You will look younger and more dynamic. No more closed-mouth smiles. No more putting your hand over your lips when you laugh. Your easy self-confidence will be evident every time you mingle at a party, meet someone on a date, or sit down for a job interview. This is a change you can\u2019t afford <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">not <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">to make. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Call Creekview Family Dentistry at <a href=\"tel:9725053423\">972-505-3423<\/a> to book an appointment for whitening or any of our dental services. <\/span>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Teeth Staining Is Normal<\/span><\/h3>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As we get older and live our lives, most of us will experience some degree of tooth discoloration. Perhaps we consume dark foods and beverages, perhaps we sometimes drop the ball with our oral hygiene, perhaps it\u2019s a combination of factors. Regardless, while it is inevitable to some extent, a darker smile is not something you have to accept. There are two major types of staining. The first and most common is called extrinsic, and refers to darkening of the outer, or enamel, layer of the teeth. Extrinsic staining also happens to be the most easily reversible. Causes include: <\/span>\n<ul>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Smoking and other tobacco use<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Drinking coffee, tea, and soda<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consuming deeply colored foods like curry, tomato sauces, soy sauce, berries<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Acidic foods can contribute to tooth staining because they make the enamel less smooth, enabling pigments to adhere better. So that glass of white wine may seem innocent enough, but it\u2019s creating a stain-friendly surface. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Intrinsic stains affect the dentin, which is the tooth\u2019s inner structure. Since they are so deep, they are much trickier to eliminate. If bleaching treatments don\u2019t work, other <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cvfdental.com\/cosmetic-dentistry.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cosmetic procedures<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> such as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cvfdental.com\/porcelain-veneers.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">veneers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or bonding can be effective. Causes of intrinsic stains include: <\/span>\n<ul>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Exposure to tetracycline antibiotics in utero or before the age of eight<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Exposure to excessive amounts of fluoride at a young age<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trauma to the tooth<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A rare condition called dentinogenesis imperfecta<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over-the-Counter Kits Don\u2019t Deliver<\/span><\/h3>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, your drug store and supermarket shelves are filled with products that claim to whiten teeth. Unfortunately, you will likely find them to be a waste of money. Many of them are designed to work like our take-home product: they have a mouth-guard-like tray that you fill with the whitener and wear on your teeth. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But these whitening solutions contain lower concentrations of active ingredient than our professional product. Because they don\u2019t work as well, you may be tempted to leave them in your mouth too long, creating discomfort. Plus the ill-fitting trays may leach whitening product onto your sensitive soft tissues. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sensitivity is a common problem with teeth whitening. With our professional whitening products, we can monitor you and provide methods of alleviating the discomfort. With over-the-counter kits, you are on your own. <\/span>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zoom In-Office Whitening<\/span><\/h3>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want a brilliant white smile \u2014 up to eight shades \u2014 fast, Zoom In-Office treatment makes sense for you. When you come in for your appointment, we will examine your teeth to make sure they are healthy enough for treatment. Once we determine you are a candidate for Zoom, we will prepare you and make sure your gums and soft tissues are well protected. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We will apply the powerful Zoom whitening gel and activate it with a special light, repeating the process a couple of times for about 45 minutes total. By the time you leave the office, your pearly whites will be gorgeous and pristine.<\/span>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Patterson Take-Home Whitening<\/span><\/h3>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you don\u2019t require immediate results, we can give you Patterson take-home kits. This system combines professional oversight and results with the convenience of lightening your when you want. The flavored gels come in different strengths and contain fluoride ion, which keeps sensitivity to a minimum. We will help you decide which will work best for your needs. The perfectly fitting trays are comfortable and provide even coverage. With take-home whitening, you have total control over your treatment. Once you are happy with the shade of your teeth, you can stop. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get the glowing smile you deserve with teeth whitening at Creekview Family Dentistry.
