Make Sure Your Smile Is Healthy First
Before getting started with any cosmetic treatments, you first need a consultation with your dentist to ensure your teeth and gums are in good health. A professional whitening service can brighten your smile, but it cannot prevent cavities and other types of damage that you can experience. During your checkup, your teeth will be thoroughly cleaned by a skilled hygienist, and your dentist will carefully examine your teeth, gums, and overall smile. By coming in for your checkup, you can ensure that your teeth are cavity-free, and any necessary restorations can be completed before you move on to cosmetic services.
Avoid Over-The-Counter Whitening Products
It can seem easy to go to your local store or pharmacy and pick up a store-bought whitening kit to brighten your smile. While these can seem convenient and inexpensive, unfortunately, they may not offer the exact results you are looking for and can potentially harm your smile. Instead of OTC products, talk to your dentist about our in-office or at-home whitening kits. An in-office treatment can be completed in under an hour, allowing you to show off your dazzling pearly whites for an upcoming special event or pictures. We also offer custom take-home kits that can be completed at home. This option is convenient and completely customized to your smile.
A Way to Conceal Stubborn Blemishes
In some cases, a professional whitening treatment may not be able to remove all of the stains on your pearly whites. Injuries, health conditions, medications, and other factors can cause discoloration below your enamel, making it difficult or impossible to remove. If your blemishes appear below your enamel, your dentist may recommend other cosmetic treatments such as composite or porcelain veneers. These options can help disguise the appearance of various imperfections, including stubborn stains, surface-level damage, gaps between your teeth, and more. Porcelain veneers are highly stain resistant and can last for several years, making them a great option for patients who need a smile makeover. Resin veneers are also a great option that can create a natural-appearing improved look.
