Teeth staining is one of the most common cosmetic dental concerns a patient can have. Many want to feel their best by looking their best, and having a brighter smile is one of the key ways that they can better meet their ideal self-image. There are several dental products designed to keep your teeth bright, and our practice provides each of these to help you smile confidently.
Zoom!® Teeth Whitening
For many patients, the path to a brighter smile starts with professional teeth whitening treatment. Dr. Siemens provides Zoom! whitening in-office, making treatment convenient for patients. This professional procedure helps you develop a noticeably whiter smile immediately.
In order to maintain the effects of in-office treatment, you can also take Zoom! home with you as a daily treatment option. By wearing custom-fit trays filled with the whitening gel for a set amount of time each day, the whiteness of your smile is able to last for significantly longer between dental appointments.
Crest® Whitening Products
Crest has a series of whitening treatments that can help alleviate mild discoloration. At our practice, you can purchase Crest Whitening strips for use in your daily oral hygiene routine. While buying these products over the counter lacks the drastic results of professional-grade whitening treatments, this option is an excellent choice for patients who only need a minor boost to their smile’s shade.
Composite Dental Fillings
Nothing causes a smile to lose its bright shade quite like a cavity. Not only does the decay itself look like a dark spot in your smile, but the traditional treatment for a cavity is an amalgam filling, which will also darken a tooth due to its silver coloring.
However, our Fresno dental practice can brighten your smile after it experiences decay through composite dental fillings. These restorations are made of composite resin, a material that closely matches the white coloring of naturally healthy teeth. Almost any patient can get composite fillings instead of amalgam, with the only obstacle being the conditions of the insurance provider. By choosing a dental filling with esthetic benefits, you can have a smile that stays bright.
Sonicare® Toothbrushes
In addition to these services that directly whiten the smile, our practice can sell to you Sonicare toothbrushes to help prevent your teeth from losing their bright shade. The smile loses its shade due to external staining, and the more common contributors to these stains are certain drinks and foods. Sonicare’s line of electric brushes has a polish setting specifically designed to remove these stains from your teeth.
