One of the most common complaints people have about their smile’s appearance is the coloring of their teeth. Over time, teeth often become yellowed or discolored. With professional teeth whitening, we can brighten your teeth and boost your self-confidence.
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental service in which the shade of your teeth is lightened. Professional teeth whitening is the fastest and most effective way to lighten your teeth. Our dentist may recommend teeth whitening if you are interested in brightening teeth that are stained, yellowed, or discolored.
This allows the crown to effectively strengthen the tooth and protect it from further damage. We use local anesthesia during the procedure to keep you comfortable.
Most people experience tooth discoloration to one degree or another over time. Daily habits and lifestyle factors can make your teeth become more yellow or discolored:
Dark berries, coffee, tea, and red wine can stain teeth over time
Smoking and tobacco products cause yellowing and staining
Inadequate brushing and flossing allows stains to build up
Certain medications can cause tooth discoloration
Natural aging process can cause teeth to yellow over time
After whitening, avoid habits that can discolor your teeth
Both in-office and at-home teeth whitening procedures are available. Each one has its own strengths.
In-office teeth whitening is generally regarded as the fastest and most effective way to brighten your smile. For most patients, we can achieve their desired tooth shade in just one or two appointments. You may wish to repeat your in-office whitening treatments every few years to keep your smile looking bright.
At-home teeth whitening can be completed in the comfort of your own home. However, it typically requires more treatments (usually three to six) to achieve your desired appearance. You can repeat the treatment as you wish at home whenever you want to brighten your smile again.
