When you have stained teeth and want your smile to shine in time for summer vacation, then you should see our team. With our cosmetic treatment options, we can offer two different options to brighten smiles by several shades. In today’s blog, your Virginia Beach, VA, dentist talks about teeth whitening!
When to Seek Professional Treatment
Do you have teeth stains that make you feel embarrassed? While you can purchase toothpastes that offer whitening, or strips, these results may not be as dramatic as professional level ones, and they could be relatively short lived too. You may also be more likely to develop tooth sensitivity afterward. But with professional teeth whitening, we can help brighten your smile by multiple shades, often in only one visit, and provide results designed to last for months to come. If you have discoloration and are tired of minor store-bought results, then talk to our team about a professional cosmetic solution!
Whitening in One Visit
Our in-office teeth whitening system can often brighten your teeth in as little as one to two hours. If you need results quickly before a big event, such as graduation, job interviews, first date, or conferences, we can help. The procedure is simple. We will apply a protective layer on your lips and gums and place a powerful bleaching gel on the teeth, which we activate with a light. We then repeat the process as needed to significantly brighten your smile in one sitting. We can also discuss tips for keeping your smile bright, such as avoiding tobacco products, brushing and flossing daily, and cutting back on foods high in sugar and drinks with dark pigments, such as soda, red wine, coffee, and tea.
Brighter Smiles From Home
If you have more substantial staining, we could help with a take-home whitening option. Our team will create a custom set of trays that fit your smile and send this home with you, along with multiple plastic syringes of powerful bleaching gel. Each day, you add gel to the trays and wear them for a set amount of time, 30 to 45 minutes a day for some, or overnight for others. Optimal results take as little as a week to ten days. The trays ensure the results are even across your smile, and once the procedure ends, the trays and leftover gel are available for you to use for touch-ups in the months to come.
