In-office teeth whitening at Impressions Dental

A whiter smile is one just one dentist visit away! Teeth can change color in several ways, including staining from foods, smoking, coffee, teas and colas. In some cases injury can result in color changes. Some antibiotic treatments at critical ages can also cause staining. There are many products and techniques available for patients who want to achieve a whiter smile, and with so many options available, it can be difficult to choose the method that is right for you. The best way to begin any teeth whitening regimen is to schedule an appointment, and talk to Dr. Annette Warren about the differences.

Finding the Best Treatment for You

Schedule a visit with Dr. Warren to learn whether whitening procedures would be effective for you. Whiteners do not correct all types of discoloration. For example, yellowish teeth will probably bleach well, brownish teeth may bleach less well and grayish teeth may not bleach well at all. Likewise, whitening may not enhance your smile if you have had tooth-colored fillings or crowns. The whitener will not affect the color of these materials and they will stand out in your newly whitened smile. In these cases, you do have other options such as porcelain veneers.
