Tooth Whitening
Tooth color varies
from person to person and can darken with age. Minerals, tobacco,
antibiotics, foods, and beverages stain and discolor teeth. Results
vary depending on several factors such as teeth stained from smoking
or drinking coffee or tea or with the foods you eat. Bleaching will
not lighten fillings or dental crowns or veneers. Whitening is also
discouraged if you have severely sensitive teeth, decay, periodontal
disease, worn enamel, or if you're pregnant or breast-feeding.

you can use them right away. Strips are portable enough to be used
anywhere; at home or on the road, at any time during the day.

controlled dose each time.
TV and
Drug Store Tooth Whiteners
Many retail tooth whiteners use
ineffective "one-size-fits-all" bleaching trays or strips.
Others only cover a few teeth or require frequent touch-ups. These
products do not achieve the same proven lasting results as
professional treatment.
Keeping Your Whiter Smile
Your
unique combination of good habits, foods, and tooth structure will
influence long-term results. Non-smokers who drink no coffee or tea
usually have little change in five years. Some patients need a slight
"touch-up" treatment after several years.
