In today’s blog, your Kansas City, MO, dentist talks about our take-home teeth whitening kit.
The Factors Behind Teeth Stains
What causes teeth stains to form on the surfaces of your smile? These could be due to plaque buildup, which is the result of a diet high in sugar and poor brushing and flossing habits. Consuming drinks with dark pigments, such as soda, tea, red wine, and coffee, could also discolor teeth, as could using tobacco products. As part of your treatment, we will examine your smile to assess the cause and severity of your teeth stains. For many, we could offer a brighter smile with our take-home teeth whitening system.
Creating Custom Trays
To get started, you just need to visit our team for a brief visit. We will take detailed images and measurements of your smile to create a 3D impression, one far more accurate than physical impression. We use this to design and craft a set of plastic trays, which fit snugly over your teeth. These are an essential part of your at-home teeth whitening treatment. Our team will send these home with you, along with multiple plastic syringes of powerful bleaching gel.
Removing Teeth Stains
At home, you should add gel to the plastic trays and wear them each day for a set amount of time. The trays ensure the results are even across your smile, and also prevent saliva from diluting the strength of your gel. They will break up stains and after one to two weeks, your teeth could be eight shades brighter. you then keep the trays and any remaining gel should you need touch-ups in the months to come. You can also help your teeth stay bright by drinking more water and fewer beverages with dark pigments., We also suggest cutting back on the sugar and starch in your diet, and taking time to brush and floss your teeth daily. A dental cleaning every six months is helpful for maintaining a brighter smile too!
