How Do Teeth Get Stained and Discolored?
Just about everyone dreams about having a white, bright and healthy smile. Unfortunately, years of exposure to highly pigmented foods and beverages, smoking, natural wear and tear, and certain medications and illnesses can leave your teeth dull and discolored. The good news is that professional teeth whitening treatments can safely lift teeth stains, restoring your smile’s natural sparkle.
Can Teeth Whitening Lift All Types of Stains?
Our professional-grade whitening agents are highly effective at removing stains resulting from smoking or exposure to foods such as coffee, tea, or wine. In general, yellowish teeth beach well, but gray or brown teeth may not show the desired results. Moreover, whitening only works on natural teeth, so it’s not effective for use on dental restorations such as crowns, fillings, or dentures.
Dr. Behling will evaluate your unique needs to determine whether you’re a candidate for teeth whitening. If it isn’t right for you, she may recommend a different cosmetic procedure to deliver your perfect smiles, such as cosmetic bonding, dental crowns, or porcelain veneers.
Over-the-Counter Teeth Whitening Products
You’ve likely seen numerous ads and commercials promising white, Hollywood-worthy smiles. From whitening strips, whitening toothpaste, and DIY whitening kits, there’s a whole world of home whitening products to choose from. While some of these whitening solutions may remove surface stains and deliver slight results, many are sure to disappoint. Moreover, some over-the-counter bleaching products can cause severe tooth sensitivity and serious damage to your teeth and gums.
Professional Teeth Whitening
At Wisconsin Family Dental, we’re pleased to offer professional teeth whitening for the safest and most effective results. Our fully customized treatments will deliver the tooth color and shade that best match your smile.
We’ll start the procedure by cleaning your teeth and placing a protective shield over your gums and lips. Next, we’ll apply a hydrogen or carbamide peroxide gel to your tooth surfaces. The bleaching agent will penetrate your tooth enamel, breaking down those unsightly stains. The result? Whiter, brighter teeth with incredibly natural results.
If you’d prefer to whiten your teeth at home, we’re happy to provide you with custom trays and whitening gel. We may also recommend using your professional at-home whitening kit for touch-up treatments to maintain your dazzling smile.
Is Professional Teeth Whitening Safe?
Teeth whitening is considered to be one of the safest dental procedures when administered under the care of an experienced dental professional. Some patients report tooth sensitivity, but that temporary side effect usually subsides soon after treatment without intervention.
