5 Signs It’s Time for an In-Office Teeth Whitening Session at Ace Dental of Temple
You might have been looking at your teeth in the mirror and wondering why they don’t look as bright as they did before. Teeth can become stained or discolored over time, even with good oral hygiene. Luckily, you can achieve that sparkly white smile again with professional teeth whitening. Here are the top five signs that you should start considering an in-office teeth whitening session at Ace Dental of Temple.
Request An Appointment
1) Your Teeth Look Noticeably Dull or Yellow
Tooth color doesn’t always stay the same. Staining from foods and beverages is one reason, but teeth lose their shiny white appearance over the years. As you age, your enamel (the outermost layer) becomes thinner, allowing the inner yellowish dentin layer to show through.
This process is completely normal. But it may make your smile look less vibrant. If you see that your teeth are looking more yellow than the whites of your eyes, it might be time to think about teeth whitening.
2) You're Struggling With Stubborn Tooth Stains
That cup of coffee you probably enjoy every morning might gradually be staining your teeth. Coffee is not the only thing that discolors teeth. Many foods and drinks, like berries, red wine, dark sodas, etc., can have a similar effect if you consume them frequently.
Smoking is another reason for stubborn tooth staining. These dark stains can’t be helped with simple brushing.
Brushing too aggressively can contribute to enamel wear and gum irritation, so it’s better to use gentle brushing techniques rather than trying to scrub stains away. If stubborn discoloration persists, a dental professional can determine whether in-office whitening is an appropriate option.
3) You Have a Special Event Coming Up
Occasions like weddings and job interviews are when everyone wishes to look their best. Here’s the thing. Most people are already caught up with many tasks while preparing for the event that they don’t have time to schedule multiple dental visits for a full smile makeover.
The good news? In-office teeth whitening often just needs one visit to renew the look of your smile! No need to wait for weeks or months before getting the results you want.
4) You Want to Enhance Your Smile
Natural tooth color varies from person to person, and not everyone naturally has very white teeth. Many people naturally have a yellowish tinge to their teeth. That’s normal. But if it’s been making you hide your smile, professional teeth whitening can help.
Many of our patients in Temple who undergo the teeth whitening procedure tell us how confident they feel after getting this treatment done.
5) You Feel Unsatisfied With Over-the-Counter Products
Perhaps you have already tried whitening toothpaste or strips and didn’t see much difference in the shade of your teeth, or maybe your teeth look patchy and uneven now.
These issues commonly happen with over-the-counter products. Before trying another product, consider professional teeth whitening. We customize the treatment for your needs, so you get the best possible outcome.
