Do you wish your smile was brighter? If you have unsightly teeth stains, we can help brighten your smile before summer arrives! In today’s blog, the team at Allen and Neumann Family Dentistry talks about the professional take-home whitening kit we offer our Pella, IA, patients.
When to Seek Professional Whitening
When should you see us for professional teeth whitening? If you have stains on your teeth, let us know! While you can purchase strips and toothpastes to brighten your smile, these results tend to be short-lived and minor, and you could develop tooth sensitivity. But we have a professional take-home kit that can brighten teeth by as many as eight shades, and offer more dramatic results that last longer, all while limiting the risk of tooth sensitivity!
Our Take-Home Trays and Gel
Our team will examine your smile to assess the cause and severity of your discoloration. If you benefit from our teeth whitening treatment, we will take digital impressions of your bite to create a set of plastic trays that fit snugly over your teeth. You return home with these trays, and with multiple plastic syringes of a powerful bleaching gel. Treatment will involve adding gel to the trays and wearing them for a specific amount of time, usually about an hour a day, over the course of one to two weeks.
Your smile is significantly brightened and you can keep the trays and leftover gel should you need touch-ups in the months to come. If you have discoloration too severe for trays and geo, we could mask them with bonding, veneers, or even a combination of the two.
Keeping Your Teeth Bright
You can take steps that help improve the health of your smile, and also help your teeth stay brighter for longer periods. These actions include brushing and flossing each day, limiting how much sugar is in your diet, and cutting back on drinks with dark pigments, such as soda, tea, red wine, and coffee. You should also avoid tobacco products, and see our team for a routine checkup and cleaning every six months. You can not only enjoy brighter teeth, but lower risks of tooth decay and gum disease.
If you have any questions about our at-home teeth whitening system, then reach out to our team today to learn more and start your journey to a bright and beautiful smile.
