What is Teeth Whitening?

We all need additional help to keep our teeth bright. Even with great at-home care, your teeth can become stained or dull over time. Diet, lifestyle, prescription medications, and other contributing factors can impact the look of your teeth. Common causes of staining include eating richly-pigmented foods and drinking dark-colored liquids such as tea, coffee or red wine. Even aging can affect the appearance of your teeth. As the surface of your teeth (called the enamel) grows thinner with age, the material inside your teeth (called the dentin) becomes darker, making your teeth look gray.

Are stained or discolored teeth impacting the brightness of your smile? Teeth whitening treatment at Southern Dental Associates may be the answer you need to look your best. A professional whitening procedure is the most effective way to achieve a brighter, more beautiful smile in just one visit.

How Does Teeth Whitening Work?

Teeth whitening treats the stains on the surface of your enamel using peroxide-based gels. The whitening gel contains bleaching agents that penetrate your enamel and clear away the discoloration.

At-home and over-the-counter whitening kits offer some degree of whitening, but they contain a weaker whitening solution. This often means poor results and repeated treatments. To achieve the best results, our dentist recommends an in-office whitening treatment.

At Southern Dental Associates, our in-house whitening system uses a powerful bleaching agent that can brighten even stubborn stains. We can whiten your teeth by three to five shades in just one simple visit to our Willowbrook office. Compared to other whitening options, your whitening results can last for several years without needing to be touched up.

How Can I Get Whiter Teeth?

A more beautiful smile is within reach! The first step is to schedule a consultation with your friendly, local dental team. Our dentist will discuss your needs to design a plan that works for you. Depending on your treatment goals, our dentist may recommend follow-up treatments as needed to maintain or enhance your smile.
