Are there different types of teeth whitening treatments available?

Do you want to feel confident when you smile? Professional teeth whitening isn't just about erasing stains; it's about revealing your smile’s hidden potential. Peel away the layers of self-doubt and dazzle the world with your whiter, brighter smile.

Let’s jump in and learn more about the different types of teeth whitening treatments available.

What Teeth Whitening Treatments Are Available?

You’ve probably seen the over-the-counter teeth whitening kits, but we don’t recommend using them. The whitening gel in these kits isn’t as strong as our prescription-strength gel, and you could damage your teeth and gums if you leave the gel on for too long or don’t apply it correctly.

Our dental team recommends professional teeth whitening; here’s how it works:

  1. First, we will perform a thorough dental exam to see if teeth whitening is a good option.
  2. Then, we will create custom whitening trays for you. They will fit snugly over your teeth and properly distribute the whitening gel.
  3. Although your results will last a long time, you can use your whitening trays for touch-ups whenever necessary.

What Causes Tooth Discoloration?

You may be wondering why your teeth appear dull or discolored. Here are some of the biggest culprits:

  • Coffee, tea, or wine
  • Poor dental hygiene
  • Medication
  • Smoking
  • Genetics
  • Age
  • Illness
