Whether your smile has lost its natural shine to neglect, smoking, or poor dietary choices, schedule an appointment with Vital Dental for teeth whitening services.
Why are my teeth yellow or stained?
Although you practice near-perfect oral hygiene, stains can form on your teeth. For example, a diet high in dark berries, red wine, coffee, and tea often leads to discoloration. These foods contain strong pigments that become absorbed by the enamel, causing color change over time.
Foods aren’t the only factor to blame for stained teeth. Other causes include:
- Aging
- Poor oral hygiene
- Certain medications
- Any form of tobacco use
- Excessive fluoride consumption
- Certain medical procedures like chemotherapy
- Dental trauma and infection
When stains form beneath the enamel surface, they’ll remain there no matter how you brush and floss your teeth. In such cases, you need the help of a teeth whitening dentist to blast away the unattractive stains. However, we understand the limitations of teeth whitening. While our products can eliminate several stains, sometimes they can only do so much. The dentist will mask your discoloration with veneers, crowns, or bonding in such cases.
What are the professional teeth whitening options available?
Teeth whitening at the dental office can be either in-office or take-home. Before any of these options, the dentist cleans your teeth, fills cavities, and treats gum disease to eliminate underlying issues that may compromise your whitening results. We aim to create smiles that last. That’s why we ensure your brand-new smile is built on a healthy foundation.
Professional teeth whitening options include:
- In-office teeth whitening: Chairside teeth whitening occurs under the watch of a professional dentist, who does everything as you are comfortably seated in the dental chair. Before the procedure, the dentist places a protective barrier on your soft tissues to prevent irritation. Then, we’ll carefully apply whitening gel on the visible surfaces of your teeth. In-office teeth whitening uses potent bleaching agents, making your teeth up to eight shades lighter in just one hour.
- At-home teeth whitening: We offer custom whitening trays to patients who’d like to gradually brighten their teeth at home or on the go. Unlike bleaching trays available in your nearest drugstore, dentists create trays from scratch after taking impressions of your bite. Personalized trays fit snugly over your teeth for consistent application of the bleaching gel. Patients wear whitening trays for about 2-4 hours and get the desired results within two weeks or less.
After achieving your white smile, we’ll give you aftercare instructions to preserve your brightened smile. Typically, you should limit your consumption of foods that cause staining, diligently brush and floss your teeth, and visit a dentist twice yearly for professional cleanings. Lastly, maintain your results using your home whitening kit every six months.
