The Source of Discoloration
Why do our teeth end up with unsightly stains on them? Dental discoloration could occur due to factors like the drinks we consume. Beverages with dark pigments, such as coffee, red wine, tea, and soda, can stain them. Likewise, meals with lots of starch and sugar can promote plaque buildup, which also makes discoloration more visible. Poor brushing and flossing habits can also encourage plaque buildup, along with infrequent visits for dental cleanings. Tobacco use is another factor. As part of your treatment, we will look closely at your smile to assess the causes of and severity of your teeth stains so we can be sure to recommend the right whitening solution!
At-Home Teeth Whitening
With our take-home teeth whitening kit, you will visit the office only long enough for us to take images and measurements of your teeth and create a set of plastic trays, custom-made for your bite. We then send you home with these trays and multiple plastic syringes filled with a powerful bleaching gel. At home, you add the gel to the trays and wear them for a set amount of time each day, usually about an hour. The trays ensure even results across your smile, and prevents saliva from diluting the strength of the gel. After a week to ten days, you could have a smile up to eight shades brighter! You then keep the trays and any leftover gel should you need touch-ups in the months to come.
Maintaining Your Bright Smile
To help keep your smile bright, be sure you brush and floss daily, and try to cut back on the sugar and starch in your diet. Follow your dark beverages with water to help rinse away stains, and make time to see us for a dental cleanings every six months. Be sure you avoid all tobacco products too, not only do they stain your teeth but they increase the risk of oral cancer.
