What Is Teeth Whitening?
Teeth whitening is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure designed to lighten the color of your teeth, removing stains and discoloration. This process can significantly enhance your smile’s appearance, giving it a fresher, polished look.
What Causes Tooth Discoloration?
Many factors contribute to dull or stained teeth, including:
- Diet: Coffee, tea, red wine, and certain foods can stain teeth over time.
- Tobacco Use: Smoking or chewing tobacco often leads to yellowing stains.
- Aging: Over the years, enamel naturally thins, exposing the darker dentin beneath.
- Medications: Certain antibiotics and medications can cause tooth discoloration as a side effect.
Types of Teeth Whitening
When it comes to whitening your teeth, you generally have two main options:
- In-Office Whitening: This method, performed by dental professionals, uses powerful whitening agents for dramatic results in a single session.
- At-Home Whitening Kits: These kits are designed for convenience but often contain lower-concentration whitening products, yielding slower and less consistent results than professional care.
Parkway Smile Center’s in-office teeth whitening service is tailored to deliver safe, effective, and consistent results.
