Do you want to feel more confident in your smile? Do stains make you self-conscious about showing it off? You aren’t alone, but you also don’t have to be stuck with discolored teeth! Your dentist may offer professional teeth whitening to brighten up your grin quickly! But how many treatments will it take before you can flash pearly whites? Continue reading to learn more about this cosmetic dental treatment.
How Will My Dentist Whiten My Teeth?
Many dentists offer in-office or at-home treatment options. The former is an appointment that can leave you with noticeable results in just about an hour, while the latter can take about two weeks to get the same results. Both options use a professional-grade bleaching agent that breaks down dark particles on your teeth and within your enamel. The main difference is how quickly you want to enhance your smile!
Going to your dentist for teeth whitening will also keep your grin safe. They can ensure that your pearly whites are strong and healthy and don’t experience any sensitivity, which is a common symptom of overusing store-bought products.
How Many Teeth Whitening Sessions Will I Need?
In short, the number of sessions you need depends on your teeth, what option of whitening you choose, and your goals. If you have minor staining, then you may only need just one session, but more severe discoloration may require a couple of sessions to achieve your goals.
How Did My Teeth Start to Stain?
Discoloration can occur in many ways, and even if you are diligent with brushing, you may experience some staining. It can happen as you age, but certain foods and drinks can lead to it as well. That’s because tooth enamel is porous, so staining particles can remain on the top layer, eventually becoming noticeable. Not only that, but habits like smoking can discolor your teeth as well. It’s important to break unhealthy habits like these and drink water after having dark colored beverages to reduce staining!
The good news is that you don’t have to hide away your smile if it’s less than perfect. A professional teeth whitening treatment can spruce up your grin so you can feel more confident in it. Your dentist will look at your teeth and come up with a game plan to get you to your goals. In the end, you’ll be able to show off your brightened pearly whites!
