If you have ever wanted to whiten your teeth at home or in-office but found bleaching treatment to cause discomfort, you’re not alone. call Cedar Dental in Cedar Rapids, IA today at 319. 364. 7108 we offer many different options to brighten your smile including microabrasion. This solution whitens just the surface, allowing for a less invasive treatment and leaving you with a beautiful smile.
Why Can’t I Just Use Store Bought Kits?
There are many ways to lift stains off teeth at home or at the dentist. One way is store bought whitening strips. These can be useful if you are in a pinch but often can be much harsher and leave your mouth feeling sensitive. Store bought strips can contain ingredients like hydrogen peroxide, which can cause damage to your gums and teeth. They do not always fit a person’s mouth or desired color level, so they may not be as effective as a professional treatment.
Before using any kind of cosmetic-related treatments at home, you should talk to your dentist.
How Do I Know Which Cosmetic Service To Choose?
We offer a variety of different whitening services in our office. Before choosing, you should always consult with your dentist about the best method. Factors like the degree of staining, when you want to achieve results, and the status of your oral health will determine what the best method is for you.
At home, personalized, professional kits – We take a mold of your mouth to create a custom tray. You get to take this personalized tray home and add a solution that will give you a dazzling smile. The benefit of this is that it is catered to your needs and fits your mouth much better than generic whitening strips.
Microabrasion – This is an alternative in-office method of removing stains. Instead of using a custom tray with the professional cleaning gel that our at-home kit includes, we use chemicals to remove extrinsic staining from the enamel. After your service, we’ll wash and polish your teeth for you, leaving you with a shiny smile.
This is a great solution especially if you are sensitive to the bleaching ingredients in whitening gels or don’t want to wait several days to see results. With Microabrasion you can see the results within a single sitting.
Aftercare
To keep teeth pristine after your microabrasion, make sure to keep up with your typical oral hygiene routine. You may experience sensitivity for a couple of days after this procedure, so opt for sensitive toothpaste. Do your best to avoid any foods or drinks that might stain your teeth. And of course, make sure that you continue seeing your dentist for regular visits.
