If you have smile flaws like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paintedskiesdental.com\/teeth-whitening.html\">stains<\/a> and discoloration, you risk making a poor first impression, and you will lack the confidence that you need. Thankfully, there is a remedy \u2013 teeth whitening from your dentist in Las Cruces. As you read on, you\u2019ll learn how the process works and the different treatment options available from your cosmetic dentist.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Zoom! Into a New Smile!<\/h2>\n<p>Patients are able to see phenomenal results in the appearance of their smiles using the Zoom! whitening method. It incorporates a high-powered gel and a completely custom application to lift troublesome stains from your teeth.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s how the process works:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Protection <\/strong>\u2013 The first steps taken are to secure your soft tissues. A staff member will insert a barrier that will cover your gums, tongue and cheek. Thus, only your teeth will be exposed to the treatment process.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Application <\/strong>\u2013 The next step is to apply the whitening gel to the surface of your teeth.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Light Exposure <\/strong>\u2013 The properties in the gel are then activated by your dentist shining a special light on your teeth. Each round of treatment lasts 15 minutes and will be completed three times.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Touch-ups <\/strong>\u2013 In around an hour, you\u2019ll have teeth that are up to eight times brighter than they previously were. Your dentist will then equip you with a take-home kit for touch-ups so you can maintain your beautiful new smile.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Need More Convenience?<\/h2>\n<p>For patients who desire to treat their stains and discoloration in a more convenient manner, your dentist provides a take-home whitening kit. Unlike the store-bought alternatives, it still uses professional strength whitening agents and trays custom-designed to fit your mouth. Thus, you won\u2019t have to worry about gum irritation.<\/p>\n<p>The take-home process is simple \u2013 patients wear the custom trays filled with the whitening gel for 20 \u2013 30 minutes each night. Typically, the procedure takes one to two weeks to complete.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Maintain Your Smile<\/h2>\n<p>After your teeth are whitened, you want to maintain your new look, so it\u2019s best to limit your consumption of foods and drinks that are highly pigmented like coffee, tea, wine, dark berries and tomato paste. If you choose to indulge in any of the above, then be sure to brush and floss your teeth immediately afterwards. It\u2019s also helpful to keep some mouthwash on hand for times when you\u2019re out and about and can\u2019t perform your normal oral hygiene routine.<\/p>\n<p>You want to smile with confidence, and teeth whitening in Las Cruces can make it happen. Just reach out to your cosmetic dentist to schedule a consultation, and you\u2019ll be on your way to smile perfection!<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Dr. Ramon M.
