Each and every day, someone notices your smile. And when they first meet you, what’s the opinion that they have? If you are struggling with extrinsic enamel staining, then they could think a little less of you due to your yellowed or dull teeth. While there have been many new advancements in over-the-counter products for this condition, these unfortunately do not come with the training and experience of a trusted dental provider, so before you reach for a supermarket teeth whitening option, talk to your oral health team about whether it’s safe.
At Dental Impressions of Ankeny, we provide quality dental care for patients experiencing a range of concerns. Our team also knows that cosmetic conditions do not mean unimportant. The appearance of your smile makes a big difference in your daily life, so taking the time to make sure it is all it can be a real help. If you are tired of seeing a stained smile in the mirror, give us a call!
Talk To Your Dentist Before You Try Anything
Listen, we get it: there are a million different cosmetic teeth whitening products now available at your local drugstore or supermarket. But just because you can purchase them does not mean they are safe or effective at treating the condition you have. It is important to speak with your dental provider before you do anything so that you can know for sure. They have years of training, and a whole lot of experience in helping people reach a brighter smile, so you can trust in their knowledge.
Sometimes, other problems can appear like enamel stains, but actually require an entirely different form of treatment. Plaque and tartar buildup is a common one, as the biofilm left by bacteria can seem like stains on your teeth. But if you try to bleach this away, you’re going to be out of luck and bleach your teeth without the need for it.
Choosing Your Teeth Whitening Option
Here at our office, we understand that not everyone has the same dental needs. That’s why we offer two distinct forms of cosmetic teeth whitening treatment, giving our patients a choice in their care.
Some people have a strict timeline, meaning that they want to see results in a single appointment. For these patients, we offer speedy in-office whitening, helping them to be ready for a big day. Others are looking for a smoother approach, and at-home teeth whitening may be the right choice for them. Talk to your provider about all of your options.
