If you want a smile that gives you a youthful glow and communicates optimum health, nothing beats a bright, white smile. But if your teeth are looking dull with stains and discolorations, there’s still hope. Professional teeth whitening from Carlisle Family & Cosmetic Dentistry can help you look and feel more attractive.
The main reason teeth become yellowed or darker is because of the foods and beverages people enjoy every day. Every bite you take and every sip you swallow passes over your teeth on the way to your stomach. Unfortunately, those tasty and nutritious treats often contain stain-causing ingredients that can get trapped in the ridges and pits of tooth enamel. Eventually, there is buildup that stains your teeth and darkens your smile.
Take coffee and tea, for example. Those tasty pick-me-ups both have chemicals that latch on to your teeth. Rinsing with water after a cup of your morning favorite can be helpful, but eventually, you are likely to see the results on your smile.
Other factors that can contribute to the color of your smile include:
Take-home teeth whitening is a popular choice among our patients because it provides consistent, excellent results in the comfort of your own home and on your own schedule. If you’re considering take-home teeth whitening, it might be tempting to use an over-the-counter whitener, but using professional-grade whitening from Dr. Neslund and Dr. Benner at home can make a big difference in the result. Our take-home teeth whitening kits include custom-made bleaching trays that fit you perfectly, making for even and effective whitening.
We will take impressions of your smile and use these impressions to create custom bleaching trays. It only takes a couple of days for us to fabricate your teeth whitening trays. You place the teeth whitening agent in the trays and wear them for a few hours each day. After about a week or two, your smile will have whitened dramatically, giving your overall appearance a major boost. Everyone's teeth stain over time due to foods, beverages, or other environmental factors. That's why teeth whitening is such a popular cosmetic dentistry service at our office.
There’s no reason to live with a smile that is less than white and bright. Take home teeth whitening is convenient and affordable. Contact us to schedule an appointment with Dr. Neslund or Dr. Benner at Carlisle Family & Cosmetic Dentistry. We serve patients from Camp Hill, Mechanicsburg, Boiling Springs, Shippensburg and surrounding communities.
