Do you wonder what it will really take to arrive at a whiter smile? Have you been trying to figure out whether teeth whitening is essential for you, if you qualify for something else, if you can just make your smile look better on your own, and more? We suggest you don’t spend another minute running these thoughts over and over in your mind. Instead, simply ask our team, so you can receive the quick, factual information you need.

Questions and Answers

Question: Can I just whiten my teeth by brushing more often or with whitening toothpaste?

Answer: Unfortunately, no. If your teeth are stained, you will not be able to brush stains away, no matter the products you use. This is because your stains are not all resting on the surface of your dental tissue. You need penetrative teeth whitening to remove stains (or a different treatment to camouflage them).

Question: Is teeth whitening the best choice for a whiter smile?

Answer: It depends. You may benefit best from whitening if your smile is suffering from uniformly distributed and minor to moderate discoloration (and if you need whitening for natural tooth tissue). Otherwise, you may need an alternative solution.

Question: What happens if I don’t qualify for teeth whitening?

Answer: We simply suggest an alternative, such as bonding, porcelain veneers, or a combination of appropriate procedures.

Question: Can’t I just use over-the-counter (OTC) treatment?

Answer: Sadly, these products yield poor results and often lead to damage and sensitivity. We recommend you avoid them.
