Why Do I Need Teeth Whitening?

The colour of your teeth naturally changes from white to a stained brown over time and with exposure to various substances such as tobacco, coffee, certain fruits and vegetables, and medications. A stained smile can reduce self-confidence for a lot of people. Teeth whitening provides a solution to boost your self-confidence and enchance your appearance without breaking the bank!

What is Teeth Whitening?

Teeth whitening falls under the category of cosmetic dentistry. The tooth whitening process eliminates discoloration and stains on the teeth, and can also brighten the natural pigmentation of the teeth. The degree of improvement will depend upon how severely the teeth are stained or discolored as well as the nature of the stains. When teeth are brown or yellow due to coffee, tea, or smoking, stains will generally lighten four to five shades. Teeth that are gray due to natural pigmentation or antibiotics use will lighten two to three shades. Regardless, your teeth will be noticeably brighter after teeth whitening.

While there are a number of over-the-counter teeth whitening methods that make various claims, only your family dentist in Mississauga can recommend the most effective teeth whitening treatment for you. Many people are tempted to use teeth whitening kits that they can get over-the-counter at local stores, but these are often weaker than in-office teeth whitening treatments (meaning you will need to use more treatments) and are more likely to lead to sensitivity in the teeth after use. Furthermore, the guards used to apply the whitening paste are not custom-made to your mouth, so using them is not as comfortable. Overall, it is often more cost-efficient to get teeth whitening done at our Mississauga dental clinic than through over-the-counter kits.
