It’s the start of the new year, and that means it’s time to reset your goals. This time of year is also a great time to refresh your smile and give yourself a boost of confidence. Your team at Kozlow and Rowell Dentistry in Dallas, TX, offers several cosmetic treatments that can help remove stains, hide blemishes, and improve the look of your pearly whites. In today’s blog, we’re here to talk about how a professional teeth whitening treatment can brighten your smile for the new year.
The Reasons for Stains on Your Teeth
Discoloration on your teeth can be caused by several factors. In many cases, some of your favorite foods and beverages could be causing your pearly whites to appear a bit more yellow. If you drink coffee or tea, for instance, the tannins in these drinks can discolor your teeth. These stains can often be removed with a professional whitening treatment in many cases. Other types of discoloration occur below your enamel and can be caused by injuries or aging. Unfortunately, this type of intrinsic discoloration cannot be removed, but we may help conceal it with other cosmetic treatments.
Zoom! Is Here To Help
Zoom! Teeth whitening allows you to whiten your teeth in about an hour. Your dentist will apply a whitening agent to the surface of your teeth and activate it with a light. The hydrogen peroxide ingredient used during this process can help rapidly break down the discoloration on your enamel. This procedure offers several advantages, including being a quick and long-lasting process. It should not cause discomfort for the patient, and your results can last for several months. To best maintain the results from this procedure, make sure to follow your regular oral hygiene routine and visit your dentist regularly for checkups.
A Way to Hide Stubborn Stains
Unfortunately, not all stains on your pearly whites can be removed. Some types of discoloration may be caused by intrinsic factors such as injuries, aging, fluoride overuse, and more. These blemishes occur below the enamel, meaning the whitening agent cannot reach the stain to break it down. Alternative options like cosmetic bonding or veneers can help disguise the imperfections on your teeth. Cosmetic bonding is a minimally invasive option that uses a lifelike material to cover blemishes like spots, gaps between your teeth, chips, and more. We also offer porcelain and composite veneers, which use shells to cover the front of your tooth. You can discuss these options with your dentist to decide which method best suits your needs.
