Who Is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?

As we mentioned before, there are plenty of ways that teeth can collect stains. Two major categories separate them: intrinsic and extrinsic. Extrinsic stains are like food or tobacco stains, those that sit on the exterior of the tooth and settle into the enamel. Intrinsic stains come from within the tooth or are structural features of it. Tooth discoloration caused by aging is a good example.

Teeth whitening is better at dealing with extrinsic stains than intrinsic ones but can brighten your smile in both cases. That makes it an excellent choice for just about anyone interested in improving their appearance.

How Does Teeth Whitening Work?

At the dental office of Dr. John White, we are pleased to offer Ultradent Opalescence take-home whitening kits. We’ll provide custom-made trays and high-grade bleaching gel, which is applied to the teeth once the trays are in place. This gel can lift stains from the enamel, and once it’s removed, you’ll have a smile that is up to eight shades whiter in just two weeks.

Take-Home Teeth Whitening

In about 2 weeks, you should be able to get an even, beautifully white smile from the comfort of your home.

Tips for Maintaining Your Brighter Smile

Once you’ve spent the money, it’s worth protecting your investment. Luckily, there’s plenty to do if you want to preserve your white smile. For one, you may want to avoid foods and beverages that stain the teeth.

Keep up with solid oral hygiene and eat foods that are rich in calcium to keep your teeth shining as long as possible.
