Ways To Achieve Whiter Teeth
Do you look in the mirror and feel that your teeth aren’t as white as they used to be? Do you notice yourself smiling less because of the color of your teeth? If you have some concerns about the color of your smile, then the Prescott Dental Arts team is here to address those concerns. Our office provides two whitening options to help our patients get the sparkling smile they have always wanted.
HOW DOES TEETH WHITENING WORK?
There are many things that can stain teeth and cause yellowing. Coffee, tea, cigarettes and red wine, for example, are known to stain teeth. With the use of whitening toothpastes you can sometimes remove surface stains on your teeth. However, whitening toothpaste can be very abrasive and can cause damage to teeth over time. The best option for those who want whiter teeth is dental whitening gels. Whitening gels can be used with either take home whitening kits or in-office by dental professionals.
TAKE HOME WHITENING
Prescott Dental Arts can help you whiten your smile with the use of take home whitening. Take home whitening is used with trays that are made in office but used at home. At your initial appointment impressions are taken and trays are fabricated to fit the mold made of your teeth. These trays will be used to hold the whitening gel tightly against your teeth. You will be given instructions on how to use take home whitening and for how long.
IN-OFFICE WHITENING
If you are looking for a quick one day way to whiten your teeth Prescott Dental Arts also provides in-office whitening. With in-office whitening, a higher concentration of whitener is applied to the teeth for a shorter period of time. A laser is used to activate the whitener. The laser not only activates the whitener, it also helps desensitize the teeth as it whitens. With only one appointment, lasting about an hour, you can leave the office with a whiter smile.
