Nothing ruins your confidence quicker than a discolored smile. It is not uncommon for your teeth to turn yellow or brown as you age. However, consuming certain foods and drinks, like coffee and tea, will cause stains to develop faster. Not to mention, poor oral hygiene and lifestyle habits, like smoking, will intensify the darkening of teeth. With nearly 100% of adults believing an attractive smile is important, you need an effective way to remove tooth discoloration. Now, you have a lot of options to whiten your teeth. As your cosmetic dentist in Kansas City, we are here to help you choose the best option for a bright smile.
Options to Whiten Your Teeth
Nowadays, over-the-counter whitening kits are easily available. Many turn to over-the-counter whitening products because they are affordable and effective. Unfortunately, you will quickly find these products do not produce drastic results or results that last. These products do not contain professional-grade whitening agents. The only way to achieve drastic results that last is with professional teeth whitening from your dentist.
Now, you have multiple options to whiten your teeth with your dentist. Many people choose in-office teeth whitening treatments. In-office treatments will give you instant results for a bright smile. However, these treatments often dry out your teeth. This is why we recommend at-home whitening kits. You will achieve professional quality results, without drying out your teeth.
Benefits of At-Home Kits
Unlike over-the-counter whitening kits, at-home whitening treatments from your dentist contain professional-grade whitening agents. As a result, you will remove tough stains right from your own home. While the results will not be immediate like that of in-office treatments, you will save your teeth from drying out while seeing results in as little as 10 days.
After performing an initial consultation to determine the cause of your tooth discoloration and to ensure you are a candidate for whitening treatments, we will create a treatment plan. Using impressions of your teeth, we create customized whitening trays. With trays created that are specific to your teeth, you will have a comfortable fit while reducing irritation to the gums. In addition, the trays will ensure the even distribution of the whitening agent to give you consistent results.
Along with the trays, we will provide you with the professional-grade whitening agent. You will use the trays daily right from your own home. This makes it easy to brighten your smile around your own schedule. As you wear the trays, the whitening agent will deeply penetrate the enamel to lift away tough stains. In as little as 10 days, a new, bright smile will appear. With the right aftercare, your beautiful new smile will last.
