Removing Stains, Creating More Confident Smiles
Being embarrassed by one’s smile is something no one should have to experience. This unfortunate reality, though, is all too common for most people, especially when stains and discoloration are the problem. At Southridge Dental, Dr. Tandon and our team want to turn your discomfort into confidence with professional teeth whitening in Inver Grove Heights. With specialized take-home kits designed to produce radiant smiles, we can deliver a fast and effective solution that will leave you looking your best. Call us today to learn how we can help you achieve a brighter, more beautiful set of teeth.
Who is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?
To be considered for teeth whitening, Dr. Tandon will need to meet with you to discuss your concerns and goals. She’ll also need to perform an oral examination to determine if you show any signs of dental decay or gum disease. These issues, if present, must be addressed before moving forward, as they can create additional problems later on.
In general, though, most people who are unhappy with the color of their teeth can undergo professional teeth whitening. Since stains can arise for various reasons (i.e., age, dark-colored beverages and foods, smoking, etc.), this cost-effective and highly reliable solution can produce exceptional results – far better than anything found at your local drugstore.
How Does Teeth Whitening Work?
Each dentist uses a different method of teeth whitening to achieve noticeable results; however, at Southridge Dental, Dr. Tandon offers patients a take-home option that includes the revolutionary Opalescence Go! system.
Take-Home Teeth Whitening
With the help of Opalescence Go, we can provide you with custom-made trays that are crafted from impressions taken of your smile. You will use these in combination with a high-powered bleaching gel that we will provide. This product’s stronger solution helps penetrate the enamel to remove surface stains as well as those that exist deep below the surface. When used as instructed, you can expect to see a brighter set of pearly whites in just two weeks.
Tips for Maintaining Your Brighter Smile
Your decision to invest in professional teeth whitening is something you’ll want to make sure lasts as long as possible. This means taking precautionary steps to maintain your results. You can do this by:
- Adopting a routine oral hygiene system at home that includes brushing for two minutes, twice daily. You’ll also need to floss between teeth to remove any bacteria and plaque as well as rinse with an antimicrobial mouthwash as instructed.
- Seeing Dr. Tandon and our team for regular dental exams and teeth cleanings.
- Inquiring about touch-ups when you begin to notice your teeth are not looking as bright as before.
- Staying away from unhealthy habits, like smoking and using tobacco products that can easily stain teeth.
- Limiting your consumption of dark-colored foods and beverages, as they can discolor your teeth and undo your results.
