If you have embarrassing teeth stains on the surfaces of your teeth, then we can help with professional treatment using cosmetic dentistry. We have in-office and at-home treatment options to offer smiles several shades brighter! In today’s blog, Dental Impressions in Ankeny, IA, talks about teeth whitening treatment options!
The Onset of Teeth Stains
How do stains form on our teeth in the first place? These causes could vary. For some, a diet high in sugar combined with poor brushing and flossing habits could contribute to plaque buildup, which makes discoloration more visible. Beverages with dark pigments, such as soda, tea, red wine, and coffee, could also discolor your teeth. Smoking or tobacco use could contribute as well. But with teeth whitening, we can brighten your whole smile and offer stunning results, often in as little as one visit.
Help With Professional Whitening
We can use teeth whitening to help brighten your smile. To begin, we will examine your smile to assess the cause and severity of your teeth stains. We then choose the right treatment option for you. For some, this could include prefilled trays you take one home and wear daily, brightening your smile by several shades. We also have an on-office option that can offer brighter smiles in one sitting, which is perfect if you need results quickly before a big event, such as a date, graduation, or a job interview. Our professional options can offer more dramatic results than store-bought treatments, and they tend to last much longer too!
Masking Permanent Discoloration
While teeth whitening and brightens smilers in most cases, what if you have permanent discoloration, the kind that forms beneath the outer enamel and tends to be more difficult for our trays and in-office procedures to address? In a situation like this, we could actually mask the stains and offer a brighter appearance. With dental bonding, we can apply a composite resin to the surfaces of your teeth to cover up discoloration. The material is needed to blend with your smile and match it, so you can feel confident in your appearance. Along with masking stains, this can also repair minor damage, fill gaps between the teeth, lengthen worn down teeth, and more.
