Teeth Whitening

Even with the best at-home oral hygiene habits, it’s common for teeth to become discolored over time. Discoloration can occur for a variety of reasons, including:

• Consuming stain-causing foods, such as coffee or red wine
• Age
• Genetics
• Tobacco use

Fortunately, reversing the signs of discolored teeth is possible. The best candidate for professional teeth whitening is someone who has dull, stained, or yellow teeth, but who otherwise has healthy teeth and gums. It’s important to note that teeth whitening will be ineffective on teeth that are discolored due to an injury.

While at-home teeth whitening treatments have become more available than ever before, whitening your teeth at the dentist offers many benefits over these options. These include:

• Safety: Your dental whitening treatment will be monitored by a knowledgeable dental team
• Professional-Strength Materials: You’ll have access to strong whitening products
• Effective: You’ll immediately see a visible difference in the appearance of your teeth

At Restoration Dental, our trusted dental team is committed to making your teeth whitening experience as convenient and comfortable as possible. Here’s what you can expect during your professional dental whitening treatment:

• First, the dentist will protect your gums from the whitening products with a special gel.
• Next, he will carefully paint the whitening product on the surface of your teeth.
• He will use an LED blue light to help the whitening bleach lift the stains from your teeth.
• This process will be repeated several times, if necessary until the desired whitening results have been achieved.

Once your teeth have been professionally whitened, it’s important to take good care of them in order to preserve your beautiful, white smile for as long as possible. The best way to keep your smile radiant is to:

• Brush and floss your teeth daily
• Limit your consumption of stain-causing foods
• Visit the dentist twice a year for check-ups and clean
