Do you have teeth stains? If so, this can impact the overall beauty of your smile. Instead of hiding your smile or relying on less-than-stellar store-bought options, consider professional cosmetic treatments. In today’s blog, your Seattle, WA, dentist talks about our approach to professional teeth whitening.
The Impact of Teeth Stains
Teeth stains can dull our smiles and make us feel embarrassed. These unsightly shades of brown and yellow could be caused by tobacco use, drinks with dark pigments (coffee, red wine, soda, and tea), or infrequent brushing and flossing habits. Lack of professional dental cleanings could be a factor too! Our team can offer teeth whitening to remove these stains and brighten your smile, with results that can last several months to come. We will examine your smile to assess the cause and severity of your teeth stains, so we can offer the most appropriate treatment option.
Brighter Smiles in One Sitting
Do you need results quickly before a big event, such as a graduation, wedding, job interview, or first date? Then you may benefit from our in-office treatment. With this teeth whitening option, our team will apply a protective covering to the lips and gums, and then place a powerful bleaching gel to the teeth. A special light is then used to activate the bleaching gel and brighten the teeth. We may repeat the process as needed, and your teeth could be several shades brighter after only one to two hours.
Take-Home Teeth Whitening
Our at-home teeth whitening option can brighten smiles by up to eight shades, and can tackle more severe staining. The process starts with an initial office visit, in which we will take detailed digital images and impressions of your teeth from multiple angles. We then use them to create a set of plastic trays, custom-fitted for your smile. We send the trays and multiple plastic tubes of bleaching gel home with you. At home, you add gel to the trays and then wear them for the amount of time we recommend, usually one to two hours each day. After a week to ten days, your teeth could be brighter! The trays and any remaining gel are then yours to use for touch-ups in the months to come.
