What causes tooth discoloration?

There are several reasons. The most common are aging and consumption of coloring substances such as coffee, tea, cola, tobacco, red wine, etc.
During tooth formation, if tetracycline is used, some antibiotics or excessive fluoridation can cause tooth discoloration.

Who can benefit from teeth whitening?

Almost everyone. However, treatment may not be as effective for some as compared to others. Your dentist can decide if you are a good candidate through an oral examination and the assignment of tooth shading.

Is teeth whitening safe?

Teeth whitening is a safe, comfortable way to get a bright, white smile. Results and treatment time may vary depending on the level of staining and whiteness desired. Crowns, bridges, fillings, and veneers will not whiten. Those with gum disease, worn enamel, cavities, and exposed roots may not be good candidates for whitening their teeth. We recommend visiting your dentist for a pre-whitening consultation so that they can help you choose the professional option that best fits your needs.

How long do teeth whitening results last?

Teeth whitening results are very stable, leaving you with a stunning smile long after your teeth whitening treatment is over. However, there are a few factors that can make teeth lose their luster. Things like genetics, diet, age, some medications (like tetracycline), and certain habits (like smoking) may affect the length of your whitening results. Fortunately, touch-up treatments are quick and easy, helping you get that bright, white smile back.

How does Opalescence teeth whitening work?

Opalescence whitening gels contain a powerful whitening ingredient—either carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide. Peroxide gels break down into water, oxygen, and reactive oxygen molecules. These reactive oxygen molecules oxidize the bonds of discolored stain molecules. By changing the stained molecules, the tooth appearance becomes lighter.

During the procedure, patients can comfortably watch TV or listen to music. People with stress due to gag reflex or anxiety may have difficulty going through the entire procedure.
