Our smile is one of our most prominent features, so it’s no surprise that we want it to look its best. If you have noticed your pearly whites appear duller, you may be tempted to try to remove stains with over-the-counter products. Unfortunately, these products can be too harsh on your teeth and have the potential to harm them. Instead, your Grinnell Street Dental team in Sheridan, WY, offers personalized whitening options that can be done safely at home or in our office.

Brighten Your Smile Safely At Home

Store-bought whitening strips and other products are used by millions of people. In a pinch, these may seem tempting to use to give your pearly whites an extra boost. However, misuse or overuse of these products can have the opposite of your intended effect. For the best results, you should consult with a professional about your options.

Our team can create a personalized bleaching kit tailored to your needs. This will allow you to remove stains safely from the surface of your teeth. The take-home set will have a custom-made tray that fits your smile snuggly and the bleaching agent. Your dentist will direct you on when to apply it and for how often. In about two weeks, you can show off your dazzling results.

Have This Done In Office

If you want to see the results in less than two weeks, we also offer this option to be done in our office. The bleaching agent will be applied to your teeth and activated with a light. You will be able to see visible results after just a single appointment.

Before having either of these treatments done, you will need a consultation with your dentist to make sure this is safe for your smile. You must have healthy teeth and gums before any cosmetic treatments are performed. If your dentist determines that the discoloration is intrinsic, they may recommend alternative options.

Treating Intrinsic Discoloration

Yellowing of your teeth may occur due to external factors, such as certain foods and beverages we consume. This type of discoloration can be removed with whitening. However, if the stains are occurring below your enamel, they may not be able to be broken down. Instead, alternative methods can be used to help disguise their appearance. Cosmetic bonding is a popular way to do this. Composite resin will be bonded to the areas that are blemished. This material will match the color of your tooth and appear natural. It can last for many years with proper care, giving you an even and blemish-free smile.
