Advanced dental techniques now provide consumers with exciting, new
options for enhancing their smiles. Revolutionary methods are now
available for bleaching teeth to make smiles sparkle!
Teeth
bleaching or whitening lightens the color of teeth whether darkened from
age, coffee, tea or tobacco. Its brightening effects can last up to five
years after the treatment depending on your personal habits, such as
smoking or drinking coffee or tea.
Bleaching has a higher than 90% success
rate. It is tough on stains but gentle on your teeth! Results
vary depending on several factors such as teeth stained from smoking;
from taking certain medications such as tetracycline during tooth
development; or from fluorosis, a condition occurring in the presence of
too much fluoride.
Bleaching will not lighten fillings or
artificial materials used in dental repair as for crowns, porcelain
veneers, etc. Your dentist may discourage treatment if you have
sensitive teeth, periodontal disease, teeth with worn enamel or if
you're pregnant or breast-feeding.
