Achieve A Brighter Smile For The Summer
Summer is right around the corner, and that means it’s time to start planning for your upcoming vacation. After you have booked your hotel and planned your stay, don’t forget to schedule a professional teeth whitening treatment with Tate Family Dentistry in Southlake, TX. This cosmetic service can help lift stains from your pearly whites, improve your confidence, and help you appear more youthful. In today’s blog, we’re here to talk about what you can expect from this service.
Intrinsic vs. Extrinsic Discoloration
Before you can have your pearly whites brightened in our office, you will need a consultation with our team to ensure it is the right option. Your dentist will check the blemishes during your free consultation to determine if they are on your enamel or below. Extrinsic stains occur on your enamel and may be due to your daily cup of coffee or soda. These beverages contain tannins, which can stain your teeth and make them appear dark. Professional treatment can typically address these types of discoloration. You may have tried whitening before without success due to stains below the enamel from injuries or fluoride overuse. We cannot remove intrinsic discoloration, but we can conceal it with other cosmetic treatments.
Remove Stains With Our Treatments
Yellowish or darkened teeth are a common complaint among many patients. Our favorite foods and drinks can naturally cause discoloration over time, but fortunately, we can usually remove it. You may be tempted to purchase over-the-counter strips or toothpastes to do this, but these generic products are not created for your personal use and therefore may not be as effective. Instead, opt for one of our three professional teeth whitening options, which you can complete in our office or at home. We will use a bleaching agent to remove the discoloration and activate it with a light for faster treatment. You can have a brighter smile in just a few sessions.
Target Hard To Remove Blemishes
When a brightening treatment is not working for you, it may be time to consider alternatives such as crowns or porcelain veneers. These alternative solutions can hide imperfections that appear beneath your enamel rather than removing stains at the surface level. Porcelain veneers are custom-created to meet your smile goals. Each veneer is carefully crafted and then added over the front of your natural tooth to help your smile appear whiter or more even. Though more invasive than whitening, this treatment can last for many years and is a popular method. For more information about your options, please feel free to reach out to our team today.
