Teeth whitening is a popular and highly effective way to rejuvenate your smile, brightening your teeth by several shades in a single visit. At Louetta Orthodontics & Family Dentistry, we offer professional teeth whitening treatments designed to safely and effectively reduce the appearance of stains and discoloration. Using a professional-grade whitening gel, our treatments can address staining on your tooth enamel that may have accumulated due to a variety of different factors.
Why Choose Professional Teeth Whitening?
Professional teeth whitening differs significantly from over-the-counter products. While store-bought whitening strips and pastes may offer some improvement, they often cannot penetrate deeply enough to achieve the same level of brightness as professional treatments. Our whitening gel is specially formulated to reach beneath the surface, removing deeper stains for a more consistent and radiant result.
What Causes Tooth Discoloration?
Teeth whitening can address stains caused by various factors, including:
- Aging: Over time, the enamel on our teeth naturally wears down, revealing more of the dentin beneath, which is darker in color. Teeth whitening helps counter this process, restoring a youthful brightness to your smile.
- Diet and Lifestyle: Certain foods and beverages, like coffee, tea, wine, and sodas, are known to contribute to staining. Tobacco use, including smoking, can also deeply stain the enamel.
- Medication and Health Factors: Some medications and medical treatments can discolor teeth, as can specific conditions such as fluorosis, which occurs from excessive fluoride exposure during tooth development.
