With the holiday season approaching us, you may be looking for a way to look your best for your holiday parties and family get-togethers. For many people, the main concern they have with their appearance is stains and blemishes on their teeth. Discoloration can be caused by some of our favorite foods and drinks, and it can be frustrating to have a smile that is not as vibrant as it once was. Your team at Central Park Dentistry in Charles City, IA, offers professional teeth whitening to remove these stains and boost your confidence. In today’s blog, we’re here to talk about how this cosmetic treatment could help you.
Avoid Harsh Over The Counter Products
It can seem easy and convenient to purchase whitening toothpastes, mouthwash, or kits from your local store. These products seem convenient and are widely available, making them seem effective. However, these may contain harsh ingredients that can cause more harm than good to your smile. Instead of reaching for these OTC products, talk to your dentist today about a professional whitening treatment. Our method can be done in the comfort of your own home, so you can spend less time at the dentist office.
Brighten Conveniently At Home
How does brightening at-home work? First, you’ll need a consultation with your dentist to discuss your goals and review your oral health. After being approved for this cosmetic service, we will create a custom set of trays that you will wear at home with whitening gel. You will wear the trays every day for about two weeks as instructed by your dentist. The bleaching agent helps break down stains on your pearly whites and leaves you with a more vibrant smile. To best maintain your results, remember to continue practicing your daily oral hygiene routine, visit your dentist regularly, and avoid items that can stain your teeth.
Talk To Your Dentist About Cosmetic Treatments
In some cases, your teeth may not respond to a professional whitening treatment. This may be due to the stains appearing below your enamel or from injuries. When this happens, your dentist may be able to offer additional treatments to help conceal these blemishes. Methods such as cosmetic bonding and contouring are minimally invasive and can help create a more balanced smile. If you are looking to upgrade your smile, porcelain veneers can be used to improve the shape, symmetry, and shade of your pearly whites. You can discuss these options with your dentist to discover which method may be the most suitable for your needs.
