Have you been noticing lately that your smile is lacking its sparkle? If so, you've come to the right place. Calm Spring Dental is proud to offer teeth whitening, one of the most sought-after cosmetic dentistry treatments today. The procedure will leave you with whiter teeth and a brighter smile in just one short office visit!
Over time, teeth can change from white to not-so-bright for various reasons. These include the natural aging process, consuming foods and drinks with staining agents, including coffee, tea, and wine, and the use of tobacco products. Tooth discoloration can also result from trauma, the use of certain medications, including tetracycline, and too much exposure to fluoride during early childhood (dental fluorosis).
Tooth whitening is a quick and straightforward procedure that involves applying hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide gel to the teeth's surfaces. The bleaching agent breaks up and lifts the stains, resulting in whiter teeth and a brighter smile.
It's important to note that teeth whiteners may not correct all types of discoloration. For example, yellow teeth usually show excellent whitening results, brown teeth may not respond as well, and gray teeth may not bleach at all. Whitening is not effective when used on dental restorations, including crowns, fillings, veneers, or dentures, or if the tooth discoloration is caused by injury or the use of medications. In these cases, we may recommend different cosmetic dentistry solutions, including dental veneers, to restore your dazzling smile.
We recommend talking to your trusted team at Calm Spring Dental before using any teeth whitening products to ensure safe and effective results. Following are some of the teeth whitening options available to you:
Over-the-Counter Tooth Whitening Products: There are different whitening options you can purchase at your local drugstore. These include peroxide-based whitening gels, paints, or Whitestrips. You can also find whitening toothpaste, which contains a mild abrasive that removes some surface stains.
In-Office Teeth Whitening: This procedure delivers the best teeth whitening results. It involves placing a protective barrier on your gums then applying the professional-grade bleaching gel to the surfaces of your teeth. We may use a special light to speed up and intensify the whitening process. While results can vary from one person to another, most of our patients report teeth that are several shades whiter in just one short office visit!
At-Home Professional Teeth Whitening: If you'd rather whiten your teeth at home, we can provide you with custom made trays and bleaching gel. While at-home whitening may take a little longer, you can be confident that you are using safe products and will achieve the results you desire.
Tooth whitening is one of the safest dental procedures when performed under an experienced dental professional's care. Some patients may experience teeth sensitivity. However, that temporary side effect usually subsides soon after treatment.
To keep your smile bright and white, make sure you maintain a meticulous oral hygiene routine, including daily brushing and flossing, and don't forget to schedule your twice-a-year professional dental cleanings. Moreover, it's best to limit your consumption of food and drinks that stain your teeth and refrain from smoking. You may require periodic whitening touch-ups to maintain your dazzling smile.
If you are searching for a safe and effective way to whiten and brighten your teeth, we invite you to contact Calm Spring Dental in San Antonio, TX. We will evaluate your unique needs and will recommend the best treatments to achieve the desired results. Are you ready for a stunning, white smile? Call us and schedule your appointment today!
