If you have issues with the appearance of your smile due to teeth stains, we can help with cosmetic dentistry. Our professional teeth whitening treatments can lift stains, and we even have treatments like veneers to mask them! In today’s blog, your team at Viva Dental Family Dentistry offers patients in Dallas, TX, brighter smiles!
The Onset of Dental Discoloration
Teeth stains are a very common cosmetic complaint, and one that can impact your professional appearance. For adults and older teens, we could offer professional help with teeth whitening. Our treatments are designed to offer more dramatic and longer-lasting results than many store-bought options. But what happens to cause discoloration in the first place?
Causes vary, but discoloration could be the result of plaque and tartar buildup, itself the result of factors like a diet high in sugar and poor brushing and flossing habits. But for others, consuming beverages with dark pigments on a regular basis, such as soda, tea, red wine, and coffee, could be a source of trouble, as could tobacco use. Lack of professional cleanings to remove plaque and tartar could also leave discoloration. In addition to brightening smiles with teeth whitening, we can discuss ways to improve your oral hygiene and help teeth stay brighter for longer!
Teeth Whitening at Home and in Our Office
We can offer a significantly brighter smile with professional teeth whitening. We will look at the severity of your stains and then recommend the most appropriate option. If you have more minor stains and need to see improvement quickly, such as prior to a first date or job interview, then our team could offer an in-office option. With this selection, we will use a special light and powerful bleaching gel to lift discoloration on your smile and offer a brighter appearance.
If you have more severe cases, we could offer an option you use from the comfort of your own home. With custom trays and a powerful bleaching gel, you can help brighten your smile by as many as eight shades in a week to ten days.
Bonding and Veneers
While teeth whitening can lift most stains from the surfaces of your teeth, what if you have intrinsic ones, permanent discoloration that forms beneath the enamel? In a case like this, we can still offer ways to brighten your smile. With bonding and veneers, we can mask these stains, and at the same time address other issues with the shape and surfaces of the teeth at once.
