Remove Stains With Professional Teeth Whitening Treatments

Having yellow or discolored teeth may not necessarily mean that your smile is unhealthy, but it can make you feel self-conscious. Instead of using generic store-bought products to try to get rid of these stains, talk to your team at Dental Impressions in Ankeny, IA, about a professional treatment. This may be safer than the harsh products in store-bought kits and is tailored to your specific needs.

When Is Whitening Necessary

There are some ways to prevent your teeth from becoming stained. First, make sure that you are following an effective oral hygiene routine. This should include brushing and flossing at least twice a day to help remove food particles. You should also see your dentist twice a year for a checkup. This visit will include the removal of plaque buildup and a polish that can help your teeth feel cleaner. Some of your favorite beverages, like coffee, tea, and soda, may be staining your teeth. To avoid this, you may want to reduce your consumption or drink these through a straw.

Cosmetic treatments can be used to improve the appearance of your smile. You must first have good oral hygiene to begin with. Before beginning, your dentist will examine your oral cavity to check for potential concerns like cavities, gum disease, and more. If there are any problems, your dentist will plan to restore your oral health first. If your smile is healthy, you may be interested in improving its appearance for special occasions or upcoming events. A professional in-office or at-home treatment can help you reach your desired results so that you can show off your dazzling events.

Deciding On An In-Office Or At-Home Treatment

We know that each patient has their own unique needs and wants, which is why we offer a variety of options for cosmetic improvements. For patients who would like to see rapid results, an in-office treatment may be the preferred choice. With this, a bleaching ingredient will be applied to your teeth and activated with a special light. After about one hour, you will be able to see a visible change in your appearance. If you would like to do this at home, we can create a personalized kit to take home. You will wear your custom trays and bleach each night. After a few weeks, you can show off your vibrant results. These options are safer and more effective than store-bought products because they are created to suit your specific needs rather than be suitable for a wide range of people.
