The start of the school year is just a few weeks away. You may be helping your little ones prepare for their new classes and preparing yourself for a busier schedule. One way to end summer and be ready for the new season ahead of us it to feel confident in your smile. In today’s blog, your Riverside, CA, dentist is here to talk about professional teeth whitening treatments.
Having A Stain-Free Smile Can Boost Your Self-Esteem
Many of our favorite foods and beverages can cause discoloration to our pearly whites. If you are a daily coffee or tea drinker, you may have noticed that your teeth are not as vibrant as they once were. While having stained teeth does not necessarily mean you have poor oral hygiene, it can make you feel hesitant to show off your pearly whites when meeting people or taking pictures. Since your smile is such a prominent feature, feeling confident in it can boost your self-esteem and leave a lasting impression on others. Whitening your teeth can help you feel ready to take on the back-to-school season and special occasions coming up this fall.
Achieve Professional Results At-Home Or In-Office
We can help you accomplish a more vibrant smile at home or in our office. When you come in for a cosmetic treatment, your dentist will examine your oral cavity to ensure that your teeth and gum are healthy first. An in-office treatment will take about one to two hours to complete. A bleaching agent will be applied to your teeth and activated with a special light to help rapidly remove the stains. If you prefer to do these at home, we will send you home with custom bleaching trays that you will wear every day for about two weeks as instructed. To maintain your results, continue your regular oral hygiene routine and biannual checkups.
We Can Help Conceal Stubborn Stains
If a whitening treatment does not help to remove this discoloration, it may be due to intrinsic stains that occur below your enamel. Other options like bonding or veneers can be done to conceal these blemishes and improve your smile’s appearance. Bonding is a non-invasive method that involves adding composite resin to conceal the imperfection. Veneers are a more invasive option that requires adding a porcelain shell to the front of your tooth. You can discuss these methods with your dentist to find the most suitable solution for your needs.
