Why causes teeth to discolor?
You can practice the best oral hygiene and still have teeth discolored by the foods you eat, what you drink, and the natural effects of aging.
You can have yellowing teeth because of:
- Foods and drinks like coffee, black tea, tomatoes, and red wine
- Smoking and/or chewing tobacco
- Age causes your enamel to thin and the darker dentin to show through
- Trauma
- Some medications
Teeth-whitening can erase many of these stains to get you a dazzling, white smile.
How does teeth whitening work?
The dentists at Healing Dentistry offer in office the ‘ZOOM’ by Philips, Teeth Whitening. We uses LED light technology to activate the whitening process. It targets stains caused by coffee, wine, tea, tobacco, and other external causes.
The formula used at Healing Dentistry is much stronger than any whitening product you can buy on your own. When applied to your teeth, the bleach breaks down the stains, making them less concentrated. The LED light speeds up whitening by shining a UV (ultraviolet) light as the bleaching compounds take effect.
The providers also offer take-home whitening trays customized to fit your mouth if you prefer more gradual effects.
How do I know teeth whitening is for me?
If you’re bothered by tooth discoloration, consult the dentists at Healing Dentistry. They can determine if professional teeth whitening is the right way to get a brighter smile. Yellowish stains caused by food, drink, aging, or smoking usually respond best to the Snow whitening system.
If you have gray or brown stains on your teeth caused by medications or injury, they can recommend veneers or crowns to provide a whiter smile. Teeth whitening can be just one step in full mouth rehabilitation.
Why should I consider professional teeth whitening?
While many over-the-counter whitening toothpastes and strips are available, these formulations are messy, inconvenient, and not as effective as the in-office ZOOM whitening process. Sign up for teeth whitening at Healing Dentistry and get results quickly and without hassle.
You get brighter teeth that give you a smile you’re proud to flash in just one visit.
What if I have sensitive teeth?
The dentists adjust the strength of the professional whitening solution if you have sensitive teeth. The staff is careful to protect all soft tissue in your mouth to avoid irritation.
The dentists can also prescribe a special toothpaste before your whitening procedure that helps reduce sensitivity. You’ll follow a specific process to make your experience with whitening comfortable and effective.
