Causes of Tooth DiscolorationTooth color varies from person to person and can darken with age. Minerals, tobacco, antibiotics, foods, and beverages stain and discolor teeth.
The Tooth Whitening Process
You apply whitening gel to your teeth in a soft, comfortable plastic tray we make for you. The gentle oxygenating action of the peroxide gel safely removes stains from your teeth. We choose the whitening gel that best fits your needs and you choose the most convenient times to wear your tray. Throughout the treatment, we carefully monitor your progress.
You can also whiten your teeth up to 10 shades whiter with our 1 hour in office process.
Length of Treatment
Within a few days of starting your program, you should notice whiter teeth. Normal treatment takes about two weeks, while difficult stains may take longer. Length of treatment is affected by stain type, stain depth, and tooth structure.
TV and Drug Store Tooth Whiteners
Successful tooth whitening is achieved through a program that combines a properly fitting tray, a proven whitening gel, and professional guidance. Many retail tooth whiteners use ineffective "one-size-fits-all" bleaching trays or paint-on solutions that quickly wash away. These products do not achieve the same results as professional treatment.
Longevity of Results
Your unique combination of habits, foods, and tooth structure will influence long term results. Nonsmokers who drink no coffee or tea usually have little change in five years. Some patients need a slight "touch-up" treatment after several years. Our program will help you maintain that bright smile for as long as you want.
