Children are not the only ones heading back to school. College students and teachers will also be heading to their classrooms soon. With that in mind, we would like to remind everyone that we offer professional teeth whitening! In today’s blog, your Richardson, TX, family dentist talks about whitening your smile before you arrive in the classroom, whether you are there to learn or teach!
Same-Day Teeth Whitening
If you want to obtain a brighter smile in only one visit, then you should talk to us about our in-office teeth whitening treatment. With this option, we will apply a protective layer over your lips and gums, and then apply a powerful bleaching gel to the teeth. We then activate the bleaching gel with a special light, which will begin to break up and remove teeth stains from your smile. We then repeat the process as needed. For some, this means a brighter smile in as little as one to two hours. If you want to start your first day with a brighter smile, whether you’re a teacher or student, then talk to us about our same-day system!
Our Take-Home Whitening Kit
If you have more severe teeth stains, then we could prescribe our take-home teeth whitening kit. With this option, we will take impressions of your bite to create a custom set of plastic trays. We then send these trays home with you, along with multiple plastic syringes of bleaching gel. At home, you then add gel to the trays and wear them for about an hour a day on average. You repeat this for one week to ten days, and your teeth could be eight shades brighter in some cases!
Options for Masking Stains (and Other Cosmetic Imperfections)
What if you have permanent teeth stains, as well as issues with gaps between your teeth or the shape of them? Then we could talk about cosmetic treatments like bonding or veneers. With dental bonding, we apply a lifelike composite resin to the teeth to mask stains and reshape the teeth in only one sitting. With veneers, we attach a thin restoration to the front of the teeth that is shaded to blend with your smile. Veneers instantly mask stains, fill in gaps, and reshape the teeth to cover multiple cosmetic concerns at once.
