Learning About The Benefits Of A Teeth Whitening Treatment

Is your smile looking dull, unhealthy, or generally less attractive because of teeth stains? Stains are difficult to avoid, and it can be hard to fight them. Even if your daily oral hygiene routine is effective against cavity formation, it may not stop the steady gathering of stains that lead to discoloration. At our Virginia Beach, VA dentist’s office, we can talk to you about addressing stains with a professional teeth whitening treatment. In addition to arranging cosmetic dental work for patients with dental discoloration, we can provide ongoing support to help you preserve your improved appearance!

Are You A Good Candidate For Teeth Whitening Treatment?

If you have a buildup of stains on your enamel, a professional teeth whitening treatment can benefit you by improving the color of your smile. The whitening agents available at your dentist’s office are capable of removing stains that store bought products frequently leave behind. One thing to note is that not all issues with discoloration are traced back to teeth stains. For those who are affected by internal discoloration, which can occur because of injury, poor tooth health, or as a side effect of some medications, other cosmetic dental procedures can be recommended. We can talk you through the benefits of treatment with porcelain veneers, or tooth bonding treatment, to deal with these forms of discoloration.

What Does This Procedure Involve?

Our patients have two options to choose from if they want to enjoy teeth whitening treatment. One option is to take home a whitening kit that is prepared by your dentist. The kit that you receive will have your advanced whitening agents as well as trays to make their application easier. In ten to fourteen days of daily recommended treatments, you should see your smile become whiter by many shades. Your other option is to come in for a single-appointment office procedure. To speed up the effects of the whitening agents we use, your dentist will activate them with a special curing light.

Preserving Your Improved Smile After Treatment

As exciting as it can be to show off a brighter and more attractive smile, you can be understandably concerned about new stains dulling your teeth and hurting the way you look. Changing your diet can help you avoid this. Watch out for coffee, tea, red wine, and other drinks that are able to leave stains, and be wary of dark and color-rich foods. Be sure to keep up with good oral hygiene habits to fight new stains, too, and be consistent about scheduling regular dental exams.
