Not every stain responds the same way
Coffee and tea discoloration, age-related changes, and discoloration inside a tooth can have different causes. A quick conversation about what bothers you helps determine whether whitening is likely to make the difference you want.
Professional options, with realistic expectations
Our practice has offered Opalescence and Philips Zoom whitening treatments. The option available and appropriate for you should be confirmed with the office. Results vary with tooth shade, habits, and the type of staining.
A few details make a big difference
Whitening does not change the color of existing crowns, veneers, or fillings. Sensitivity can also occur. If you have front-tooth restorations or sensitive teeth, mention that before beginning treatment.
GOOD QUESTIONS
A few things you may be wondering
Will whitening affect my crowns?
Whitening agents do not lighten existing porcelain or composite restorations. Shade matching may need separate consideration.
How long do results last?
It varies by diet, oral hygiene, and individual factors. Touch-up recommendations should be personalized.
