Why do teeth become stained or discolored?
Teeth become stained or discolored due to a variety of factors, both external and internal. Common causes include consuming stain-causing foods and beverages like coffee, tea, red wine, and dark-colored sauces. Smoking or using tobacco products is another major contributor to surface stains. Poor oral hygiene, such as inadequate brushing and flossing, can also allow stains to build up over time.
Additionally, aging naturally leads to tooth discoloration as the enamel wears down, revealing the yellowish dentin beneath. Certain medications, medical treatments, and excessive fluoride exposure can cause intrinsic discoloration, affecting the tooth's inner structure. Understanding the causes of tooth discoloration can help you make informed choices and maintain a brighter, healthier smile.
Depending on your teeth and situation, you may choose in-house whitening, take-home whitening, or both. Whichever option you select, Union Smiles will use teeth whitening products approved by the American Dental Association to guarantee your safety.
How does teeth whitening work?
To safely whiten teeth, professional teeth whitening uses a specially formulated bleaching gel, typically containing hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide. The gel is applied directly to the surface of your teeth, helping to remove stains and discoloration, resulting in a noticeably brighter, whiter smile without causing any harm to your teeth.
The professional whitening procedure at our dental office typically takes between one to three hours, depending on the whitening method chosen and the severity of the stains. For those seeking convenience, we also offer at-home whitening treatments. Patients using at-home kits often see noticeable results within three to four days, with the outcome taking approximately two weeks.
Union Smiles offers both in-office and take-home whitening options to fit your needs and lifestyle. Our dentists will assess your unique dental condition and recommend the best whitening treatment. Contact us today to schedule your consultation and achieve the radiant smile you deserve!
