December 29, 2020

A bright and white smile is a symbol of health and beauty. A smile that is discolored and stained can give off the impression that you do not properly care for your teeth. The reality is that everyone is a risk for tooth discoloration. Some discoloration is a result of surface staining while other discoloration goes deeper than the surface. If you have discolored teeth then you may be looking into options for getting a whiter smile. In-office teeth whitening is something worth considering. However, in-office whitening is not always the best fit.

Surface discoloration

Surface discoloration happens in the course of everyday life. The things you eat and drink can leave stains on the surface of your teeth. Brushing regularly can help minimize those stains but it is difficult to avoid them altogether with brushing alone. Most people face a smile that is not as white as they would like at some point. If the discoloration is due to surface stains then in-office whitening is a great option. The process can whiten teeth with surface stains by ten shades in as little as an hour.

Deep discoloration

Deep discoloration to your teeth is a very different thing than surface stains. Deep discoloration – stains that go below the surface – happen for a variety of reasons. Some people develop deep stains on their teeth from medication, injury, or habits like smoking. In-office teeth whitening will not be able to impact the stains on your teeth that go below the surface. The only way to deal with this type of discoloration is by covering up the problem. The best options for getting a white smile when you have permanently discolored teeth is to get porcelain veneers or crowns.

Goals for teeth whitening process

In-office teeth whitening can be a great option if you are looking to whiten your teeth. In is not the right option in every situation so you should schedule a time to have your teeth evaluated by your dentist. Once you and your dentist determine the cause of the discoloration, you can schedule in-office teeth whitening or the cosmetic procedure that will give you the smile you want.
