Everyone wants a gleaming white smile that dazzles everyone they encounter. Unfortunately, over time, teeth can become discolored. There’s good news, though: Professional, safe, effective teeth whitening can restore your naturally beautiful smile.
Even if you’re super careful with keeping your teeth sparkling clean, age will cause your teeth to become yellow over time. In fact, yellowing is the most common discoloration seen in teeth. However, other things also cause discoloration in teeth, including:Â
Products bought over-the-counter at pharmacies and big box stores are less effective than professional teeth whitening. Store Bought products are a one-size-fits-all solution, which isn’t realistic because everyone’s teeth differ. Equally important, these products are only safe for some.Â
For the whitest teeth, visit your dentist for prescription-strength gels and customized trays. Only dentists have access to powerful gels that will give you a sparkling smile. It’s also important to note that before they whiten your teeth, a dentist will inspect your teeth, mouth, and gums to ensure they’re in solid condition. At this time, they will also inspect your teeth and mouth for issues such as cavities, gum disease, and oral cancer.Â
Most people experience very little or no discomfort when their teeth are being professionally whitened. Some patients report temporary gum irritation or teeth sensitivity. These side effects go away shortly after your dentist finishes whitening your teeth.Â
The results from professional teeth whitening will typically last for a few months, but some people report having a bright white smile for up to a year.
Taking good care of your oral health will help your teeth stay whiter for longer. This means brushing twice a day and flossing at night.Â
Dr. Tiffany Fritz uses the KöR whitening system to help her patients achieve stunning results. With this method, you can enjoy a whiter smile without peroxide, and stains are removed beneath the enamel. Best of all, the KöR whitening system is designed to match the starting shade of your teeth, so your results will always look natural.Â
When you have your teeth whitened in the office, it takes between an hour and 90 minutes. When you whiten your teeth using at-home trays, you will begin to see results in a few weeks.
