Nobody likes to look in the mirror only to see a discolored or lackluster smile in the reflection. Keep in mind, you are not the only person in the world dealing with discoloration or yellowing. In fact, ask anyone and you will find that most patients would instantly jump at the opportunity to attain a whiter smile. While you may know that we offer teeth whitening to brighten your teeth, you may not know what to expect. Remember when you visit us that we are not here to judge you – we are here to care for your smile, so that it feels healthy and looks beautiful. While you wait for your upcoming visit, we encourage you to look over the following Q&A session to find out more about whitening and how it can work for you:
Q&A: Teeth Whitening
Question: Why are my teeth discolored?
Answer: Your teeth become discolored as the result of many possible reasons. First, the natural aging process typically causes your teeth to become a bit darker or yellowed. You eat a variety of foods and beverages over the years that will – over time – cause your smile to dim. You may also indulge in highly pigmented foods like coffee that can more quickly stain your teeth. Or, other products like tobacco may result in staining.
Question: Will my smile look noticeably whiter after treatment?
Answer: Yes, your smile will look exceptionally white in comparison to your initial shade before teeth whitening treatment. You can expect a smile several shades brighter for a more uniform, sparkling smile that may take years off of your appearance.
Question: How can I keep my smile white for a long, long time?
Answer: First, it’s important that you brush and floss your teeth on a daily basis according to our suggestions for best home hygiene practices. Cleaning your teeth removes staining food and beverage particles that lead to discoloration. Additionally, you may wish to limit your intake of super-pigmented foods and drinks like berries, tea, or red wine. We also provide patients with free whitening for life after the first treatment, so you can receive touchups without an additional cost.
