    Teeth Whitening for a Brilliant Smile

    A quick and simple process of removing stains or whitening natural tooth enamel so you can have a brighter, whiter smile.

    Get Whiter Teeth In-Office or At Home

    Is a cup of coffee how you start your day? Do you enjoy tea in the afternoon? These are just a few of the habits that may make your life more pleasurable but have a negative impact on the appearance of your teeth. Dark liquids, acidic foods, and various other factors can stain your teeth over time, making them appear yellow and dull. Teeth whitening products remove surface stains, giving you whiter teeth and confidence in a brilliant smile.

    How Does Teeth Whitening Work?

    There are two types of tooth whiteners available for patients: in-office whitening treatments and home whiteners. Both employ a peroxide gel bleaching agent. At-home systems contain less concentration of peroxide. In-office systems contain more concentrated peroxide and typically result in the best whitening results.

    Generally, the more time a stronger solution spends on your teeth, the whiter your teeth will be. However, the higher the peroxide content in the whitening agent, the less time it should be applied to the teeth. Side effects from keeping the gel on too long are tooth dehydration and increased tooth sensitivity.

    Your dentist will determine the kind of bleaching agent appropriate for you. It will not give the same result for all people. It cannot bleach or lighten the porcelain crowns, composite-colored tooth-colored bonding.

    Professional teeth whitening tends to make teeth from three to eight shades lighter. Office treatments typically require visits ranging from a few 30-to-60-minute appointments. However, some dentists can do the procedure in just a single, two-hour session.

    Dentist-prescribed, at-home tooth bleaching systems work similarly, but use moulded trays filled with bleaching gel. Trays are worn over the teeth for one to several hours a day for up to four weeks, depending on tooth color.

    Professional tooth whitening makes teeth brighter, faster, and with longer-lasting results.

     

    Reasons of Discolored teeth

    Many things can cause stained or yellowed teeth:

    • Coffee and tea
    • Dark and light-colored carbonated beverages
    • Sports drinks
    • Acidic or strongly colored foods
    • Smoking
    • Fluorosis
    • Some prescription medications
    • A lack of a proper oral health routine
    • The aging process
    • Trauma
    • Genetics

    Patients with stained or discolored teeth due to these or other factors are good potential candidates for teeth whitening.

    Keeping Your Whiter Smile

    While whitening cannot prevent stains from forming again in the future, good oral hygiene will help to preserve your brighter smile. Some patients slow the speed at which stains accumulate by drinking beverages that stain through a straw and reducing their consumption of those beverages. Swishing your mouth with water after eating or drinking will also help maintain the brightness of your teeth. And quitting smoking can have a tremendous impact on keeping your teeth their whitest.
