Teeth Whitening

Over time, teeth can become stained or discolored. A variety of sources can cause these changes in your teeth: coffee; red wine; soda; tea; certain foods; tobacco; or even some medications.

Often times, people think they can "fix" their stained teeth themselves. Some people will brush their teeth more vigorously, not realizing that this actually can remove enamel from your teeth and cause more discoloration and other serious dental problems. Others use over-the-counter whitening kits.

The best way, though, to get a long lasting, bright, white smile is to have your teeth professionally whitened by a cosmetic dentist.

Professional teeth whitening can get your teeth up to 6-8 shades whiter. Furthermore, it is stronger and more effective than an over-the-counter whitening product.
