If you have stains on your teeth, then you don’t have to hide your smile or resort to store-bought strips and toothpastes. Instead, our team can offer professional teeth whitening to brighten smiles by multiple shades! In today’s blog, Dental Impressions in Ankeny, IA, talks about professional teeth whitening.
The Onset of Unsightly Teeth Stains
Stains forming on our teeth can happen over time for a variety of reasons. For example, if we have a lot of sugar and starch in our diets, this can feed harmful bacteria and creates plaque buildup, making stains more visible. Plaque buildup can also occur due to poor brushing and flossing habits, and even lack of professional cleanings every few months. But stains also form due to the drinks we consume, as options with dark pigments, like soda, tea, red wine, and coffee could discolor your teeth. Tobacco products are another common cause. When your teeth are discolored, talk to our team about professional teeth whitening!
Prefilled and Custom Whitening Trays
We have a variety of Ultradent Opalescence products to brighten your smile by several shades. For some, we could send you home with prefilled trays that fit over your teeth and contain a powerful bleaching gel. You wear these daily for specific amounts of time and in a short period can see a smile that is much brighter. We could also create a custom set of trays, based on detailed images and impressions we take of your bite. You take these trays home with you, along with multiple plastic syringes of bleaching gel. You then add gel to the trays and wear them for about an hour a day over a period of a week to ten days, and your teeth could be up to eight shades brighter!
In-Office Teeth Whitening
Our team can also offer an in-office option. This could be preferable if you need to obtain a brighter smile in a shorter amount of time. For example, if you have a wedding, first date, job interview, or a graduation on the horizon. This involves applying a powerful bleaching gel to the teeth and then activating it with a light, which brightens your smile by several shades! Our team could also mask permanent stains with dental bonding, a process that only takes one visit to complete.
