With the warmest months of the year right around the corner, you can look forward to lots of fun activities and photos. If you look back at your friend’s and family’s social media accounts you can recall some of the most fun memories being documented and posted online from summer vacations. How would you feel if your best friend posted a beautiful photo of you both, but all you could focus on was your discolored teeth? To avoid that scenario altogether, consider getting professional teeth whitening in Marion! Bruner Dental offers the cosmetic services you need to brighten your smile.
What causes discoloration?
No matter how much we try to keep a sparkling white smile, stains and discoloration are inevitable. Some are more noticeable than others. This can be from the food we consume, our lifestyle habits, and many other factors like genetics. The way we look is mostly inherited from our parents. Even the color of your teeth can be one of those predetermined factors. The food and drinks you consume can also be a reason for your teeth discoloration. Bad beverages for staining include coffee, soda, tea, wine and many others. Your lifestyle habits are also a factor especially when you do cigarette and tobacco smoking, the chemicals in them can cause stubborn stains on your teeth. Poor oral hygiene and inadequate cleaning can also result in teeth discoloration.
What whitening options do I have?
In-Office Teeth Whitening
If you choose to whiten your teeth at Bruner Dental, we’ll use a concentrated bleaching product known as Zoom! Teeth Whitening. While you rest comfortably, we apply Zoom! bleaching gel to teeth and activate it with a special light. Both the gel and light work to lift deep stains and discolorations from the layers of your teeth. Stains disappear, without impacting natural tooth structure. The take-home kit contains supplies to touch up your smile as needed.
At-Home Teeth Whitening
Bleaching at home lets you choose where and when to brighten your teeth. Some patients prefer to transform their smiles in the comfort of their own home. We take an impression of your smile to create custom-fitted bleaching trays and give you a supply of professional-strength teeth whitening solutions. The custom fit of the trays ensures that the bleaching solution covers the entire surface of teeth without leaking. We’ll instruct you on how to use the trays. Just follow our simple directions and in about an hour a day for two weeks, you’ll be amazed with the results!
What are the advantages of professional teeth whitening?
- Compared to the teeth whitening kits that can be bought over-the-counter, the professional whitening system provides immediate results. Whereas with the other methods, you will have to wait for about a month before you can actually see the difference.
- Professional teeth whitening can address stubborn stains that over-the-counter whitening systems cannot do. In professional teeth whitening, stronger agents are being used that are effective in handling severe cases of teeth discoloration.
- Cheap teeth whitening systems at drug stores can increase your teeth sensitivity because they can be applied incorrectly if you do it on your own. It can be dangerous if it comes in contact with your soft tissues and gums. Your dentist will be the best person who can professionally perform the procedure for you.
