Who Is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening? 

There are a variety of ways that teeth can become discolored. Here are some of the most common reasons:

• Pigmented foods & beverages
• Tobacco products
• Sugary & acidic foods
• Aging
• Poor oral hygiene
• Genetics
• Certain medications

Some causes of discoloration can be prevented, but others may be completely out of your control. There are two main types of discoloration: Extrinsic and intrinsic. Extrinsic stains occur on the surface of the teeth and are typically caused by foods, beverages, and tobacco products. Intrinsic stains are a result of medications, so this is something you should discuss with your doctor.

How Does Teeth Whitening Work?

Professional teeth whitening is customized to meet a patient’s unique needs and desires, so it is more effective than over-the-counter alternatives. We offer In-Office and Take-Home Zoom! teeth whitening. Here is what each one entails:

Take-Home Teeth Whitening

If you want to lift discoloration from the comfort of your own home, a take-home whitening kit is available. First, we will check your smile for existing oral health issues. When it’s determined that your smile is in good health, you will be provided with whitening trays to wear for a certain amount of time each day. You’ll see results in just a couple of weeks!

In-Office Teeth Whitening 

For patients who are looking for faster results, in-office teeth whitening can be completed.
