When you have stains on your teeth, this could cause you to feel embarrassed. But instead of hiding your smile or relying on less-than-stellar store-bought options, talk to our team about professional teeth whitening. In today’s blog, your Londonderry, NH, dentist talks about our in-office and at-home whitening options and how they can help your smile truly shine.
The Factors Behind Your Stained Teeth
Why do unsightly yellow or brown stains form on the surfaces of our teeth? This could happen due to tobacco use, or even by consuming drinks with dark pigments, such as tea, red wine, soda, and coffee. Plaque buildup could also make discoloration more visible, and these harmful layers are the results of a diet high in sugar and poor brushing and flossing habits. Our team will examine your smile to find the cause of your teeth stains and to assess their severity, so we can choose the right whitening treatment for you.
Removing Stains with In-Office Teeth Whitening
Our in-office teeth whitening treatment is often necessary if you have a big event coming up, such as a wedding, job interview, or first date. This system can offer results in as little as one to two hours. We simply place a protective covering on your lips and gums, and then apply a powerful bleaching gel to the teeth. A special light is used to activate the gel and break up discoloration, so you can obtain a much brighter smile in only one sitting.
At-Home Whitening Trays
If you prefer a system used at home at your own convenience, or if you have more substantial stains, we could offer our take-home teeth whitening kit. You stop by our office only long enough for us to take impressions of your teeth and create a set of plastic trays. You take these trays home with you, along with several plastic syringes filled with a bleaching gel. Once at home, you add the gels to the trays and wear them for a specific amount of time each day, usually about an hour. After one to two weeks, your teeth could be eight shades brighter. You can then keep the trays and any leftover gel for touch-ups down the road as needed.
If you have any questions about how we tackle teeth stains and help you smile with confidence, then contact our team today. We want to help you feel confident in your smile, so you never hesitate to show it off!
