As we approach the holidays in just a few weeks, you may be preparing to take lots of pictures with your friends and family members. Before you send out those holiday greeting cards, you may want to give your smile a boost and lift those stains. Your team at Mai Dental Care in Garland, TX, offers in-office and at-home teeth whitening options that help you brighten your smile quickly. These cosmetic services can help you look and feel your best as you head into the busy holiday season. In today’s blog, we’re here to talk about what to expect from these whitening treatments.
Whiten Your Teeth In-Office Or At Home
We offer two methods of whitening so that you have options that fit your needs. If you’d like to remove stains from your teeth rapidly, the in-office option may be the most useful. We will first apply a protective barrier to your gums before adding the whitening gel to your teeth. The gel helps to quickly break down the discoloration and leaves you with a more vibrant smile. If you have a bit more time from now until your special event, we also offer a convenient at-home solution. Unlike generic store bought kits, our at home brightening kit is customized to your smile and can lift your smile several shades. You will add the gel to the trays and wear them every day for about thirty minutes. This process takes about one week, and your results can last for several months.
Help Maintain Your Results For Longer
Now that you have achieved your smile goals, we know that you want to maintain your results for as long as possible. After having a brightening service done, remember to continue practicing your daily oral hygiene routine and visit your dentist twice a year as usual. Some of your favorite foods and drinks may be staining your teeth, so remember to ask your dentist about what you should avoid or limit after brightening your smile. In general, you may want to reduce your consumption of coffee, tea, soda, and similar items, as these have tannins in them that can stain your pearly whites.
Conceal Blemishes That Brightening Can’t Remove
What should you do about discoloration or blemishes that weren’t lifted during your treatment? In some cases, the stains on your teeth can be caused by intrinsic factors. Alternative treatments like cosmetic bonding or veneers can be used to hide these imperfections and create a more even-appearing look. Like professional teeth whitening, cosmetic bonding is minimally invasive and long lasting.
