Also known as bleaching, teeth whitening involves changing the color of the natural tooth enamel to enhance the beauty of your smile. The simple non-invasive dental treatment method is one of the most common services provided by dentists today.
The leading aesthetic concern of most patients today is having whiter teeth. Although there are several ways of whitening teeth, at Smiles by Design, we use at home tooth whitening systems. This method is much simpler, reliable and inexpensive. It has already been indicated that teeth whitening can’t work with anything else other than the natural tooth enamel. This means that one should evaluate replacement of any crowns or old fillings. Bleaching should be done first before any restorations are replaced so that they can match the newly bleached teeth.
Why should you whiten your teeth?
- If they are stained due to medications such as tetracycline
- If your teeth have yellow or brown stains
- Normal wear of the outer layer of the teeth
- Excessive fluoridation also known as Fluorosis
