Add the “Wow Factor” To Your Smile with Professional Teeth Whitening
If you’re dissatisfied with the color of your teeth, professional teeth whitening at Douglas Hoppe DDS in Eaton Rapids, Michigan, can rejuvenate your smile. Whether stains have developed from coffee, red wine, or tobacco use, Dr. Douglas Hoppe pairs customized whitening trays with professional strength gels to brighten teeth.
Why are my teeth dull or stained?
Everyone admires a bright, stain-free smile, but keeping it that way takes effort. Despite your good oral hygiene, your smile may become dull because of the following factors.
- Daily exposure to coffee, tea, red wine, and certain foods.
- Tobacco use, including smoking, chewing, or vaping.
- Poor genetics.
- Certain medications, such as tetracycline.
- Excessive fluoride exposure (fluorosis).
Over time, these factors can make your once-radiant smile appear dull and aged. While brushing and flossing help maintain oral hygiene, they may not be enough to prevent deep stains. Teeth whitening is often necessary to restore a youthful, vibrant smile. Teeth whitening contains peroxide-based ingredients that break down the surface and deep-set stains on the enamel.
How does Douglas Hoppe DDS whiten your teeth?
Several teeth whitening systems exist, including over-the-counter pastes, pens, and strips. While these store-bought solutions are affordable and accessible, they don’t deliver the same brightness level as professional whitening.
Dr. Hoppe offers custom whitening trays designed specifically for your smile. These trays are crafted using precise impressions of your teeth, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit. This personalized approach allows for even gel distribution, maximizing results while minimizing gum irritation. Unlike generic trays, custom trays provide a predictable, non-messy whitening experience.
Patients wear the whitening trays for at least 30-60 minutes daily. To maximize effectiveness and minimize interference with daily activities, we often recommend wearing the trays in the evening before bed. The length of treatment varies, but many patients achieve the desired results within 7-10 days. It’s as easy as that!
What are the benefits of teeth whitening?
We prefer custom whitening trays because they provide the best comfort and results. Here are the many benefits of customized teeth whitening trays.
- The trays can be used anywhere and anytime—many patients love this convenience.
- They are more affordable.
- The trays can be stored and reused in the future.
- Gradual teeth whitening results in minimal tooth sensitivity.
Once we whiten your smile, you must care for your teeth to maintain the whiteness. Brush and floss your teeth diligently to remove plaque and surface stains. Visit the dentist regularly for cleanings and check-ups. In addition, limit the consumption of staining foods and drinks. However, if you can’t resist the urge, use a straw for beverages and rinse your mouth immediately with water.
