When you have stained teeth, this could make you feel uncomfortable with your appearance. But we can provide treatment to brighten smiles and help you enjoy stunning results. In today’s blog, your Newport Beach, CA, dentist talks about making smiles shine with professional teeth whitening.
The Onset of Unsightly Teeth Stains
Why do unsightly yellow and brown discolorations form on our teeth? For some, this could be due to plaque buildup, which is brought on by poor brushing and flossing habits, combined with a diet high in sugar and starch. This makes discoloration more visible. Other factors include certain drinks with dark pigments, such as coffee, red wine, soda, and tea. Tobacco use is a factor too. Our team can examine your smile to assess the cause and extent of your teeth stains, so we can choose the right treatment option to brighten your smile!
In-Office Teeth Whitening
With in-office teeth whitening, our team can offer stunning results in only one visit, in as little as one to two hours. When you arrive, we will apply a special protective coating over your gums and lips. We then place the powerful bleaching gel onto the teeth. With a special light, we will activate the gel and then begin breaking up teeth stains. We may repeat the application process as needed, and people could leave with smiles several shades brighter. Since this only takes a short amount of time, you can obtain results before a job interview, first date, or special event. If you have stubborn intrinsic teeth stains, we could discuss masking them with options like porcelain veneers.
Keeping Stains at Bay
What can be done to help these new results last for a long time? You should start by brushing your teeth twice a day and flossing every evening to remove stray food and drink particles and lower the severity of plaque buildup. You should avoid tobacco products, and also cut back on items high in sugar and starch. Drink more water instead of items with dark pigments and sugars.
You should also see a general dentist for a checkup and cleaning visit every six months, so we can remove plaque and tartar to keep your smile bright!
