Why Choose Professional Teeth Whitening?
Over time, your teeth can become stained or discolored from coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco use, certain medications and simply the natural aging process. While over-the-counter whitening strips and toothpastes can offer mild improvement, they often produce uneven or short-lived results.
Professional teeth whitening at our office uses a stronger, more effective whitening solution than what’s available at the store, and our team customizes your treatment to achieve safe, even and long-lasting results.
What Causes Teeth to Stain?
Tooth discoloration generally falls into two categories:
- Extrinsic stains, which affect the outer surface of the tooth and are caused by things like coffee, tea, wine, tobacco and certain foods
- Intrinsic stains, which occur inside the tooth and can result from aging, trauma, certain medications or excessive fluoride exposure during childhood
Note that intrinsic stains, like those caused by medications or root canals, often don’t respond to whitening treatments. In these cases, we may recommend an alternative cosmetic solution like veneers or bonding.
What Happens During a Teeth Whitening Treatment?
We begin with an exam to make sure your teeth and gums are healthy enough for whitening and to determine which type of discoloration you’re dealing with. From there, we apply a professional-grade whitening gel to your teeth, which is left on for a set amount of time to lift stains and brighten your enamel.
Depending on your goals and the current shade of your teeth, we may recommend an in-office treatment for quick, dramatic results, or a take-home whitening kit with custom-fitted trays that you use over the course of a couple of weeks.
