The Causes of Your Stained Teeth
How does a tooth become stained? Discoloration could occur for a number of reasons. Factors like poor brushing and flossing, and diet high in sugar could create plaque buildup, which makes stains visible and also increase the risk of tooth decay and gum disease. You could develop unsightly discoloration due to tobacco use, or even consuming beverages with dark pigments, such as tea, red wine, soda, and coffee. When you arrive for cosmetic treatments, we will examine your smile to assess the cause and severity of your discoloration, which enables our team to provide the best treatment option, so you leave with a much brighter smile!
In-Office Teeth Whitening
The Opalescence in-office teeth whitening treatment only takes one visit to complete, so you could obtain a brighter smile in as little as one to two hours. No need for strips and toothpastes, and you enjoy results that can last for months to come. The process is simple. We will place a protective covering over the lips and gums before we apply the bleaching gel to the surfaces of your teeth. The system is chemically activated, no need for a bright light or heat opt activate the gel. The system then lifts even stubborn and severe stains to help brighten your smile, often by several shades. The entire process again only takes a single sitting!
Keeping Teeth Bright
If you have stubborn stains, we could also discuss masking them with options like dental bonding or even porcelain veneers. We also have tips for improving your oral health so your new results can last longer. For example, try to cut back on the sugar and starch in your diet, and follow drinks with dark pigments with a glass of water. Avoid tobacco products, and be sure you brush and floss daily. Try to see our team every six months for a checkup and cleaning too, so we can monitor your smile and remove plaque to keep it shining.
