Why Choose Professional Teeth Whitening?

Over time, teeth can become stained or discolored due to factors like aging, diet, smoking, and certain medications. While over-the-counter whitening products are widely available, they often deliver inconsistent results and can cause sensitivity or irritation. Professional teeth whitening at Smile Creations offers several advantages over store-bought solutions:

• Customized Treatment: Our whitening treatments are tailored to your specific needs and dental history, ensuring the best possible results for your smile.
• Faster Results: Professional whitening delivers dramatic results in a shorter amount of time, often lightening your teeth by several shades in just one session.
• Safe and Comfortable: Our whitening treatments are applied by experienced professionals, minimizing the risk of sensitivity or damage to your teeth and gums.
• Long-Lasting Effects: With proper care, the results of professional whitening can last longer than over-the-counter alternatives, helping you maintain a bright smile for months or even years.

What Causes Teeth Stains and Discoloration?

There are several factors that can contribute to the staining and discoloration of your teeth, including:

• Food and Drinks: Dark-colored beverages like coffee, tea, red wine, and soda, as well as certain foods like berries and tomato sauce, can stain the enamel over time.
• Tobacco Use: Smoking or using tobacco products can cause yellowing of the teeth and deep stains that are difficult to remove.
• Aging: As we age, the enamel on our teeth naturally thins, revealing the yellowish dentin layer beneath and leading to a duller smile.
• Medications: Certain medications, such as tetracycline antibiotics or chemotherapy drugs, can cause intrinsic stains that affect the color of your teeth.
• Poor Oral Hygiene: Inadequate brushing and flossing can lead to plaque buildup, which can contribute to tooth discoloration.

Professional Teeth Whitening Options at Smile Creations

At Smile Creations, we offer two convenient options for professional teeth whitening to suit your lifestyle and preferences:

1. In-Office Teeth Whitening

For patients looking for fast, dramatic results, in-office teeth whitening is the ideal solution. In just one visit, we can lighten your teeth by several shades, giving you a noticeably whiter smile.

• Procedure: During your in-office whitening treatment, Dr. Matthew Heck or Dr. Annalisa Heck will apply a professional-strength whitening gel to your teeth. The gel is activated with a special light, which helps to break down stains and lighten the color of your teeth. The process takes about 60 to 90 minutes, and you’ll leave the office with a visibly brighter smile.
• Immediate Results: You’ll see a significant difference in the color of your teeth immediately after your treatment, making it perfect for those preparing for a special occasion or event.

2. Take-Home Whitening Kits

For patients who prefer to whiten their teeth at their own pace, we offer custom take-home whitening kits. These kits provide professional-grade results from the comfort of your home.

• Custom Trays: We will take digital impressions of your teeth to create custom-fitted whitening trays that ensure even coverage and prevent irritation to your gums.
• Professional-Grade Whitening Gel: Your take-home kit will include a professional-strength whitening gel that’s stronger and more effective than over-the-counter products.
• Convenient at-Home Use: You’ll wear your custom trays with the whitening gel for a specified amount of time each day, usually for about 10-14 days. The results are gradual but can be just as dramatic as in-office whitening, giving you flexibility and control over your treatment.

Maintaining Your Results After Whitening

After your teeth whitening treatment, it's important to maintain your results by following good oral hygiene practices and avoiding habits that can cause stains. Here are a few tips to help keep your smile bright:

• Brush and Floss Regularly: Brush your teeth twice a day and floss daily to remove plaque and prevent new stains from forming.
• Limit Stain-Causing Foods and Drinks: Try to reduce your consumption of dark-colored beverages like coffee, tea, and red wine. If you do enjoy these drinks, consider using a straw to minimize contact with your teeth.
• Avoid Smoking: Tobacco use is one of the leading causes of tooth discoloration. Quitting smoking not only improves your overall health but also helps maintain your white smile.
• Regular Dental Cleanings: Schedule regular dental cleanings with Smile Creations to remove surface stains and keep your teeth looking their best.
