Tips for Keeping Your Teeth White
Once you've gone through your initial course of teeth whitening treatments, there are many ways you can ensure your results last as long as possible. Some useful tips include:
Cutting down on stain-causing foods and drinks: Properties of certain substances in dark-colored foods and drinks make it easy for them to penetrate your enamel. Avoiding or greatly reducing the amount of these foods and drinks you consume will go a long way toward keeping your teeth brighter for longer.
Eating healthy, nutritious foods: Changing your diet is an excellent way to promote long-lasting results. Beyond avoiding foods that stain your teeth, there are certain foods that can help maintain your results. Some delicious options to help promote your results include, strawberries, leafy greens, sugar-free gum, and drinking plenty of water. Our team will give you detailed information on foods to avoid or add to your diet to keep your smile brighter, longer.
Quitting tobacco products: Tobacco products are not only bad for your overall health, but they can quickly stain your teeth as well. Cutting down on intake will help, however, eliminating tobacco use to preserve your teeth-whitening results.
Maintaining proper oral hygiene habits: Staying dedicated to performing effective daily oral hygiene is key to minimizing plaque buildup. Our team will provide tips on brushing and flossing in the most effective way to keep your teeth bright and beautiful.
What Is Take-Home Whitening With Opalescence®?
Our team provides you with comfortable, custom-fit trays used in conjunction with effective Opalescence whitening formulas. This method of whitening teeth utilizes professional-grade materials you dispense into your tooth-shaped trays. You then simply place the trays over your teeth and wait for the recommended amount of time to see extrinsic stains fade away.
The whitening formulas we provide can only be offered by dentists or dental professionals and are significantly more powerful than what you can purchase over the counter. Teeth whitening at home with the Opalescence take-home system is a great way to get even results without making periodic dental trips.
Teeth Whitening FAQs
Teeth whitening is a great, convenient option for getting noticeable cosmetic improvements quickly. This minimally invasive treatment is simple to administer on your own at home. However, it's normal to have questions about the process. Our team will happily answer your questions anytime, and we'll provide detailed instructions at your appointment. Some of the common questions we receive about our teeth whitening services include:
For some people, teeth whitening can cause some increased sensitivity, but it will generally go away within a few days. However, if you experience extended or exaggerated discomfort during or after your treatment, contact our office right away, and we'll work to get you the relief you need.
The length of your treatment can depend on several factors, including the extent of your staining or yellowing. Our dentist will be able to give you a fairly precise idea of how long your treatment will take until you see results. Many patients generally notice results within the first few days or weeks of treatment.
We want to ensure you get the effective treatment you need. Our team will record the shade of your teeth before whitening and will be able to give you a detailed idea of how much you've progressed when we see you for your subsequent checkups.
