Teeth Whitening For a Brighter Smile

Over time, teeth can become less white due to a number of causes, including food and drink, tobacco use, age, trauma and medications. Check out our top products for an easier whitening process. Let us help you achieve your brightest smile!

 

Coffee, tea and red wine can all stain teeth because of intense color pigments called chromogens that attach to the enamel on the tooth’s exterior. Two chemicals found in tobacco — tar and nicotine — also stain. Tar is naturally dark. Nicotine is colorless, but then turns yellowish when mixed with oxygen.

 

Below a tooth’s hard, white outer shell is dentin, which is softer. The enamel gets thinner with brushing and the dentin can show through as you age. A tooth can also change color because it’s been injured and creates a thicker layer of dentin.

 

Teeth can be whitened using products that contain hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide. The bleaches break the stains into smaller pieces, which affects how the color looks.

 

For those who seek whiter teeth, your dentist can explain your options. In-office bleaching requires only one office visit. The dentist uses a protective gel or rubber shield to protect your gums, then applies bleach to the teeth.

 

Over-the-counter bleaching products can be purchased online or in retail stores. They may include strips or toothpastes that bleach teeth. These have a lower concentration of bleach than products the dentist uses.
