Do you feel completely confident in your smile? If your answer to that question is “no,” you are not alone. Many patients have complaints about their teeth appearing stained or yellow due to some of our favorite foods and beverages we consume every day. Luckily, we have treatment options that can help lift these stains and make your teeth appear brighter. In our blog today, your team at Tate Family Dentistry in Southlake, TX, is here to talk about our professional teeth whitening treatment.
Why Your Teeth Are Stained
Our pearly whites can lose their vibrancy over time due to a few reasons. In some cases, patients have a genetic predisposition to have more yellow teeth. Even with great oral hygiene and other services, your pearly whites can appear stained. Aging can also contribute to the discoloration of your teeth. Additionally, many of our favorite foods and beverages can discolor the surface. For instance, your daily cup of coffee can lead to your smile appearing more yellowish over time. You can slow this down by rinsing your mouth with water after drinking coffee and keeping up with your hygiene routine.
Easy Ways To Lift The Stains
Before getting started with cosmetic treatments, you’ll need a consultation with our team to make sure this is a good option for your needs. Whitening can help lift stains, but if you are experiencing cavities or other damage to your smile, these will need to be restored first. We can discuss potential whitening options that meet your needs once we approve your cosmetic treatments. GLO whitening is one method we use to remove stains from your enamel. You can complete this treatment in the comfort of your home with custom trays and a lightening agent that is safe to use at home. You can enjoy a brighter smile after just a few sessions.
White Restorations & Veneers
Sometimes, a professional whitening treatment cannot remove the blemishes on your teeth. This could be due to the discoloration occurring below the enamel. For instance, blemishes that appear after an injury to your tooth often occur below the surface, meaning we can’t remove them. When this happens, we have alternative treatments to help cover these imperfections. Veneers, for example, are a popular smile makeover treatment. We’ll use custom porcelain shells to cover uneven or blemished structures. Additionally, we have white restorations that can improve the appearance of chipped, cracked, or uneven surfaces, as well as dental fillings and more. This treatment is minimally invasive and can help correct a wide array of cosmetic concerns.
