What Causes Tooth Discoloration?
As we age, our permanent teeth naturally become darker, more yellow, or stained. Besides aging, there are several reasons why teeth discolor over time including:
- The regular consumption of staining foods and drinks
- Certain medications, including antibiotics like tetracycline
- Tobacco use
- Trauma to teeth
- Genetics
Professional vs. Store-Bought Teeth Whitening
There are many over-the-counter teeth whitening products available for purchase; however, these typically don’t live up to the expectations that are set on their packaging. Professional teeth whitening in Pleasanton uses ingredients that are much more effective than whitening toothpastes and at-home whiteners. The increased concentration of whitening agents will speed up the process of whitening and achieve more dramatic results.
The Teeth Whitening Process
When you visit us to have your teeth whitened, Dr. Pruski will examine your teeth and gums to ensure they're healthy for the procedure. Your lips and gums will be protected using cheek retractors and gauze before a light-activated hydrogen peroxide gel is applied to your teeth.
Once the gel is set, a light is used in several cycles so that the gel effectively penetrates the teeth to break up any stains and discolorations. After each cycle, the color is assessed, and if needed, fresh gel is applied for the next cycle. The cycles can vary depending on the level of brightness desired.
Our team also offers take-home teeth whitening that allows you to achieve a brighter smile without having to leave your home. Simply apply the trays and gel as instructed for up to two weeks to achieve the optimal results.
