Your skin is not the only thing that shows the world your true age. Graying hair isn’t either. No matter how young you feel inside, it’s hard to come across as youthful when your teeth reveal just how many times you’ve “turned 29.” Thankfully, you don’t have to wish those tooth stains away or look for some kind of magic to turn back the clock. Professional teeth whitening can help! By erasing years’ worth of stains from your teeth, it can help you look younger and feel better about your smile, and yourself!
Brighten Your Teeth
Professional teeth whitening provides dramatic results, by catering a treatment plan specific to your needs and the degree of staining you’ve experienced. Most patients can lighten their teeth by several shades in a relatively short amount of time, up to eight shades in many cases, through professional whitening.
We offer our patients a combination of in-office and at-home whitening products to maximize results, while limiting the discomfort often associated with whitening products. With any whitening treatment, over-the-counter or professional, be sure to follow the directions given to you to reduce sensitivity or potential damage to your enamel.
Keep Your Smile Looking Its Best
- Proper dental hygiene and preventive care is essential to keeping your teeth bright and shiny after whitening treatment. In addition to twice daily brushing be sure you floss between teeth, and gently brush your tongue as well. Plaque-fighting mouthwashes can also help remove bacteria from your mouth, which over time can harm the enamel of your teeth.
- Staining foods and drinks, like coffee, red wine and berries, can create discoloration much faster than other foods. Drinking water immediately after enjoying staining foods and drinks can help rinse the staining agents from your teeth’s enamel.
- Smoking should be avoided, both for the sake of your teeth and your overall health. Nothing is more likely to cause dark discoloration on your teeth than smoking; cigarettes and cigars both stain teeth.
