Do you have embarrassing yellow or brown stains on your teeth? Don’t hide your smile from the world or settle for minor store-bought solutions. Instead, talk to our team about our in-office and take-home whitening kits! In today’s blog, your Leawood, KS, dentist talks about our teeth whitening treatments.
The Causes Of Teeth Stains
What causes these embarrassing teeth stains to form? They tend to develop on all smiles over time due to our daily activities. For example, when we consume foods and drinks with sugar and starch in them, this could leave behind particles for bacteria to break down, which creates the plaque and tartar buildup that makes stains more visible. Often, drinks with dark pigments like soda, tea, red wine, and coffee will also discolor your smile. Tobacco products are also factors! Understanding the causes of your stains can help you make positive changes to your daily routine. We can then remove them with professional teeth whitening.
In-Office Teeth Whitening
Our team can offer an in-office teeth whitening system to provide a brighter smile in only one visit! This is perfect if you need results quickly before a first date, job interview, or a special event. The procedure involves sitting down while we coat the lips and gums in a protective coating. We then apply the bleaching gel to the teeth and activate it with a light, which helps brighten your smile by multiple shades! The entire process could take as little as one hour in some cases.
The BOOST System
For more stubborn teeth stains, we could offer the BOOST treatment! With this option, you will undergo an initial in-office treatment. We then send you home with a set of custom plastic trays and several plastic syringes containing powerful bleaching gel. At home, you add gel to the trays and wear them for the amount of time we recommend, usually about an hour. You do so daily for about a week to ten days on average, and your smile could be up to eight shades brighter in some cases! You can then keep the trays and any leftover gel should you need touch-ups in the months to come.
If you have any questions about how we offer brighter smiles with professional teeth whitening, or if you are ready to schedule your cosmetic consultation and see which option is right for you, then contact our team today to get started. We want to help your smile shine!
