Everyone desires a bright, attractive smile, but stains and discolorations make this goal almost impossible. Fortunately, Dr. Darj Dental offers El Paso teeth whitening treatment to remove extrinsic and intrinsic stains leaving your teeth several shades lighter. A bright, attractive smile is important when trying to fit in a social gathering, and teeth whitening can make this possible within 30 to 60 minutes.
An overview of teeth whitening
The bleaching agents used during teeth whitening break down the stains on your teeth, giving you a brighter smile. There are two types of stains, including extrinsic and intrinsic stains. Extrinsic stains are due to external factors like taking dark-colored foods and beverages like coffee and poor hygiene habits, while intrinsic stains are due to dental trauma and aging. Below are the benefits of teeth whitening:
Better oral health
Although many people seek teeth whitening for cosmetic reasons, it can have several oral health benefits. Investing in this procedure will make you more aware of your dental health and take better care of your teeth to maintain the effects. For instance, you will brush and floss more often and adhere to dental visits, preventing dental issues like gum disease and tooth decay.
Safe and comfortable treatment
Although over-the-counter teeth whitening products are cheaper than professional treatments, they can damage your gums and enamel, increasing sensitivity to certain drinks and foods. During your professional teeth whitening appointment, Dr. Darj, a certified dentist, performs the procedure while protecting your gums from the whitening agents, resulting in minimal side effects. Additionally, he will adjust the concentration of the bleaching agent and cover your gums for extra protection. The team will also guide you on how to care for your teeth to reduce sensitivity.
Enhanced confidence
Stained or discolored teeth can make you conscious about your smile, making it difficult to laugh or smile confidently at social events. Professional teeth whitening can lighten your teeth up to several shades brighter, improving the appearance of your teeth and smile. A brighter and whiter smile can help you associate with your peers without feeling embarrassed.
Cost-effective
While professional teeth whitening procedures are more expensive than over-the-counter whitening products, the results are long-lasting, and there is minimal risk of teeth damage. You may need to use over-the-counter products for a long while which could damage your enamel and gums, leading to additional dental expenses. Also, whitening stripes and toothpaste require constant maintenance that can drive up teeth whitening costs.
Customized treatment
Every person’s teeth are different, and the degree of staining and discoloration varies from one person to the next. A dental professional can consider the specific condition and your teeth and your smile goals which can result in better and more consistent whitening effects. Dr. Darj will assess your mouth during your appointment and discuss your goals and expectations. Afterward, he will adjust the treatment duration and the whitening solution’s strength to help you achieve your desired results.
