Tooth Whitening Treatments
Tooth whitening is the process of whitening the discolored or stained teeth. Teeth whitening is the most commonly requested cosmetic dentistry by patients. Procedures are fast and the outcome result is incredibly gorgeous smile.
There are various methods of teeth whitening, which your dentist will consult and recommend you the best option available for your teeth. Teeth whitening methods start from the classic toothpaste and toothbrush, to whitening stripes, take home bleaching kits, to advanced power bleaching and laser whitening techniques such as BriteSmile® Whitening System and Zoom!® Teeth Whitening System.
INTRINSIC STAINS
Stains beneath the tooth enamel are known as intrinsic stains. This type of staining is commonly caused by:
- Aging
- Defects within the tooth
- Use of certain antibiotics during tooth development
- Smoking
Also, your diet can affect the brightness of your smile. The following foods and beverages often contribute to tooth stains on or beneath tooth enamel:
- Tobacco products
- Coffee
- Tea
- Red wine
- Colored juices
- Curry
- Soy
- Cola drinks
- Minerals in well water
WHITENING OPTIONS
Tooth whitening results are different for all patients. Those with yellow teeth respond better to whitening treatments, particularly at-office teeth whitening. The enamel is thicker and more opaque and bleaching will restore the original whiteness. Those with blue-gray teeth have more translucent enamel, and getting rid of the stains only allows more of the blue-gray dentin to show through.
If you are concerned about the color of your teeth, ask your dentist or hygienist about various options for tooth whitening, including:
- Bleaching
- Bonding
- Veneers
- Inlays
