Whiter Teeth in One Visit!

Summer brings sunshine, beach days, photos, and memories. If you’re feeling self-conscious about your smile, especially when it comes to pictures, now’s the time to consider a smile makeover!

You can easily add sparkle to your smile — and boost your self-confidence too — with teeth whitening at a cosmetic dentist near you. It’s an easy and comfortable process and more effective and longer-lasting than over-the-counter whitening products.

If you have worrisome stains or discoloration on your teeth, here’s how we can you can get a dazzling summertime smile!

First, it’s important to understand why teeth become discolored in the first place. Age, genetics, and lifestyle factors can all contribute to discoloration. Smoking, beverages like coffee or tea, and certain medications can all contribute.

Professional teeth whitening is one service provided by cosmetic dentists, who can also suggest lifestyle changes to keep those pearly teeth whiter, and for longer.

What About DIY Teeth Whitening?

Over-the-counter products may seem like a good idea, but these quick-fix solutions can be harmful. Many of these treatments contain higher levels of bleaching elements than professional products, making them more likely to damage your enamel or cause gum sensitivity. Plus, results can vary and may lead to uneven whitening.
