What is Teeth Whitening?
As a component of dental hygiene, teeth cleaning entails removing tartar and dental plaque from teeth in an effort to stop periodontal disease, gingivitis, and cavities. Getting your teeth cleaned can help you breathe better, stop your gums from bleeding, and reduce your risk of dental decay. Teeth whitening stands as a straightforward and effective cosmetic dental treatment that can significantly improve your smile, often requiring just one session. Our professional treatments involve the application of a potent yet safe whitening gel onto your teeth’s surface. This gel effectively reduces the appearance of stains, discoloration, and yellowing on the enamel. Teeth whitening options are commonly available for both in-office and at-home use. Professional teeth whitening can give you visibly whiter teeth, boosting your self-confidence and allowing you to smile proudly.

Maintaining your Teeth Whitening Results
To extend the longevity of newly whitened teeth, dentists are likely to recommend:
- At-home follow-up or maintenance whitening – implemented immediately or performed as infrequently as once a year.
- Avoid dark-colored foods and beverages for at least a week after whitening.
- Whenever possible, sipping dark-colored beverages with a straw.
- Practicing excellent oral hygiene – brushing and flossing after meals and at bedtime.
What Causes Teeth Staining?
Age: There is a direct correlation between tooth color and age. Over the years, teeth darken as a result of wear and tear and stain accumulation. Teenagers will likely experience immediate, dramatic results from whitening. In the twenties, as the teeth begin to show a yellow cast, whitening may require a little more effort. By the forties, the yellow gives way to brown, and more maintenance may be called for. By the fifties, the teeth had absorbed a host of stubborn stains that could prove difficult (but not impossible) to remove.
Starting color: We are all equipped with an inborn tooth color that ranges from yellow-brownish to greenish-grey, and intensifies over time. Yellow-brown is generally more responsive to bleaching than green-grey.
Translucency and thinness are also genetic traits that become more pronounced with age. While all teeth show some translucency, those that are opaque and thick have an advantage: they appear lighter in color, show more sparkle, and are responsive to bleaching. Teeth that are thinner and more transparent – most notably the front teeth – have less of the pigment that is necessary for bleaching. According to cosmetic dentists, the only issue that no teeth whitening method can fix is transparency.
