Teeth Whitening – Boerne, TX
Achieve a Brighter Smile While at Home
Whether you’ve tried to eliminate stains with one of the countless store-bought whitening products on the market or one of the many do-it-yourself trends being promoted by social media influencers, you’re likely unhappy with the result you achieved. At Boerne Dental Center, we want you to feel good about the way you look, which is why we make it easy with take-home professional teeth whitening kits. We invite you to call our office to schedule a consultation to determine how we can target your discoloration and have you seeing a brighter smile in no time.
Who is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?
The only way to know if you are a good candidate for teeth whitening is to schedule a consultation with a member of our team. During this visit, we will evaluate the cause of your tooth stains, which can be the result of aging, certain medications, consuming dark-colored beverages and foods, or even smoking. We will determine the type of stains that you have (i.e., intrinsic, extrinsic, or age-related) and create a treatment plan that is designed to target these areas of discoloration, leaving you with a whiter, brighter smile.
Before we begin, though, we will need to determine if you have any existing oral health problems, like dental decay or gum disease. If you do, we will need to treat these issues before moving forward with teeth whitening.
How Does Teeth Whitening Work?
Our team at Boerne Dental Center consists of two talented cosmetic dentists who will build a plan that uses professional take-home whitening trays and high-grade bleaching gel. When used correctly, you will see a whiter set of teeth in a matter of weeks.
Take-Home Teeth Whitening
We know you value your time, which is why we provide take-home whitening kits. Using the NiteWhite & DayWhite systems, we will take impressions of your smile so that you receive customized whitening trays to use at home. Applying the appropriate amount of bleaching gel to these trays, you will wear them for a certain amount of time overnight as well as during the day. Within a few weeks, you should expect to see noticeable results that leave you feeling more confident in your appearance.
Tips for Maintaining Your Brighter Smile
When it comes to maintaining your brighter smile, you’ll want to make sure you do everything you can to prolong your results. You can do this by:
- Keeping up with your oral hygiene routine at home. Make sure to brush twice a day, floss at least once, and rinse accordingly.
- Limit your consumption of darkly pigmented foods and beverages (i.e., coffee, tea, soda, red wine, curry, berries, etc.).
- Use a straw if you must drink something that could easily stain your teeth, as it minimizes the amount of contact between the liquid and your teeth.
- Maintain regular dental checkups and cleanings with our dental team.
- Ask about touch-ups or additional bleaching gel if you notice you are running low and would like to maintain a whiter smile for longer.
