Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is amongst the most popular cosmetic dental procedures, it improves the look of your teeth and the confidence of your smile.

As your teeth age the enamel on your teeth gets thinner and allows stains to make your smile appear darker or more yellow.

Stains may be caused by:

• The natural aging process
• Using tobacco (smoked or chewed)
• Drinking coffee or tea,
• Colas or red wine
• Eating pigmented foods such as cherries and blueberries
• Accumulation of plaque and tartar deposits
• Ingesting too much fluoride (more than 2 parts fluoride per million parts water) when teeth are forming, which gives teeth a "mottled" look
• Treatment with the antibiotic tetracycline during childhood
• Trauma to the teeth that may cause a brown, gray or black color

When visiting our team for your Teeth whitening session your dentist will apply hydrogen peroxide whitening gel to the surface of the teeth and then shine either a whitening lamp of laser on the area. This will help enhance the effectiveness of the gel and strongly improve the results. Our team will also provide mold trays that custom fit your teeth so you can continue your whitening at home.

Being confident with your smile is a priceless gift that helps you look your best self, giving you a more youthful look and leaving a fantastic first impression. A perfect gift to yourself whether it’s for a special event or to simply reverse years of everyday staining and yellowing.
