If you are unhappy with the color of your teeth, you are not alone. Many people feel self-conscious about their teeth because they are not as white as they would like them to be. Thankfully, there is a solution: teeth whitening. Teeth whitening can lighten your teeth by several shades in a short amount of time, and it is one of the most popular cosmetic dental procedures performed today. If you want to get your bright smile back, this cosmetic treatment may be the answer for you!

Understanding Teeth Stains

Before you can decide if teeth whitening is right for you, it is important to understand what causes teeth stains in the first place. There are three types of tooth stains: extrinsic, intrinsic, and age-related.

Extrinsic

Extrinsic stains are those that appear on the surface of your teeth. They are usually caused by things like food, drink, smoking, or poor oral hygiene. These stains can usually be removed with a good teeth cleaning at the dentist.

Intrinsic

Intrinsic stains are those that occur below the surface of your teeth. They are often caused by things like medications, aging, trauma, or certain medical conditions. Intrinsic stains cannot be removed with a regular teeth cleaning, and they may require more aggressive treatment like teeth whitening.

Age-related

Age-related stains are a type of intrinsic stain that occurs naturally as you age. As you get older, the outer layer of your teeth (the enamel) begins to wear away, revealing the inner layer of your teeth (the dentin). The dentin is yellow in color, so when it is exposed, it can make your teeth look yellow as well.

If you have intrinsic stains on your teeth, teeth whitening may be the best option for you. Teeth whitening can help to remove these deep-set stains and give you a brighter, whiter smile.

How Does Teeth Whitening Work?

Teeth whitening is a safe and effective way to lighten your teeth by several shades. The active ingredient in most teeth whitening products is hydrogen peroxide. When this gel comes into contact with your teeth, it breaks down into oxygen molecules. These oxygen molecules then penetrate your tooth enamel and break up the stains that are deep within your teeth.

This treatment is a quick and easy way to achieve a brighter, whiter smile. Most brightening treatments can be completed in just one visit to the dentist. In-office brightening treatments are the most popular type of treatment because it offers the quickest results. With in-office treatments, you can achieve a brighter, whiter smile in just one visit to the dentist!

Take-home treatment kits are also available. These kits contain custom-fitted mouth trays and a supply of whitening gel. You will use these trays and gel at home to achieve your desired results. Take-home teeth treatments are a great option for people who want to whiten their teeth at their own pace.

Is Teeth Whitening Right for Me?

If you are unhappy with the color of your smile, teeth whitening may be the right choice for you. This treatment is safe and effective, and it can help you achieve a brighter, whiter smile.

If you are considering teeth whitening, the first step is to schedule a consultation with Mountain Aire Dentistry. During your consultation, Dr. Chris Bockrath will evaluate your teeth and discuss your treatment options with you. If you have deep-set intrinsic stains, teeth whitening may be the best option for you.

Is Teeth Whitening Painful?

Having a beautiful smile doesn’t have to be painful, which is why it’s important to know and understand the causes of teeth whitening sensitivity. Most professional and over-the-counter whitening products feature hydrogen peroxide as their active ingredient. Some people may have teeth that are sensitive to peroxide. Your mouth may start to ache during the whitening procedure, and you may feel discomfort when drinking or eating hot or cold products. This potential side effect of the treatment is usually short-term, and goes away with time.
