Cosmetic Dentistry - Teeth Whitening
 
Cosmetic Dentistry - Teeth Whitening

Teeth become discolored for a number of reasons. A few normal reasons for teeth discoloration include staining, aging and chemical damage. Coffee, tea, soda and cigarettes are a few of the leading contributors to discolored teeth. Besides from staining, genetics and disease can also play a role in changing the color of one's teeth. Everyone has different genes, and it is sometimes impossible to determine why someone's teeth are discolored. We do however know that a teeth whitening procedure can always help restore one's teeth back to their original, white color.

Many people want to know how white their teeth are going to get after undergoing a teeth whitening procedure. While this question has a very subjective answer, many procedures can whiten your teeth up to nine shades lighter. Two or three shades can usually make a very significant difference in just about anyone's smile.

Bleaching of the teeth is a chemical process used to lighten the shade of one's teeth. This procedure is usually performed at the dentist's office and sometimes can be done in the comfort of one's home, using the materials provided by their dentist. Before the procedure begins, a


custom tray is sculpted to match the patient's mouth. This ensures a correct amount of whitening solution is used and that it is spread evenly throughout all of the teeth. At home, this procedure can last for two to three hours in which you will have the tray and solution in your mouth. Depending on your desired results, sometimes the tray is required to sit overnight.
