Today more than ever, bright white smiles seem to be the norm, and if yours isn’t up to par your self-confidence might suffer for it. The team at Creek Dental can help. Our cosmetic dentists offer teeth-whitening solutions to all our patients in Salt Lake City and Layton, Utah.
If you drink a lot of coffee, tea, cola, or red wine, if you smoke or eat lots of foods with tomato or soy sauce, your teeth might bear witness to your choices. Your teeth might have brown spots, streaks, or be uniformly yellow or gray. Quitting smoking, drinking beverages through a straw, and using a special toothpaste can help your teeth stay whiter. But what if the damage has already been done?
Equally distressing is the fact that some people seem to have been genetically blessed with white teeth, and you’re not one of them.
Either of these scenarios is upsetting and can have you hiding behind your hand every time you crack a smile so people can’t see your stained teeth.
Luckily, there’s a solution.
The cosmetic dentists at Creek Dental offer two methods for teeth whitening in our Salt Lake City and Layton offices:
For our in-office procedure, we use the Philips Zoom Whitening system. We start by placing an appliance in your mouth to ensure your lips do not touch your teeth during the process. Although it looks funny to some, you can rest assured this appliance is completely comfortable.
Next, we apply a whitening gel to your teeth, then we train a special blue LED light on the gel to activate the whitening ingredients. This light speeds the whitening process without adding heat. In just 45 minutes, your teeth will be white again!
For those who prefer the convenience of whitening their teeth at home, we provide Opalescence Go. These easy-to-use trays come in a variety of strengths and are intended to be worn for different lengths of time, depending upon your whitening goals.
All you have to do is simply open the package and pop the tray into your mouth. The best part is, you’re not confined to the dentist’s chair during your whitening — you’re free to watch TV, sleep, read a magazine or do whatever you want (except eat!).
The downside of this option is it takes longer — usually five to seven days — to achieve results. However, many patients find the benefits of whitening at home to be worth the wait.
Our patients are thrilled with the results of our teeth whitening procedures. They can see the difference every time they look in the mirror, and this just makes them smile more!
To get the most out of your teeth whitening sessions, talk to our cosmetic dentists about your eating, drinking, and smoking habits so we can give you the right advice for you. For instance, if you drink your coffee or tea black, adding a little milk will help your teeth stay whiter longer. If you love pizza and eat it several times a week, brush your teeth as soon as you’re finished to avoid re-staining them.
By following our recommendations, you will enjoy your white smile for longer. And when you need a touch-up, just call our office and we’ll make an appointment for you to come in for another session, or you can stop by and pick up a new set of trays.
Our cosmetic dentists love seeing how happy our patients are with the results of their teeth-whitening procedures. To make an appointment to have your teeth whitened, to pick up a set of whitening trays, or to learn more about our whitening procedures, call our offices in Salt Lake City or Layton today.
