The Benefits of Teeth Whitening
We live in an image-conscious society, and the state of your smile can affect you professionally, socially, and even emotionally. When polled by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, people said that those with brighter, whiter confident smiles appeared friendlier, smarter, more successful, happier, wealthier, and more attractive to the opposite sex. Centre Smiles can help you achieve the white, beautiful smile you’ve always wanted with teeth whitening.
Types of Teeth Whitening
Our State College cosmetic dental office offers convenient take-home trays and whitening gel as well as professionally administered in-office treatment. Both options can brighten your smile by up to eight shades in as little as an hour or two weeks, depending on what option you choose.
Take-Home Teeth Whitening
At-home whitening is a great choice for State College cosmetic dentistry patients. Busy adults need a way to whiten their teeth! Dr. Starostick will have you choose either clear, customized teeth whitening trays or prescribe pre-fabricated trays for you to use at home. The at-home whitening trays fit snugly and keep the professional grade whitening gel exactly where it needs to be.
You simply follow the directions we provide with your at-home whitening kit to experience optimal results. Each evening, pour the solution into the custom at-home whitening trays and wear them for about an hour. You will notice whiter teeth almost immediately, with the most dramatic changes occurring after two weeks of daily treatments.
In-Office Teeth Whitening
In-office teeth whitening is an excellent option for patients looking to leave our office with a brighter smile in as little as an hour. Our team will apply a rubber dental dam to isolate the teeth and cover the gums. We will apply the whitening gel onto the teeth and leave it on them to breakdown the stains. In cases where the stains are deep-seated, we may need to reapply the whitening gel multiple times to get the desired brightness.
What Causes Dental Discoloration & Staining?
There are many reasons why our teeth darken, yellow, and stain over time. Additives in food, coloring in our drinks, and smoking and other tobacco products can quickly change the color of your teeth. In addition, there are some factors that are simply out of our control, such as aging and genetics. We tend to think of teeth as pearly white, when in reality, the unstained shade of natural teeth can range widely from white to yellow to shades of gray. Even patients who make extra efforts to take care of their teeth can experience staining and yellowing.
