Teeth Whitening Smyrna GA

The darker tissue of your teeth, the dentin, can become exposed as the outer layer of enamel is worn away by the effects of aging or things like caffeine and tobacco.

Teeth Whitening Treatment for Stains

Food particles are naturally attracted to a tooth’s enamel by a certain protein. Products like coffee and tea, berries and soy sauce are notorious for staining teeth.

 

Over time, teeth actually become more absorbent and vulnerable to staining from food and other substances. This is the stage where teeth whitening treatment from our Smyrna, GA office may be suitable for you.

Whitening Due To Stained Teeth

One type of stain, caused by traumatic injuries, medications and fluorosis, actually begins inside the tooth; brushing and flossing don’t help in this situation. Another type of stain, one that can be more easily attacked by brushing, flossing and rinsing, is caused by external factors such as foods.

 

More and more people today are choosing tooth whitening procedures to reverse the effects of aging and abuse from food and tobacco stains.

 

Some commercially available “whitening toothpastes” can be somewhat effective at removing stains and making teeth a few shades brighter. However, many of these teeth whitening products have abrasive substances that can actually wear away your tooth’s enamel. Therefore, its wise to contact your dentist for more tooth whitening information.

Teeth Whitening Agents

Whitening agents actually change the color of your teeth, but only are effective on certain types of stains. For example, bleaching agents have a difficult time removing brownish or grayish stains. These products also are not as effective on pitted or badly discolored teeth, or on restorations such as crowns, bridges, bonding and tooth-colored fillings (porcelain veneers or dental bonding may be more appropriate in this case).

 

Professional whitening performed by our dental office in Smyrna, GA is considered to be the most effective and safest method; done properly, teeth whitening can last as long as five years. Over-the-counter whitening systems are somewhat effective as long as they are monitored and directions followed closely.
