If you have stained teeth, we can help with cosmetic dentistry. With professional teeth whitening, including at-home and in-office options, we can make your smile really shine. In today’s blog, Dental Impressions in Ankeny, IA, talks about how we whiten smiles!
The Need for Professional Teeth Whitening
When should you consider professional teeth whitening? If you have stains on your teeth, then talk to our team. Yes, you can go to the store and buy whitening toothpastes and strips, but these often lead to tooth sensitivity and short-lived results that are not very dramatic. But with our professional Ultradent Opalescence products, we can help brighten your teeth by multiple shades, so you can enjoy a significantly brighter smile in a short time period!
Our Treatment Options
For some, we could offer a set of prefilled trays, plastic trays that contain a powerful bleaching gel. You wear these for a specific amount of time each day, usually about an hour, and see optimal results after about a week or so. We also have custom trays, which are made specifically for you and fit snugly over your teeth. We send these trays home with you, accompanied by multiple plastic syringes of bleaching gel. You add gel to the trays and wear them daily, and your teeth could be eight shades brighter after a week or two. This is great if you have significant staining on your teeth.
If you find yourself in a situation in which you need a brighter smile fast, we could help with our in-office teeth whitening. With this option, we will apply a bleaching gel to the teeth and activate it with a light, lifting discoloration in as little as an hour. If you have a first date, special event, or job interview, this is perfect for same-day results!
Masking Severe Stains
What if you have more severe stains? If this occurs, we could offer dental bonding. This involves coating the teeth with a special composite resin, the same we use for our lifelike dental fillings. This can cover up the severe stains, and at the same time, address other issues with the teeth, such as minor injuries, open gaps, or worn-down structures. If you have any questions about how we diagnose your teeth stains and recommend the best cosmetic treatment, or if you want to schedule a visit for cosmetic dentistry and teeth whitening, then contact our team today to learn more and get started. We want to help your smile shine, so you feel great when out on the town!
