If you have stains on your teeth and want to do something about it, then talk to our team. We can help brighten your teeth with professional teeth whitening. In today’s blog, your team at Cerritos Dental Surgery in Cerritos, CA, talks about brightening teeth with professional whitening.
The Onset of Teeth Stains
What causes teeth stains to form on your smile? For some, this could be due to plaque and tartar buildup, itself a product of factors like poor brushing and flossing and/or a diet high in sugar and starch. Consuming drinks with dark pigments, such as soda, red wine, coffee, and tea could be a factor too. If you smoke cigarettes or vape, or use any tobacco products, this could discolor your teeth. Our team will examine your smile to assess the cause and severity of your teeth stains, allowing our team to choose the best treatment option to make your smile bright, including teeth whitening.
Removing Unsightly Discoloration In-Office
Our team can offer significantly brighter smiles in only one visit with our professional teeth whitening treatment. With this option, you can see stunning results in as little as an hour or two. We will apply a powerful bleaching gel to the teeth, which then breaks up and removes stains. This offers results that are more dramatic and longer-lasting than strips or store-bought toothpastes.
If you have permanent teeth stains, the kind that may resist traditional teeth whitening measures, we could still help brighten your smile. With bonding, we can apply a composite resin to the teeth to cover discoloration. We could also attach porcelain veneers to the front of the teeth, which instantly reshape them and offer dramatic results.
Keeping Teeth Bright
What can be done to help keep your teeth bright? Following your cosmetic treatment, we suggest taking time to brush and floss daily. Cut back on drinks with dark pigments and/or follow them with water to help rinse away tannins. We also suggest avoiding tobacco products and cutting back on foods with lots of sugar and starch. These actions not only help fight teeth stains, but also tooth decay and gum disease.
If you have any questions about how we brighten teeth with our professional whitening treatments, or about bonding or veneers, then contact our team today to learn more and start treatment. You could also use your remaining 2026 dental benefits and health savings account funds before they expire at the end of December. A smile that shines is possible, and we are ready to help.
