If you have discoloration on the surfaces of your smile, this could be due to a number of factors, and this could leave you feeling self-conscious. But we can remove these stains, even in severe cases, so you can enjoy brighter results! In today’s blog, your team at Lake Orion Family Dentistry talks about brightening smiles with teeth whitening in Lake Orion, MI.
A Look At Teeth Stain Origins
How do teeth stains from on the surfaces of our smiles? For some, consuming foods and drinks high in sugar and starch could be a factor, as this allows plaque and tartar to form and make stains more visible. Poor brushing and flossing, along with infrequent cleaning visits, could also lead to serious plaque buildup and discoloration.
Consuming drinks with dark pigments, such as soda, red wine, tea, and coffee could also discolor your teeth! You could also have stains due to tobacco use. Our team will examine your smile to assess the cause and severity of your discoloration, so we can choose the right teeth whitening treatment option for you.
Whitening Your Smile In-Office
With our in-office teeth whitening treatment, our team can remove stains from your smile in as little as one to two hours total. The process involves using a special bleaching gel, which is applied to the teeth and activated with a special light. This lifts discoloration and the process can be repeated as needed, so after one sitting you have a noticeably brighter smile. The results tend to be more substantial and longer-lasting than those offered by store-bought strips and toothpastes. This is perfect if you need results fast, such as a first date, job interview, or a special event, like a wedding or a graduation.
Our Take-Home Kit
For more severe staining, we could offer smiles up to eight shades brighter with our take-home kit. With this option, we will create a set of custom plastic tarsi for you, and send these home with you. We also offer a series of plastic syringes containing a powerful bleaching gel. Treatment is simple. You add gel to the trays and wear them for a specific amount of time each day, usually about an hour, and do this for a week to ten days.
