Have you noticed that your smile is not as bright as you would like it to be? Your teeth can become stained over time due to various factors, such as aging and some beverages or food we consume and cause your pearly whites to appear yellowish in color. While this is a natural and normal part of life, we understand that it can be frustrating. The team at Audubon Dental Center in Audubon, IA offers professional teeth whitening treatments that can help remove extrinsic stains and boost your confidence.
Common Causes Of Staining On Your Teeth
It’s normal that your teeth will become stained overtime. However, when you have an important coming up or just want to feel more confident, you may want help addressing this concern. Some of our favorite foods and drinks can stain your teeth and cause them to appear yellowish. Coffee and tea, for instance, have tannins in them that discolor your pearly whites. Other factors, like aging, genetics, and habits like smoking cigarettes, can also cause discoloration. You can try to limit your consumption of items that cause stains to help slow down the discoloration.
Come In For A Consultation First
The first step before getting started with any cosmetic treatment is a consultation with your dentist. During this visit, we will carefully examine your teeth and gums to ensure that you are in good oral health. We can discuss the concerns you have with the appearance of your pearly whites, and what the optimal solution may be for you. A professional brightening treatment may be an ideal treatment for patients who have stains on their enamel. If the blemishes occur below the enamel, alternative treatments like porcelain veneers or bonding may be a more effective solution.
Whiten Conveniently At Home
We know that it can seem easy to reach for over-the-counter whitening products at the store or pharmacy. However, many of these easy to buy toothpastes or brightening strips contain harsh ingredients and can be harmful to your smile. Our method of professional whitening is just as convenient but safer for your teeth and addresses your specific needs. We will send you home with custom trays and the bleaching agent to help break down the stains on your enamel. You will wear the trays with the bleaching gel every day for the amount of time instructed by your dentist. In just a few weeks, you can show off your bright and confident smile.
