It is a fact of life that, as you age, your teeth will start to look dull and discolored. As the years go by, the underlying dentin in a tooth naturally yellows while the enamel covering your teeth gets thinner, allowing the dentin to show through. Your dental enamel also becomes more porous, which also attracts stains and food particles.
However, most severe dental staining is a result of poor oral hygiene, tobacco use, or the deeply colored foods you consume, like coffee, tea, red wine, and dark berries. You don’t necessarily have to eliminate these foods from your diet, but knowing which foods to avoid or cut back on will keep your bright smile whiter longer.
If stained teeth are making you feel self-conscious when you smile, we offer solutions to fit your needs. You can choose an in-office whitening treatment if you would like to see immediate results.
We also offer convenient take-home whitening kits that take a little longer but still do a very effective job. You can spend a lot of time and money on store-bought whiteners, but they can’t offer the same dramatic results that you will get with professional whitening treatments.
Please call Alpharetta Creek Restorative Dentistry if you would like to learn more about our convenient, effective teeth whitening treatment options.
Should I whiten my teeth before I have any dental work?
If you have restorative dental work like fillings, crowns, or bridges planned, we recommend having your teeth whitened professionally before we begin the work. That way, we can ensure that your new restoration matches the shade of your newly whitened teeth.
Take the first step and call us to schedule a teeth cleaning appointment at our Alpharetta, GA office. Dr. Kai Liang will evaluate your needs and be sure that any new dental work blends seamlessly with your bright new smile.
