White Teeth Look Sensational!

How would you feel if your smile was a bit brighter than it is right now? White teeth not only look sensational, they build the kind of inner confidence that really gives a smile its electricity. You might be surprised what simple, affordable teeth whitening systems are available these days.

You may have seen TV advertising for whitening toothpastes that can whiten your teeth. The results can't match what a dentist can do for you. Professional tooth bleaching products used by your dentist effectively lighten brown and yellow enamel discoloration caused by smoking, cola, coffee or tea, and sometimes by childhood antibiotics use. A special tooth whitening gel is placed inside a custom-made tray that covers your teeth. The process takes place under a dentist's supervision to insure that it's safe for your teeth and gums.

The best candidates for professional teeth whitening are people with otherwise healthy teeth, minimal enamel loss, and stains that are on the surface of their teeth (from coffee, for instance) rather than inside.

Typically, improvement is seen in the first few days but maximum results occur when the process is continued for 10 to 14 days. Some patients may choose to return for periodic touch-ups to maintain their white teeth and pretty smile.

If the color of your teeth concerns you, professional tooth bleaching may be the answer. Call your dentist, or use our free "Find a Tooth Whitening Dentist..." search to find a dentist and schedule a personal consultation.
