, and other dark-colored foods and beverages we consume. It’s normal for our teeth to become discolored over time, but we understand that you may want to remove these stains to feel more confident in pictures or at special occasions. For patients whose teeth do not respond to whitening or the blemishes are below the surface, bonding or veneers may be a preferred option. Bonding uses composite resin to disguise imperfections, while veneers use custom porcelain shells to recreate your smile.
