Do you wish your smile looked brighter? If so, then you should talk to our team about professional teeth whitening. With cosmetic dentistry, we can offer shining smiles with at-home and in-office selections. In today’s blog, your team at Family First Dental in Overland Park, KS, about teeth whitening. We are ready to help brighten your smile and offer results that make you feel confident again!
In-Office Treatment
If you want a significantly brighter smile, we can offer teeth whitening in our office. The treatment only takes one visit, perfect if you need results before a first date, job interview, or graduation. With this procedure, our team will apply a powerful bleaching gel to the surfaces of the teeth, and then use a light to activate the gel and lift stains, so you have a brighter smile in as little as one to two hours. You can leave our office with a much brighter smile!
At-Home Care
Our team can also use teeth whitening to provide significantly brighter smiles with our at-home kit. With this procedure, our team will take images and impressions of your bite to create a set of custom plastic trays. We then send these trays home with you, along with multiple plastic syringes of bleaching gel. At home, you add gel to the trays and wear them for about an hour a day over a period of about a week to ten days, and your teeth could be eight shades brighter. This can take on more severe discoloration but without tooth sensitivity.
Masking Permanent Stains
What if you have permanent teeth stains? Known as intrinsic stains, these form beneath the outer enamel. These could be resistant to teeth whitening in many cases, but we can still help. With cosmetic dentistry, our team can mask teeth stains. Dental bonding allows our team to mask these stains in only one visit, covering them with the same composite resin we use in our lifelike fillings. We also have veneers, which can cover the teeth with custom restorations to look natural. In addition to covering up stains, these options can fill gaps between teeth, repair minor injuries, and even to reshape teeth as needed.
If you have any questions about how we significantly brighten smiles with teeth whitening, or about how we help smiles with bonding and veneers, then contact our team today to learn more and get started.
