At a young age our teeth are healthy white. But overtime the enamel coating the tooth is so slowly worn down. Causing our teeth to become stained and yellow, which is why teeth whitening is become increasingly popular today. There are a few methods for whitening. They include at home and in office. With in office treatments, you will see faster results, receive the safest treatment for bleaching the teeth, and yield the whitest smile. So, don’t settle for teeth that have become stained from years of coffee drinking, tobacco use, or just aging. Ask your dentist about whitening options that may be right you.
Why are my teeth dark, yellow, or stained?
If you enjoy a cup of coffee every morning and end the day with a glass of red wine, the odds are that your smile no longer shines as it used to. These substances have strong pigments that are easily absorbed by the enamel. Over time, the stain molecules become deeply embedded in the enamel, changing its natural whiteness.
Foods and drinks aren’t the only ones to blame for your stained smile. Other causes include:
- Aging
- Poor oral hygiene
- Smoking
- Dental trauma and infection
- Excessive fluoride consumption (fluorosis)
- Certain medications
- Genetics
Anyone can have discolored teeth despite near-perfect oral hygiene. As you have seen, various factors beyond your control can contribute to tooth discoloration. However, professional teeth whitening at a dental office can effectively combat most of these stains and restore the brightness of your smile. Our dentist will recommend veneers or crowns for tooth discoloration, such as severe fluorosis, dental trauma, and infection, which don’t respond to teeth whitening.
What does professional teeth whitening involve?
Your treatment starts with an initial consultation, during which we examine your oral health and discuss your whitening goals. We’ll treat oral infections and tooth decay and remove plaque and tartar before proceeding with teeth whitening. We build smiles that last by ensuring your oral health is in tip-top condition.
Our office uses Zoom teeth whitening, which is clinically proven to brighten smiles up to eight shades in a single visit. This revolutionary teeth whitening system combines medical-grade whitening gels with light technology to lift even the toughest stains.
During an in-office session, the dentist will secure your lips, cheeks, and other soft tissues with a rubber dam to prevent irritation. Then, we’ll apply the whitening gel on the visible surfaces of your teeth before activating the gel with blue LED light technology. The dentist will leave your teeth for about 15 minutes to allow the whitening formula to work.
Next, we’ll rinse and dry your teeth and repeat the above procedure three to four times until you achieve the desired shade. Zoom delivers dramatic results within an hour, and patients experience little to no sensitivity.
