How Teeth Whitening Brightens Your Smile

Do you wish your smile could shine? Then instead of hiding your teeth or relying on toothpastes and store-bought strips, talk to our team about a professional solution. We have a tooth whitening system that can offer stunning results from home! At your Farmington, MI, dental office, we can provide brighter smiles with teeth whitening trays and gel.

The Factors Behind Your Discoloration

Why do we develop stained teeth? Well, discoloration could be caused by the foods and drinks we consume. Items high in sugar and starch leave behind particles for bacteria to break down, which creates the plaque buildup linked to visible teeth stains. Beverages with dark pigments, like soda, coffee, tea, and red wine could discolor your smile. Tobacco products are a factor too! Our team can examine your smile to assess the cause of your discoloration and to recommend the most helpful treatment option. Everyone deserves a bright smile, and teeth whitening makes this possible!

Our Teeth Whitening Solutions

Our team can provide a treatment that fights major discoloration and also reduces the risk of tooth sensitivity following treatment. With our in-office procedure, we can use a bleaching gel and special light combination to break up and remove stains in as little as one hour. But we also have an at-home option! Our team will provide you with a set of plastic trays, custom-made for your smile to ensure a comfortable fit and effective treatment. We send the trays home with you, along with plastic syringes with a prescription-strength gel in them. You fill the trays with gel and wear them for a set amount of time, usually about an hour, each day. The total treatment time takes about one week to ten days. The trays and leftovers gel are then yours for touch-ups in the months to come. This provides a smile brightened by eight shades in some cases!

Masking Permanent Discoloration

The trays and gel can address extrinsic stains, which form on the surfaces of the teeth, and even minor intrinsic stains, which form beneath the enamel. But if you have severe intrinsic stains, then you may need a different cosmetic treatment. With dental bonding and/or porcelain veneers, our team can provide lifelike options that mask permanent stains, so you can achieve a brighter smile. If you have any questions about our approach to professional teeth whitening, or if you have stained teeth that need attention, then reach out to our team today. We want you to never hesitate to show off your smile in the future!
