Who Is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?
There are many reasons why your smile may dull over time. Lack of hygiene, too much coffee, soda, or wine, and even aging can cause your pearly whites to lose their luster. Whatever your age or your reason for wanting whiter teeth, you’ll find a solution at Meadow Park Family Dentistry.
Teeth whitening is perfect for any patient who wants to let their smile shine again, whether it’s in a social or business setting. Our whitening chemicals can break down stains on the surface of your teeth (extrinsic) or deep-set discoloration within your enamel (intrinsic.) The only exceptions are existing tooth restorations and teeth that have been discolored by trauma. Otherwise, the sky is the limit when it comes to teeth whitening.
How Does Teeth Whitening Work?
Whether you decide to brighten your teeth in our office or take home one of our professional kits, the treatment works the same way. Most teeth whitening products use chemicals like hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide to penetrate the surface of your teeth. Once the agents are applied, they begin to break down the pigments trapped deep in your enamel gently. Soon, these stains will fade away, leaving your teeth several shades whiter.
Take-Home Teeth Whitening
Our Take-home treatment is perfect for patients who would rather brighten their teeth at their convenience. It uses highly concentrated professional whitening agents that store-bought products don’t have. After just 2 weeks, you’ll see dazzling results! A take-home treatment could be perfect if you prefer to see a gradual change in your smile.
In-Office Teeth Whitening
On the other hand, if you’ve got an event close at hand or you just want to see your results immediately, in-office treatment could save the day. In fact, the whole process from start to brilliant finish can be completed in under an hour.
Tips for Maintaining Your Brighter Smile
After going through teeth whitening treatment, you’ll naturally want to preserve your results as long as possible. Here are some of the best ways to help your smile stay luminous.
- Great oral hygiene will keep your teeth from holding on to stains. Brush twice a day and floss regularly to remove plaque and food particles.
- Eating cheese or yogurt and drinking milk can nourish your teeth with minerals, provide a barrier against stains, and neutralize acids that may discolor them.
- Try to avoid foods that are loaded with dark pigments or artificial dyes. Snack cakes, dark berries, sodas, wine, and coffee are all loaded with staining power.
Taking care of your results and coming in to get touch-ups when needed are the best ways to keep your teeth radiant and happy. Ready for your very own smile illumination? Call Meadow Park Family Dentistry to schedule your consultation.
