Does Teeth Whitening Work in Brightening Your Smile?
It’s common for teeth to discolor over time, especially if you smoke or drink a lot of coffee, red wine, or tea. Teeth whitening can help lighten unsightly tooth stains and discolorations to restore your smile’s luster. A radiant smile will make a lasting impression on others and make you happy. Ocala, Florida, residents can come to Ocala Smiles for professional teeth whitening treatment. Drs. Robert Evelyn and Wayne Harper answer your questions about teeth whitening here to help you decide if it’s right for you.
What is teeth whitening?
Teeth whitening is a bleaching process to whiten stained tooth enamel and dentin. An in-office teeth whitening treatment can safely make your smile multiple shades whiter without risk to your gums or teeth. Your Ocala, FL dentist will clean your teeth before your whitening treatment to eliminate plaque and tartar that can diminish the effects of your procedure.
What causes my teeth to discolor?
Various factors can lead to stained or discolored teeth. Some of the most common are age, dietary choices, smoking or the use of tobacco products, and poor oral hygiene. Sometimes, excessive fluoride or certain medications can lead to stains on your teeth.
Before and After Actual Patient Results
Is it good or safe to whiten your teeth?
Dental whitening offers a safe and effective means of removing unsightly tooth stains and brightening your grin. In-office treatments can produce amazing results in one dental visit. You can also brighten your smile gradually at home using one of our custom whitening kits. Professional whitening not only yields quality results, but it’s also the safest way to brighten your grin as you work closely with a dental specialist for your treatment.
How long does teeth whitening take?
An in-office whitening procedure may take an hour or so, depending on the state of your teeth. If your teeth are quite stained, your procedure may take longer to achieve optimal results. The results will be more gradual when you use a home whitening kit. Although your smile will look whiter with every whitening session, achieving your optimal whitening goals may take several weeks.
How long do the results of teeth whitening last?
Professional teeth whitening uses high-grade whitening gels that produce noticeable, long-lasting whitening results. However, how long your smile stays bright and beautiful will depend greatly on you and how diligent you are with your teeth whitening aftercare. If you brush and floss daily, watch what you eat and drink, and see your dentist regularly for dental cleanings, teeth whitening results can last one to two years. You can also keep your teeth looking whiter by regularly touching your smile with your home whitening kit.
