Do you have dental discoloration? Don’t resort to just store-bought strips or toothpastes to brighten your smile. Instead, talk to our team about help with cosmetic dentistry. In today’s blog, your Prairie Village, KS, dentist talks about brightening smiles with teeth whitening.
Our Take-Home Teeth Whitening Treatments
You don’t have to live with stained teeth or rely on over-the-counter solutions that provide minor and short-lived results. Our team can provide a take home teeth whitening kit that brightens smiles by several shades, often as many as eight! The procedure starts with a simple office visit. We will examine your smile to assess the severity of your teeth stains, so we can choose the right treatment for you. We then take images and impressions of your bite to create a set of custom plastic trays.
You return home with these plastic trays and several plastic syringes of bleaching gel. At home, you add the gel to the trays and wear them for a specific amount of time, usually about an hour a day. You do this over the course of a week to ten days, and the trays ensure even results across the surfaces of your smile, and prevent the gel from being diluted by saliva. You can then keep the trays and any leftover gel should you need touch-ups in the months to come!
Masking Permanent Teeth Stains
Some stains are intrinsic, meaning they form beneath the enamel and can be difficult to remove with teeth whitening. If you have intrinsic discoloration too severe for treatment with our at-home kit, we could instead mask them with other cosmetic treatments. For example, we can apply a bonding material to the teeth to mask these stains, and also correct minor issues with the shape and surfaces of the teeth at the same time. This is the same material used in our lifelike fillings, and the process takes one visit to completely.
We also have porcelain veneers, which are thin restorations custom-made for your smile, and attached to the front of your teeth. These instantly reshape the teeth and correct issues with damage, malformed structures, and even gaps between teeth, while also masking discoloration. Veneers could make over your smile! Creating and placing them only takes two visits.
If you have any questions about how we treat issues like teeth stains with professional whitening, or how we mask discoloration with bonding or veneers, then reach out to our team today to learn more. You deserve a stunning smile, one that is bright and makes you feel confident, so talk to our team today about possible solutions.
