Overtime, your pearly whites can be discolored due to your lifestyle habits, the food that you eat, the types of medicines that you take, or effects of medical treatments. Smiling with stained teeth affects your appearance making you self-conscious every time you smile, talk, or laugh. It can also prevent you from attending social events.
Dr. David A. Smith can help you brighten your smile with teeth whitening treatment. Just visit the clinic in Carmel, IN so that your dentist can assess if this is a good option for you.
Take note that the procedure is not recommended for:
– Children below 16 years old
– Pregnant women
– Lactating moms
– People with sensitive teeth and allergies
– Patients with gum problems, tooth decay, worn enamel, and exposed tooth roots
– Individuals with restorative pieces like crowns, fillings, and bridges
– Those with darkly stained teeth
In case you’re not qualified for teeth whitening, he’ll suggest an alternative treatment for you. Feel free to discuss your goals and concerns so he can give you options.
To determine if you’re a good candidate for teeth whitening, your dentist will perform a complete examination of your mouth. This includes an evaluation of your medical and oral history wherein your dentist will investigate on the cause of the discoloration. As mentioned earlier, certain medications and medical treatment can stain your teeth.
Professional teeth cleaning is also necessary before the actual procedure. Once it is confirmed that teeth whitening is right for you, he’ll give you options. The length of treatment will depend on the extent of discoloration, the shade that you want to achieve, and your schedule. This can take more than one appointment.
Ask your top Indiana cosmetic dentist on how you can brighten your smile. For consultation, call 317-597-8748 and schedule an appointment.
