Stained or yellow teeth can be the result of a variety of factors. Poor oral hygiene is a common cause of yellowing, as is tobacco use. Acidic foods and drinks, such as soda and coffee, can stain teeth. Certain prescription medications can stain teeth as well. Teeth whitening is an easy solution to resolve this problem.
There are three types of teeth whitening procedures. Our dentist in Aurora, CO can decide which type of whitening treatment will work best for you.
In-Office Teeth Whitening
Our dentist applies a bleaching gel to your teeth and then uses a special light to accelerate the whitening process. The gel and light work together to break up stains, remove surface discoloration, and lighten deep-set stains. This whitening solution can lighten teeth by up to eight shades.
At-Home Teeth Whitening
At-home teeth whitening is done using trays. These trays are custom-made to fit your teeth and are worn for a prescribed number of hours each day. They will fit your bite and mouth shape perfectly. Custom trays are made in a lab using high-quality materials and are comfortable to wear, so you don’t have to worry about any irritation.
Laser Teeth Whitening
Laser teeth whitening uses a laser to whiten your teeth. During treatment, the laser will whiten your teeth up to 10 shades in a short time.
The laser produces a narrow beam of high-intensity light. The wavelength and energy output of the laser light reduces the ability of certain compounds to stain teeth, helping to whiten teeth. Laser teeth whitening is safe and effective on teeth with dental restorations.
If you’re self-conscious about the color of your teeth, you may want to consider teeth whitening.
