Having whiter teeth is an easy way to enhance your cosmetics, look younger and improve your self-confidence! Often times the foods and drinks we enjoy, can cause our teeth to stain. Smoking is not only detrimental to your health, but also causes the teeth to turn yellow. Simply aging can cause the teeth to turn yellow.

This happens to almost everyone, but we do not have to accept yellow teeth. Teeth whitening is fast, easy and affordable. The safest, strongest and fastest acting whitening solutions are only available from your dentist. Professional in-office bleaching takes about 1 hour and can lighten your teeth dramatically!

The results can last several months after the application. First, your gums are covered with a special protective barrier. A professional strength bleaching solution is applied to the tooth’s enamel. Often times a special light or laser will be used to make the bleach more effective and lessen your application time.

Another way to whiten your teeth is with a take home kit prescribed by your dentist. First, your dentist will make molds of your teeth to create a custom fit tray. You will fill your trays with a small amount of bleach and wear the trays for a period of time as directed by your dentist. Having a trusted and trained dentist administer or oversee your bleaching treatment can ultimately lead to maximized results and minimized complications.

Your custom fit tray will help reduce tooth sensitivity and gum irritation by making sure only the teeth are in contact with the whitening solution. Over-the-Counter whitening trays and strips will not provide the same fit. Remember, that whitening is not permanent but can slow down the natural discoloring process. Avoiding foods and drinks that cause staining will help your whitening last longer, as well as doing a minor touch up when needed.

Remember results depend on the natural tooth color, the type of stain, and the method of whitening. Please consult with your dentist to find out if teeth whitening can enhance your smile.
