Who Is a Good Candidate for Take-Home Teeth Whitening?
Tooth discoloration can be caused by a wide range of different things. Here are some of the most common reasons staining occurs:
- Aging
- Poor oral hygiene
- Tobacco use
- Pigmented beverages
- Sugary/acidic foods
- Certain medications
- Genetic factors
Some types of discoloration can be prevented with an excellent oral hygiene routine. However, others aren’t in your control. There are two different types of stains: extrinsic and intrinsic. Extrinsic stains occur on the surface of the teeth and are usually caused by food, beverages, and tobacco products. Intrinsic stains are the result of medicines, so you should discuss this with your doctor if it is something that you are unhappy with. Another cosmetic option, like veneers, may be more suitable to correct this.
How Does Take-Home Teeth Whitening Work?
The great thing about take-home teeth whitening is that you can complete it on your own time, in the comfort of your own home. We will provide you with a kit that contains custom-made trays and a teeth whitening solution. You will need to wear the trays for a certain amount of time each day. Professional teeth whitening kits from a dentist are much stronger than anything you can find over the counter. In just a couple of weeks, you will see dramatic results.
