newport beach whiteningWhen you have teeth stains, you may want to remove them and help your smile shine. Don’t rely on less-than-dramatic store-bought options. Instead, talk to our team about help with cosmetic dentistry! In today’s blog, your team at Balboa Dental Surgery talks about professional teeth whitening in Newport Beach, CA.

The Causes of Teeth Stains

How do unsightly stains form on the surfaces of our teeth? Extrinsic discoloration, or surface stains, form on the outer enamel due to factors like poor brushing and flossing habits or a diet high in sugar, which creates plaque and tartar buildup that makes discoloration more visible. Other factors include tobacco use or possible drinks with dark pigments, such as coffee, tea, soda, and red wine. As part of your treatment experience, we will examine your smile to assess the cause and severity of your discoloration. We can then decide if our in-office teeth whitening treatment is right for you!

Break Up Your Unsightly Discoloration

Our in-office professional teeth whitening system can help brighten your smile by several shades, and in one visit! If you need results before a first date, a job interview, or a special event, we can offer results quickly and effectively. These are more dramatic and longer-lasting when compared to the results store-bought strips and toothpastes offer.

Our team will use a special gel, which we coat the teeth with, to break up and remove stains. We take care to protect the gums and lips from exposure, and the process can be repeated as needed for more severe stains. Now, if you have intrinsic discoloration, which forms under the enamel and can be more difficult to remove, we could mask them with bonding, veneers, or a combination of these two cosmetic treatments.

Keeping Your Smile Bright

Following your teeth whitening treatment, we want to make sure you know how to lower your risk of tooth decay and protect your smile from serious staining before you see us again. We will talk about proper brushing and flossing habits, and how to avoid snack and meal selections that could premature plaque buildup and visible discoloration. These actions also help lower the risk of tooth decay and even gum disease. If you have any questions about how we tackle your stained teeth, or about tips for keeping your smile bright and healthy for years to come, then reach out to our team today to learn more and start your cosmetic treatment process!
