Keeping Teeth Bright After Cosmetic Treatments
At Heather Ridge Laser Dentistry, we offer comprehensive cosmetic dentistry solutions to address tooth flaws and imperfections and restore your bright, beautiful smile. From mild tooth staining to severe discoloration, we have the perfect solution for you. So, how do you keep your smile white and bright after cosmetic treatment?
What Are Your Solutions for Brighter Teeth?
Here is a look at some of our cutting-edge solutions for a whiter, brighter smile:
- Teeth Whitening: We are pleased to offer the GLO Science in-office and at-home teeth whitening system to lift stubborn teeth stains and discoloration, restoring your smile’s sparkle. We tailor your treatments to your unique needs to deliver stunning smile transformations.
- Dental Veneers: Dental veneers are custom-crafted, ultra-thin porcelain shells that cover the front surfaces of select teeth to mask severe stains and discoloration, as well as other tooth imperfections. The porcelain material mimics the color, texture, translucency, and light-reflecting properties of your tooth enamel, leaving you with beautifully natural-looking results.
- Dental Crowns: If you have severe teeth staining or discoloration, one or multiple dental crowns can transform your smile. We are pleased to offer aesthetic restorations created from the highest quality materials, such as zirconia and e-max. Once in place, your new crown will look just like your natural teeth.
How Can You Maintain Your Bright Smile After Cosmetic Treatment?
After achieving your brightest smile, you’ll want to maintain the results of your cosmetic treatment. The following are tips to keep your teeth shining bright:
- Brush and Floss Regularly: Good oral hygiene practices, including meticulous daily brushing and flossing, help remove plaque and food debris and prevent new teeth stains from setting.
- Limit Dark Foods and Beverages: The last thing you want is for your teeth to stain and discolor once again, so it’s important to limit your consumption of coffee, tea, berries, and other staining foods and drinks.
- Drink Plenty of Water: Water flushes away bacteria, food debris, and sugars, and it neutralizes acids, reducing the risk of cavities, staining, and discoloration.
- Choose Fruits and Vegetables for Snacks: If you’re in the mood for a snack, opt for an apple, celery, or other crunchy fruits and vegetables, which act like natural toothbrushes, gently scrubbing away surface tooth stains.
- Touch-Up Whitening: After completing your in-office treatment, we will provide you with a custom teeth whitening kit to help maintain your beautiful white smile from the comfort of your home.
- Regular Dental Exams and Cleanings: Regular dental exams address problems that can interfere with your smile as they develop, while professional cleanings help remove plaque, tartar, and surface tooth stains, maintaining your bright, healthy smile.
