Do you have stains on your teeth? We understand that this can be incredibly frustrating and can affect your self-confidence, especially when you have an important event coming up. The team at Pacific Hills Dental in Omaha, NE, can help remove discoloration on your pearly whites caused by popular food and beverages. In today’s blog, we’re here to talk about the benefits of an in-office or at home treatment option.
Deciding Between In Office Or At Home Treatment
Stains on the surface of your teeth can appear due to external factors like foods and beverages we consume throughout the day. If you drink coffee every morning, for instance, the tannins in the coffee may discolor your pearly whites or make them appear yellowish. While this happens in a natural process, it can be frustrating for many patients. A professional whitening treatment can be used to remove these stains and brighten your smile. We offer an in-office and at-home method to accomplish these results in a way that is most convenient for you.
If done in our office, we will apply a bleaching gel to the teeth and activated it with a light. The stains will break down rapidly and leave you with a brighter smile in around one hour. You can also do this conveniently at home with our custom take home kits. You will wear the trays and gel for a couple of hours each night as instructed by your dentist. In about two weeks, you can show off your dazzling smile.
If A Whitening Treatment Does Not Work For You
In some cases, the stains on your teeth may have occurred below the enamel due to an injury, health condition, or other reason. When this happens, a professional whitening service cannot be used because the bleaching agent will not be able to break down stains below the enamel. Instead of attempting to remove the discoloration, we can instead suggest treatments that conceal the blemishes and help your smile appear more balanced.
One of these options is a cosmetic bonding and contouring service. Cosmetic bonding uses composite resin to precisely cover up blemishes like stubborn stains, surface level damage, gaps, and more. This method is noninvasive and can be completed in just one appointment. We also offer porcelain veneers which can be used to transform your smile by using custom porcelain shells to cover the front of your tooth. If you have concerns with discoloration, blemishes, or small gaps between your teeth, veneers could be a helpful cosmetic solution.
