Stains on the teeth are inevitable. There are many reasons why our teeth become discolored, the most common reasons include aging, injuries, or as a result of consuming certain food and drinks. Berries, tomato sauce, coffee, tea and smoking – all these and more can cause stains to build up over time.
Most of us will experience teeth discoloration at some point, but the good news is, there are cost-effective options to brighten our smile. A lot of our patients have achieved radiant, more lustrous smiles with professional teeth whitening.
If you prefer to whiten your teeth in the comfort of your own home, we offer take home whitening kits that will gradually brighten the shade of your teeth over 2 or 4 weeks. Unlike over-the-counter options, our home whitening kits include whitening gels that are proven to be safe and effective, custom-made trays that fit the natural contours of your teeth, and of course, instructions from your dentist or hygienist.
At the Dental Studio, we provide Opalescence and Zoom take-home teeth whitening systems. Give us a call today to find out which option works best for you.
As with all types of whitening, a dental consultation is needed before you start your home treatment. Your dentist will determine the health of your teeth and will correctly diagnose the cause of your teeth’s discoloration.
For best results, it’s recommended that you get your scale and polish done prior to your treatment. Your dentist will recommend the home whitening kit that will work best for you and will give you detailed instructions on the application of the gel as well as the frequency and duration of your treatment.
