When you have stains on your teeth, we want to offer treatment that brightens smiles by several shades! To do so, our team will offer a professional kit you can use at home. In today’s blog, your Maple Grove, MN, dentist talks about what to expect from our take-home teeth whitening kit!
Do you have embarrassing teeth stains on the surfaces of your smile? If so, you can try store bought options, but the results are sometimes minor and short-lived. You could also develop tooth sensitivity. But we can offer professional teeth whitening, with results designed to last months and smiles up to eight shades brighter. When you visit our office, we will examine your smile to assess the cause and severity of your discoloration, so we can select the right solution for you. For many, our take-home teeth whitening treatment can offer a stunning and shining smile in as little as one to two weeks.
How does the take home kit work? Well, you visit our office for a short period so we can take detailed digital images and measurements of your smile, which we use to create a set of custom plastic trays. We then send the trays home with you. We also send home multiple plastic syringes of powerful bleaching gel. When you get home, you begin treatment by filling the trays with gel and wearing them for a set amount of time each day. Usually this is about an hour a day. This continues for one week to ten days on average, and your smile is much brighter. You then have the trays and any remaining gel should you need touch-ups months down the road.
Along with cosmetic treatments to remove or mask teeth stains, we want you to know how to care for your smile and keep discoloration minor. These same tips can also help fight tooth decay and even gum disease. You should brush for two minutes twice daily each day, and floss before you go to bed. Try to limit the amount of sugar in your diet, and see our team for a professional cleaning every six months to remove plaque buildup. You can also cut back on drinks with dark pigments, such as soda, coffee, tea, and red wine.
If you have any questions about how we remove unsightly teeth stains with our professional take home whitening kit, or if you want to see if cosmetic dentistry is right for you, then contact our team today.
