One surefire way to perk up your smile is to whiten your teeth. Depending on different factors like presence of decay, external vs internal stains, gum health, and current shade of your teeth, your dentist at Highlight Family Dentistry can suggest appropriate whitening methods:
- Whitening toothpastes: Including mild abrasives and other agents, these can remove minor surface stains.
- Professional In-Office Whitening: Usually done in one visit, the dentist applies a whitening agent to the teeth while shielding the gums to reduce possible irritation. A special light is used to enhance the process. Natural teeth can be immediately whitened. All while you enjoy your choice of entertainment on Netflix on the TV attached to the ceiling. You will be given an in-home whitening touch-up kit which will include a custom-made whitening tray fabricated the day of whitening appointment.
- Home Whitening: Typically involving a custom-made tray that you fill with a peroxide-based whitening agent to be applied to teeth over several days, this method is dentist-prescribed but can be lower cost than in-office treatments.
Highlight Dentistry will advise you about the whitening methods best suited for your teeth. A brighter, more cheerful smile may be just one office visit away!
