3 Ways to Brighten Your Smile Quickly

At-home whitening products are often only middlingly effective, and they take time to work. If you want to get a bright smile quickly, you need to explore other options. 

As a teeth whitening expert, Nisha Modi, DMD, can help you get quick, dramatic results. Visit our team at Miracle Smile Dental in Aubrey, Texas. At our office, Dr. Modi can help you identify the right way to get results on your timeline.

Usually, that means choosing one of these three options. 

1. Get your teeth professionally cleaned

Plaque is colorless. But if given time to calcify on your teeth, it turns to tartar. Tartar turns the color of what you consume. If you’re drinking a lot of coffee or cola, it might make your teeth look dingy and brownish. If you smoke, the tobacco can turn the tartar black. 

On top of all of this, tartar doesn’t smell good. So not only does it make your teeth less bright, but it can contribute to bad breath.

The problem with tartar is that your toothbrush and floss aren’t strong enough to remove it. That’s where Dr. Modi comes in. Here at our office, she has specialized dental instruments that can safely remove tartar from your teeth. This procedure allows the white enamel underneath to show, rather than the discolored tartar, brightening your smile. 

2. Get your teeth professionally whitened

At our office, Dr. Modi offers Zoom!® teeth whitening. 

This process takes less than an hour and uses a professional-grade whitening solution paired with a specialized LED light. The light activates the whitening agent to help brighten your teeth by up to eight shades in a single visit. 

It’s a comfortable, highly effective way to get a dramatically brightened smile with a single appointment. 

3. Get veneers

Sometimes, the discoloration on your teeth extends beyond surface staining. Don’t hesitate to talk to Dr. Modi about veneers whether you’ve got a problem tooth or want to transform a full arch of teeth. 

These are thin shells that adhere to the front of your teeth. That way, people see the veneer, not the problem tooth underneath. 

Getting veneers takes two trips to our office: one to prepare the tooth and make a mold so we can customize the veneer and another to have it bonded in place. Still, this option is faster — and delivers much more dramatic results — than the months you might wait for at-home whitening products to work. 

You have options for getting a dazzling smile — and fast. Call our team today at 469-765-3567 or book an appointment using our convenient online scheduling tool to explore the right choice for your teeth and smile goals.
