Our Teeth Whitening Treatments Offer A Bright Outlook

Did you know that having white teeth is linked to higher self-esteem? If your pearly whites have become discolored over time due to your daily coffees or favorite snacks, you may feel shy to show off your smile or meet new people. Your team at Dental Impressions in Ankeny, IA, offers a safe whitening treatment that can help you feel more confident in yourself. In today’s blog, we’re here to explore the process of teeth whitening.

A Confident Smile Leaves A Good Impression On Others

It’s no secret that our smiles are one of our most prominent features. If you feel confident in your looks, you may come across as more self-assured, friendly, and professional. Although it’s natural for your teeth to become discolored over time, this can cause a decrease in your confidence in some cases. Our cosmetic services can help remove stains and help you feel like your best self and you can worry less about the appearance of your teeth.

You Can Whiten Your Teeth In Our Office Or At Home

We offer brightening options in our office or as a take home kit. Before getting started, your dentist will examine your smile to ensure it is in good health and this is an appropriate treatment for your needs. If the treatment is done in our office, the bleaching gel will be applied to your teeth and activated with a light. You may be able to see visible results by the time you leave your appointment. If done at home, you will be sent home with trays and bleaching gel that are worn every day as instructed by your dentist. At the end of your treatment, make sure to continue your oral hygiene routine and follow your dentist’s instructions to keep your results.

We Can Help Conceal Stubborn Blemishes

Unfortunately, bleaching treatment may not work for everyone. In some cases, the discoloration that shows throughout your smile could be due to stains below your enamel. If the stains occur beneath this top layer, the bleach will not be able to penetrate and break down the discoloration. Instead of trying to remove these stains, options like porcelain veneers or composite resin can be used to hide the spots. Cosmetic bonding is a less invasive way to cover the blemishes and create a more even smile. Porcelain veneers, on the other hand, can be used to give your pearly whites a more drastic makeover.
