Is Discoloration Of Your Teeth Normal?
Our pearly whites can become stained overtime due to various factors. Foods, beverages, genetics, and aging are all causes of tooth discoloration. While this can happen naturally overtime, it can still be frustrating when you want to have a vibrant and confident smile. If you have a special event coming up soon or simply want to improve your self-esteem, a professional whitening treatment may be able to help.
Your Options For Whitening Treatments
We offer two treatments to remove stains from your enamel. If you prefer to complete your treatment on your on time, our personalized take-home treatment may be ideal for your needs. You will apply the bleaching agent at home every day as instructed by your dentist. In about two weeks, you can show off your more vibrant pearly whites. This method is safer than store-bought bleaching products, but just as convenient. We also offer KoR whitening treatments for patients with deeper discoloration. This may be used for patients who have stubborn stains that cannot be dissolved with a standard brightening service. After you have completed your treatment, you can show off your new results and feel more confident. Remember to continue following your oral hygiene routine to reduce discoloration and maintain your oral health. If you have any questions about preventing discoloration, talk to your dentist.
How We Address Stubborn Discoloration
In some cases, your teeth may not react to professional treatment. This could be due to the stains being below the enamel, which means the bleaching agent cannot reach the blemish to break it down. We understand this can be frustrating when you want a more balanced look. Our cosmetic bonding or porcelain veneer options can help conceal these imperfections and help you reach a brighter smile. Bonding involves adding composite resin to the blemished area to disguise the stain. This method is non-invasive and can be completed in just a single appointment. Veneers can makeover your pearly whites by using porcelain shells to cover blemished teeth.
