When stains form on the surfaces of your teeth, this could be a source of embarrassment. But you don’t have to hide your smile or rely on store-bought options. We have professional treatment options! In today’s blog, your Londonderry, NH, dentist talks about how we brighten your teeth with teeth whitening.

The Causes of Your Teeth Stains

What causes teeth stains to form on the surfaces of your teeth? Some could be due to foods high in sugar and starch, which promote plaque buildup that makes stains visible. Lack of proper brushing and flossing could also lead to plaque and discoloration. Drinks with dark pigments, like soda, coffee, red wine, and tea, could discolor your teeth as well. You could also develop discoloration due to tobacco use. The causes may vary, but the results are unsightly yellow or brown discoloration that makes you feel self-conscious. We can help with professional teeth whitening!

A Brighter Smile in an Hour

To obtain a brighter smile in only one hour, we can help with an in-office teeth whitening treatment. The process is simple, our team will place a protective coating on your lips and gums, and then apply a bleaching gel to the teeth. We then use a special light to activate the gel and then break up and remove stains, repeating the process as needed. In as little as one hour, your teeth could be several shades brighter. This is great if you need results quickly before a big event, such as first dates, job interviews, weddings, or graduations.

Combining In-Office and Take-Home Kits

If you have more substantial teeth stains, we could combine our in-office option with a take-home kit. You start with a visit to our office, in which we conduct a simple in-office treatment. We then send you home with a set of plastic trays and multiple vials of bleaching gel. You add gel to the trays and wear them for a set amount of time each day. These will then break up stains and brighten your smile by several shades. You could in fact have a smile up to eight shades brighter after one to two weeks. If you have any questions about our teeth whitening treatments, or any of our other cosmetic treatment options, then contact our team to get started. There is still time to see us before the holidays are here, and to use your 2024 dental insurance benefits before they expire at the end of the month.
