Dr. Mark Crabtree, Dr. Charles Jenkins, and Dr. David Stafford offer cosmetic teeth whitening services at Martinsville Smiles Family Dentistry in Martinsville, VA, if you're looking for a bright, sparkling smile.
Many patients ask what they can do to get a whiter, brighter smile. Discoloration in the teeth can come from extrinsic stains, caused by external factors like tobacco use and coffee, or intrinsic stains that occur inside the tooth and are caused by genetic disorders. Whatever kind of discoloration you have, you can achieve a brighter smile with teeth whitening.
If you want to brighten your smile you may have tried drugstore products like teeth whitening strips or gel. People often try these with mixed results at best. These products can actually be misused easily and irritate the gums, doing more harm than good. Professional teeth whitening at Martinsville Smiles Family Dentistry in Martinsville, VA, is how to get your smile brighter and whiter safely!
Professional Teeth Whitening
Your teeth whitening appointment begins with a consultation. You can discuss the shade you're looking to achieve for your smile, and your dentist can determine what results are likely for you based on the level of staining on your teeth.
The procedure for teeth whitening starts with protecting your gums. Then, each whitening treatment is applied and monitored by a dental professional. The whitening gel is applied to the surfaces of the teeth and activated with a special light. The gel may be reapplied during the treatment for maximum effect. A typical whitening appointment can take up to an hour, depending on your level of staining and the final shade you desire for your smile.
A whiter smile helps patients feel more confident, and if you have tried drugstore products it's time to treat yourself to a professional teeth whitening treatment.
