If you have stained teeth, we have a solution! With our take-home teeth whitening kit, we can brighten your smile by several shades in as little as one to two weeks. In today’s blog, Stubbs Family Dentistry in West Allis, WI, talks about making smiles shine with teeth whitening!
The Causes of Your Teeth Stains
How do unsightly stains form on the surfaces of our teeth? Known as extrinsic teeth stains, these can be caused by issues like tobacco use. Plaque and tartar buildup, brought on by issues like sugar-rich diets and poor brushing and flossing, could also make strains more visible. If you drink beverages with dark pigments, such as soda, tea, red wine, and coffee, this could lead to discoloration on your smile. Our team can examine your smile to assess the causes of your discoloration and suggest the right solution, which may include our at-home teeth whitening.
Our Take-Home Teeth Whitening Kit
We can offer a take-home kit to help your smile stay bright and beautiful. When you arrive at our office, we will take impressions of your bite to create a set of custom plastic trays, which fit comfortably over your teeth. We then send these home with you, along with multiple plastic syringes of a powerful bleaching gel.
When you return home, you will each day add gel to the tartar and wear them for a set amount of time, usually about an hour. Doing so each day for one to two weeks could brighten your teeth by up to eight shades. The trays ensure the results are evenly spread across the front of your teeth, and prevent saliva from diluting the results. The trays and any remaining gel could be used for touch-ups in the months to come. For some, this could offer stunning and longer-lasting results when compared to whitening toothpastes and store-bought strips.
Making Your Results Last
To help ensure your newly bright smile stays that way for longer periods, you should drink more water and cut back on beverages with dark pigments, or at least follow them with water to rinse away particles that could stain. Be sure to cut back on the sugar in your diet and make time to brush and floss daily. A visit for a cleaning can offer harmful buildup and also help ensure your smile stays brighter.
