Do you want to obtain a brighter smile, and from the comfort of your own home too? Then you should talk to our team about our take-home teeth whitening kit! In today’s blog, your team at Delightful Dental Care talks about brightening smiles in Kansas City, MO, with our at-home whitening set!
The Factors Behind Teeth Stains
What causes our teeth to develop these stains? Discoloration could occur due to plaque buildup, itself a product of factors like poor brushing and flossing, and a diet high in sugar and starch. If you drink beverages with dark pigments and tannins, like tea, red wine, coffee, and soda, this could also discolor your smile. Tobacco use could be a factor as well, including cigarettes and vaping. As part of your treatment process, we will examine your smile to assess the cause and severity of your teeth stains, so we can see if our take-home teeth whitening system is right for you!
Our Tray and Gel System
If we decide this is the best way to brighten your smile and take on your severe discoloration, then we can take impressions of your bite with digital imaging, using the images and measurements to design and craft a set of plastic trays. These will fit snugly over your teeth. We then send the trays home with you, accompanied by a series of plastic syringes containing a powerful bleaching gel.
At home, you add gel to the trays as we instructed, and wear them for about an hour a day on average. You continue the process for about a week to ten days, and at the end your teeth could be eight shades brighter! You can keep the trays and gel for any touch-ups you may need in the months to come.
Keeping Your Smiles Shining
You can take steps to help ensure your newly brightened smile stays so for a much longer period. For example, you can brush your teeth twice a day and floss every evening to control plaque and tartar. Cutting back on how much sugar is in your diet is helpful too. Try to avoid tobacco products, and follow drinks with dark pigments with a glass of water to help rinse away the staining agents. You should also see our team for a professional dental cleaning, so we can remove all plaque and tartar and polish your teeth every six months.
