What does your look say about you? Is it making the right impression? Did you know that one of the quickest and most cost effective ways to enhance your smile is to whiten your teeth? At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.okdentalexpressions.com\/teeth-whitening.html\">Dental Expressions<\/a>, we want to help you brighten those pearly whites with teeth whitening in Oklahoma City!<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3>Why Do My Teeth Discolor?<\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s natural for our teeth to loose their brightness and luster over time. There are also other factors that contribute to discoloration such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Tobacco use<\/li>\n<li>Certain medications<\/li>\n<li>Age<\/li>\n<li>Certain foods and beverages, such as coffee, tea, red wine, curries, soy sauce and red sauces<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Genetics and lifestyle choices can also contribute to the staining and discoloration of your smile. But the good news is, whitening your teeth can help!<\/p>\n<h3>In-Office Whitening<\/h3>\n<p>The perfect option for busy patients needing immediate results is our in-office whitening system. In one short appointment, we\u2019ll apply a high strength whitening gel that will leave your teeth six to ten shades lighter. Our in-office whitening technique is known for eliminating tough stains and discoloration that many over-the counter products couldn\u2019t remove.<\/p>\n<h3>Take-Home Whitening Trays<\/h3>\n<p>For patients who prefer to whiten at their leisure, we offer take-home whitening trays. We\u2019ll create custom fit plastic trays by taking impressions of your teeth. We\u2019ll discuss your goals and desires for your teeth with you, and teach you how to properly apply the whitening gel in order to protect your gums from injury.<\/p>\n<p>We recommend that initially, you whiten for 1-2 weeks to achieve the desired results. After that, you will have your trays available to you to brighten your smile anytime you like. We always have additional whitening gel available for purchase at Dental Expressions. This is a great option for folks who want to update their smiles before the next big evening out or vacation.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s always advisable to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/oral-health\/features\/teeth-whitening-at-home-dentist\" target=\"_blank\">whiten your teeth<\/a> under the supervision of your dentist in case you experience any injuries to your soft tissues or issues with sensitivity.
