A bright, white smile can enhance your appearance and boost your confidence. However, over time, factors like coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco use, and even the natural aging process can cause your teeth to become discolored or stained. At Emerald Isle Smiles, we understand the importance of having a smile you’re proud to show off, which is why we offer professional teeth whitening options to help you achieve noticeable, lasting results. Whether you’re preparing for a special occasion or simply want to refresh your smile, our whitening solutions are designed to deliver stunning outcomes tailored to your needs.
Zoom! Teeth Whitening
There are many different ways to whiten your teeth. We offer a range of teeth whitening treatments to meet your unique needs. Dr. Myers is a Zoom provider in Emerald Isle and can help you whiten your teeth using this safe and effective option. Zoom offers patients the ability to achieve a brighter smile in one visit. It can be the perfect smile makeover for an upcoming special event.
Professional Take-Home Teeth Whitening
Dr. Myers often recommends using simple whitening trays because of the quality of whitening and the low cost compared with other methods, as well as the convenience of being able to do it at home. Whitening with trays (sometimes called bleaching) is a type of professional whitening that uses custom-made trays and whitening gel that is only available through Emerald Isle Smiles. We place a whitening gel in a custom-fitted tray that fits perfectly over your teeth. As the peroxide in the gel breaks down, hydroxy radicals help whiten your teeth by removing stains. Unlike whitening strips, this process whitens all your natural teeth and may contain ingredients intended to provide maximum comfort. This at-home process generally takes ten to fourteen days, although you may notice results in as little as three to five days.
Professional Teeth Whitening On The Go
You may be considering teeth whitening to remove stains caused by smoking, coffee, soda, wine, and other foods. Or maybe you have a special occasion like a wedding, job interview, or class reunion coming up. Whatever the reason, we have a simple and effective solution.
Dr. Myers recommends using the Opalescence Go whitening system. It is a professional alternative to over-the-counter whitening options. It’s a simple, fast, and great-tasting way to whiten a smile. It does not require impressions or custom trays. It’s ready to go right out of the package. Here at Emerald Isle Smiles, we use it because of its low cost, simplicity, and effectiveness.
If you have questions about whitening your teeth for a special occasion or to remove stains, please give us a call or request an appointment online.
Internal Bleaching for Tooth Stains
An infection of the dental pulp can give the tooth a darkened, discolored appearance on the outside. Regular whitening procedures cannot treat this kind of discoloration, which is why Emerald Isle Smiles offers internal bleaching, a method of whitening a tooth from the inside out. After a root canal is performed to remove the infected pulp, a safe sodium perborate paste is placed inside the tooth to break down stains from previous decay and give the tooth a whiter color.
As the name suggests, internal bleaching is used to clean the inside of the tooth. Normal whitening options, such as toothpaste, rinses, and whitening gels, only affect the outside of the tooth. Internal bleaching offered at Emerald Isle Smiles can improve your oral health and restore that bright, happy smile!
If you have a problem tooth that doesn’t match the rest of your smile, internal bleaching could be the solution for you. Call us or request an appointment online today if you have any questions, and set up an appointment so that Dr. Myers can determine whether you are a candidate for internal bleaching.
