Choosing The Teeth Whitening That Works For You

omaha teeth whiteningHow do you feel about the shine of your smile? If unsightly stains have marred your smile, we can offer cosmetic treatments to remove them and offer brighter teeth. In today’s blog, your Omaha, NE, dentist talks about our in-office and at-home teeth whitening treatments!

Removing Stains with In-Office Treatment

If you need to make your smile shine quickly, then you may want to talk to our team about our in-office teeth whitening treatment. The procedure involves our team attaching a protective covering to safeguard your lips and gums. We then place a powerful bleaching gel onto the surfaces of the teeth. With a special light, we will activate the gel to begin breaking up and removing teeth stains. The process can also be repeated as needed to ensure optimal results. The entire process could take as little as one to two hours. If you have a first date, a job interview, or a special event on the horizon, then talk to our team about making your smile shine.

Teeth Whitening at Home

If you have more substantial teeth stains, then we could offer results with a take-home teeth whitening kit. To begin, you first visit our office just long enough for us to take impressions of your bite and create a set of custom plastic trays. When you return home, you will bring these trays and multiple plastic syringes of bleaching gel with you. Once at home, you add gel to the trays and wear them for about an hour or two a day in most cases, overnight for others. You do this daily for about a week to ten days, and at the end your teeth could be up to eight shades brighter, truly shining. The trays and any remaining gel are then yours should you need a touch-up in the months to come. The trays ensure the results are even across your smile and prevent the results from being diluted by saliva.

Keeping Your Teeth Bright

Following your treatment, you can make changes to your daily routine to help your smile stay bright. Be sure you brush and floss to control plaque buildup, and see us every six months for a cleaning so we can remove buildup and polish your teeth. At home, cut back on drinks with dark pigments, such as soda, red wine, coffee, and tea. Avoid tobacco products too! If you have any questions about how we remove stains with teeth whitening, then contact our team today.
