Start Off The New Year With A Whiter Smile!

Are you considering teeth whitening treatment but haven't found the right time to do it? Look no further this New Year! As you set new goals for yourself in 2023, why not include a whiter and brighter smile on your list? Teeth whitening is a cosmetic procedure designed to lighten teeth and remove discoloration and stains that have developed over time. The primary target of teeth whitening is the tooth enamel, which is influenced by the natural color of the dentin underneath. The overall color of your smile is determined by the reflection of light off the dentin, as well as the smoothness and thickness of the enamel, which is commonly influenced by genetics.

There are several reasons why your smile may have lost its luster, including poor dental care, natural aging, smoking or tobacco stains, dark-colored liquids such as coffee, tea, soda, and wine, dental trauma, and certain medications. If any of these apply to you, we can help you find the solution to give you a whiter smile. The teeth whitening process is straightforward, and there are three common options: stain removal toothpastes, at-home teeth whitening kits, and in-office teeth whitening procedures.

Before undergoing teeth whitening, there are several factors to consider, such as whether you have sensitive teeth, white spots, tooth decay, infected gums, dental work, previous tooth injuries, or are taking medications. We invite you to speak to our team to determine if teeth whitening is a viable option for you, and we will work with you to find the best solution for your needs.

Maintaining optimal dental hygiene is a fundamental and uncomplicated approach to preserve the brightness and whiteness of your smile. This entails brushing your teeth at least twice daily, flossing once a day, and scheduling periodic dental check-ups. It's also important to consume healthy, non-staining foods and drinks as much as possible.
