Teeth Whitening For Your Spring Smile

In a few short months, spring will be upon us. Along with the sunshine and warm weather, you will most likely be outside enjoying activities, family, and friends. Why not surprise everyone with a brighter smile? Your local Ankeny, La dentist provides teeth whitening trays for those with a busy schedule or not enough time to fit a dental office visit into their day-to-day routine.

How Take Home Trays Work

Your dentist requires a consultation to discuss your goals, timeline, and reason for wanting to brighten your smile. This is simply to understand you as a person and help assist you with the most viable option at whitening your teeth. Dr. Foust’s take home trays are cost effective.

The trays that your dentist provides for you are to be worn for minutes on the hour once day. In most cases the whitening treatment can take anywhere between one or two weeks. Although it could take a few weeks, the difference in your smile brightness is said to be seen after the first few sessions.

If you have what are called extrinsic stains, the powerful bleach will help remove or reverse the discoloration generally attained from beverages, such as: coffee, wine, or soda or some medications.

Most patients wear the whitening trays during a routine habit, such as: daily chores, watching their favorite episodic shows, or reading a book. They even set a timer on their oven or phone to indicate when they need to remove the trays. Once the timer chimes, they remove the trays, rinse their mouth, and continue on with their day.

Benefits To A Whiter Smile

The benefit count for a beautiful, bright smile is theoretically infinite. Not only will you feel the difference in your confidence level, but you will most likely be told by family and friends that they can see the difference, too.

Also, the initiative to keep your smile white can help promote your foundational oral health routines like brushing, flossing, and rinsing your teeth on a daily basis. Optimum oral health is a vital part of life, and seeing your dentist on a regular basis will help this effort.
