Transform the Look of Your Smile with Effective Professional Teeth Whitening

Teeth are a precious asset – they can make or break your smile. Unfortunately, many people struggle when it comes to showing their teeth. Some don’t smile as often because of chipped, gapped, or missing teeth. Many times, though, it’s because of tooth staining. Trying to genuinely smile with stain-filled teeth can be a tough thing to do. Luckily, you can regain your stain-free smile with professional teeth whitening treatment from Longmont Dental in Longmont, Colorado.

Why are My Teeth Yellow?

Wondering why your teeth are stain-filled? Even with diligent oral care, a yellowed look on your teeth is inevitable as you grow older. Over time, your enamel wears down, and the naturally yellow dentin underneath your tooth starts showing through.

Besides aging, teeth staining may happen due to:

• Poor oral hygiene
• Indulgence in stain-causing substances like dark wine, soda, and coffee
• Dental trauma
• Smoking or chewing tobacco
• Certain medications, such as antidepressants
• Excessive fluoride exposure
• Genetics

If tooth discoloration takes a toll on your smile, always turn to a cosmetic dentist for treatment. We will assess your smile and devise a suitable treatment to breathe life into your smile.

Professional Teeth Whitening Options

Teeth bleaching is one of the easiest ways to transform your smile. However, when you make shortcuts, it can leave you with subpar results and sometimes a damaged smile. With many over-the-counter products flooding your nearest drug store, you can be easily swayed to jump on the bandwagon. After all, these products are cheap, convenient, and promise over-the-moon results.

The reality is that DIY teeth whitening products produce okay results. But who wants to settle for average results? If you want to whiten your teeth safely and effectively, always leave the job to professionals. Professional teeth whitening offers two options:

• In-office teeth whitening: Professional teeth whitening doesn’t start until Dr. Kurt Knechtel has given you a clean bill of good oral health. We can’t whiten your teeth if you have cavities and gum disease. Besides, we recommend a dental cleaning before the whitening session. If all is set, we put a device on your lips to keep your mouth open and apply a whitening gel on your teeth, careful enough to avoid it leaking into your gums. You may need several repeat sessions, but the job will be done in less than one hour! Depending on your tooth discoloration, we can improve your smile by up to eight shades.
• At-home teeth whitening: Your dentist may also give you custom-made whitening trays to brighten your smile in the comfort of your home or office. You only need to wear the whitening trays for about 20 minutes a day, and the results will be visible after two weeks.

Once through with the whitening session, we will encourage you to brush and floss your teeth daily. When these two are combined with professional teeth whitening, your smile will look whiter and healthier.
