Whitening (Bleaching)
The color of your teeth can affect the confidence you have about your smile. Although it is not permanent, tooth whitening is a simple dental treatment used to change the color of your teeth. However, every patient is different. Some people might have a simple stain on their teeth and can be removed with a cleaning. Some people might have naturally colored teeth but might want their teeth to be as white as snow. Some people might have really sensitive gums, whereas whitening will only irritate their gums even more. In any case, to get the best results when whitening is to have your teeth cleaned before you start your whitening treatments.
Some needs for tooth whitening may include:
- Fluorosis
- Normal ware of outer-tooth layer
- Improve appearance
Touch-ups may be needed every several years when receiving whitening treatment. They may be needed more often if you smoke, drink coffee, tea or wine. Whitening is non-evasive and ideal when enhancing the beauty of your smile.
