Who is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?
Tooth discoloration can be caused by a multitude of different factors. Here are some of the more common causes:
- Pigmented foods and beverages
- Using tobacco products
- Sugary and acidic foods
- Aging
- Genetics
- Poor oral hygiene
- Certain medications
While some tooth discoloration can be prevented, sometimes it is completely out of your control. This is because there are two different types of staining: extrinsic and intrinsic. Extrinsic stains occur on the surface of the teeth and are typically caused by foods, drinks, and tobacco products. This is the type of discoloration that can usually be lifted with teeth whitening. Intrinsic stains can occur as a result of medical conditions and medications, so this is something you’ll need to discuss with your doctor.
How Does Teeth Whitening Work?
We offer two different types of teeth whitening so you can brighten your smile in whichever way seems fit:
Take-Home Teeth Whitening
If you want to lift discoloration in the comfort of your own home, a take-home teeth whitening kit is a great option. We will start by examining your smile for any existing oral health issues. Next, you will receive customized trays and a whitening gel that’s stronger than anything you can find over the counter. After just a couple weeks of wearing these trays for a set amount of time each day, you will see beautiful results.
In-Office Teeth Whitening
