A beautiful smile leaves a lasting impression. Professional teeth whitening can dramatically improve your overall appearance and give you a boost in self-confidence.
Our teeth often turn yellow or gray as we age. The things we eat and drink continually such as colored sodas, coffee, and red wine exacerbate the staining.
Most individuals are aware that smoking is not only bad for our lungs, but can also discolor our teeth. There are even some medications that can influence tooth color.
If you are considering having your teeth whitened, you must first choose which method to use. At ColemanDental, we enjoy discussing treatment options with our patients. To schedule a consultation to talk
about teeth whitening or any other cosmetic dental procedure, reach out right away.
At-home whitening treatments usually consist of trays filled with whitening solution. It generally takes 7-14 days to achieve 3-6 shades lighter. Brush-on teeth gels and whitening strips take up to 30 days to attain results. Whitening toothpaste may lighten superficial stains but often provides no change in the appearance of teeth.
Professional teeth whitening services performed by a dental professional achieve dramatic results that can last longer than other treatments.
All of the whitening methods may cause tooth pain or sensitivity, but this usually goes away in a few days. If you have crowns, porcelain veneers, or dental bonding, it is vital to speak with your dentist before choosing a whitening method.
