Teeth Whitening in Topeka Dentistry

Everyone wants bright and dazzling teeth, and no one wants to be remembered for their pearly yellows. When you have stained or yellow teeth, it can be challenging to feel confident or empowered by your smile. Luckily, professional teeth whitening can remove tough stains and whiten dark or yellow teeth. 

What Causes Tooth Discoloration and Stains?

Tooth discoloration and stains can occur for many reasons:

  • Particles from food and beverages can stick to the teeth, wear away the enamel, or stain the enamel, making them look dull or discolored. 
  • The nicotine in tobacco products can penetrate the porous enamel, causing tough, dark stains. 
  • Poor dental hygiene can result in tooth discoloration because plaque and stains aren’t removed through brushing, flossing, and professional teeth cleanings. 
  • As we age, our enamel wears down and becomes thinner, revealing the yellowish dentin below. 
  • Some medications can even affect the shade of our teeth, such as antihistamines or antibiotics. 

Professional Teeth Whitening Can Transform Your Smile

Sometimes, we need a little extra help to lift coffee or wine stains and reduce unsightly tooth discoloration. That’s where professional teeth whitening comes in. At Topeka Dentistry, we offer in-office and take-home professional teeth whitening to combat deep and surface stains.

In-Office Teeth Whitening 

Drs. Carrie Peterson and Ben Rutherford use state-of-the-art whitening solutions to gently clear away stains and brighten dull and discolored teeth. 

  1. Your cosmetic dentist takes a record of the current shade of your teeth. 
  2. Our team removes plaque and polishes your teeth before we start the whitening process. 
  3. We use comfortable barriers to protect your gums and lips from the whitening solution. 
  4. We coat your teeth with a professional-grade whitening solution until we reach your optimum shade. 
  5. Finally, we rinse and polish your teeth, so you can immediately enjoy your new smile. 

Take-Home Teeth Whitening 

If you would like to whiten your teeth in the comfort of your own home, we fabricate custom whitening trays that securely fit your teeth. Our custom trays help protect your mouth’s soft tissues while the whitening solution distributes evenly over your teeth.
