Your smile is a big part of an excellent first impression. If your teeth are stained or discolored, it may impact your self-esteem, as well as how comfortable you are around other people.
Teeth can become discolored for a variety of reasons, such as:
However, the good news is that getting your teeth whitened is relatively easy, and there are several options. The best way to achieve whiter, brighter teeth is to consult a dentist. Having your dentist supervise the whitening process will ensure that you aren't doing damage to your teeth while you achieve your goal of a better smile.
There are two main methods of teeth whitening that your dentist may choose to treat your discoloration issues.
Your dentist may opt to perform in-chair whitening. There are a few different products that your dentist can apply to your teeth while you're in the office. These teeth whitening services usually include spending some time with your teeth under a light. After the appointment, your teeth may appear several shades lighter, so satisfaction is generally instant.
Your dentist may also choose to give you a take-home whitening tray. The whitening product is applied onto the tray, and then the tray is inserted into your mouth with your teeth in the product for a set amount of time. This method takes longer to see results, but some people prefer seeing a gradual change over time.
Your dentist could also offer a combination of the two by performing in-chair whitening services and giving you a take-home product to use as well.

In June, I started calling different places to become a patient with a new dentist since I moved to a different side of town! I was welcomed with open arms through the phone with Mrs. Jane and we actually had a friend in common... what a small world.
She sent me the paperwork I needed to fill out prior to coming to my first appointment. I initially came in for a general cleaning since it's been a year, but I knew deep down inside I really needed to get my two sets of bridges in place as well. I've honestly been dreading this procedure for the last 5 years due to the unknown, but Dr. Miles showed me a video and of course I had a lot questions.
I had learned that I could get both done at the same time, and it would be cheaper too. So with several visits to the dental office, I finally received my permanent bridges on Thursday, August 8th. I am happy camper for sure and after the anesthesia subsided and of course after taking a nap... all I could think about was eating I nice big ole steak from Texas Roadhouse! I couldn't believe I could chew on both sides of my mouth because for the past few years I would only chew on the right side!
If I could give your practice 10 stars I would because the staff were relatable, funny and truly cared about me...I wasn't just another patient or another number! I can truly say my smile is brighter than ever because I am no longer self-conscious about my back missing teeth.
Ooh and one more thing, I even received a thank you card in the mail after my first visit and it truly made my day. 😁 I would recommend Schroeder & Schroeder Dentistry to anyone!!
