If you have discoloration on the surfaces of your teeth, this could be a source of embarrassment, and store-bought systems may not be very long-lasting or dramatic. But we can offer in-office and at-home teeth whitening treatments to help! In today’s blog, your team at Grinnell Street Dental in Sheridan, WY, talks about helping smiles with teeth whitening.
The Onset of Teeth Stains
Let’s talk about teeth stains and how they form on our smiles. There are essentially two different kinds, extrinsic and intrinsic. Extrinsic is the most common, and these form on the surfaces of the teeth. Factors behind them include plaque buildup, poor brushing and flossing, as diets high in sugar, and drinks with dark pigments. Intrinsic, also known as permanent teeth stains, from beneath the enamel due to factors like injury or fluorosis. Our team will examine your smile to choose the best option to address your discoloration. We want to help your smile shine with teeth whitening.
In-Office Treatment
We can help your smile shine with in-office teeth whitening. This solution is perfect for most extrinsic teeth stains. The process offers optimal results in only one visit, in as little as one to two hours total. We will apply a powerful bleaching gel to the teeth and then use a special light to activate it, which then lifts stains from the teeth to brighten your smile and offer dramatic results. These are not the kinds of results you typically get with store-bought toothpastes and strips! Perfect if you need fast results before a job interview, first date, or other special occasions or event.
Treatment from Home
We can also help your smile shine with at-home teeth whitening. This option can address serious extrinsic stains and mask minor intrinsic ones too. We will create a set of plastic trays that fit over your teeth and send them home with you. We also provide a series of plastic syringes that contain the bleaching gel. You add gel to the trays and wear them for a specific amount of time each day, with results possible in as little as one to two weeks. We also have bonding and/or veneers to cover major intrinsic stains.
