Do you want a more attractive smile, one that is free of unsightly teeth stains? Then we can help with our professional teeth whitening systems! In today’s blog, your Lake Orion, MI, dentist talks about brightening smiles in 2026 with in-office and at-home teeth whitening.
The Benefits of a Brighter Smile
If you feel uncomfortable with the appearance of your smile, this could impact your confidence levels and even how you interact with others. Don’t hide your smile from the world if you have discoloration, talk to our team. Teeth stains form over time due to numerous factors, such as plaque and tartar buildup, poor brushing and flossing habits, drinks with dark pigments, and even tobacco use. Our team can examine your smile and ask about your routine to assess the cause and severity of your discoloration so we can choose the best option to brighten your smile by several shades!
Whitening at Home
If you have severe teeth stains, we could still brighten your smile by up to eight shades with our at-home teeth whitening system. With this option, you visit our office briefly, just long enough for us to take impressions of your bite and create a set of plastic trays. You then take these trays home, along with multiple plastic syringes of bleaching gel.
At home, you simply add the gel to the trays and then wear them for a set amount of time each day. The trays ensure saliva doesn’t dilute the gel, and that it can cover the teeth eventually and ensure proper results. For some, optimal results just take a week to ten days. You can then keep the trays and any remaining gel for touch-ups as needed.
Same-Day Improvement
Our team could also offer same-day teeth whitening, with optimal results taking as little as one to two hours. We will apply a powerful preventive coating to the lips and gums, and then place the bleaching gel onto the surfaces of your teeth. A special light will activate the gel and then break up and remove teeth stains. You see optimal results in the same day, perfect if you need last minute results before a job interview or first date.
If you have any questions about our professional teeth whitening treatments or about our other cosmetic treatments, such as porcelain veneers, then reach out to our team today to learn more. We want to help you start your new year with a smile that is bright and shining!
