A bright, radiant smile can leave a lasting impression and boost your confidence in social and professional settings. Our practice offers professional whitening treatments to help you achieve a brighter, more youthful smile safely and effectively.
Our In-Office Whitening Treatments
Our in-office whitening treatment is a quick and convenient way to achieve noticeable results in just one visit to our dental office. During the treatment, a potent whitening gel is applied to the surface of your teeth and activated with a special light or laser, accelerating the whitening process and breaking down stubborn stains and discoloration. Within a single appointment, you can enjoy a smile that is several shades brighter and more vibrant.
Common Causes of Tooth Discoloration
Tooth discoloration can occur due to various factors, including:
- Diet: Consuming foods and beverages that are rich in pigments (coffee, tea, red wine, and berries) can stain the enamel and cause surface discoloration.
- Tobacco Use: Smoking or using tobacco products can lead to yellow or brown stains on the teeth over time.
- Poor Oral Hygiene: Inadequate brushing and flossing can allow plaque and tartar buildup, leading to surface stains and discoloration.
- Age: Tooth enamel naturally wears down as we age, revealing the yellowish dentin layer underneath. This can make the teeth appear dull or discolored.
- Medications: Certain medications, such as tetracycline antibiotics or antihistamines, can cause intrinsic staining or discoloration of the teeth from within.
Whitening Maintenance and Touch-Ups
To maintain your newly whitened smile and prolong the results of your whitening treatment, make sure to practice good oral hygiene and avoid habits that can cause staining, such as smoking or excessive consumption of staining foods and beverages. Additionally, periodic touch-up treatments may be recommended to refresh and maintain your results over time, ensuring your smile stays bright and beautiful for years to come.
