Teeth Whitening

How do Teeth Get Stained?

Our teeth become stained over time, thanks to a gradual wearing-down of the tooth’s enamel. Enamel is designed to protect teeth from the effects of chewing, trauma, and acid attacks caused by sugar. Coffee, tea, and red wine contribute to tooth discoloration.  Enamel is a porous surface and over time stains will inevitably accumulate. This eventually results in our teeth developing a dull, lackluster appearance. Most people experience this at one point or another in their lives! Fortunately, the solution is teeth whitening with Dr. Whitney, your local Sand Springs Dentist.

How Can You Whiten Your Teeth?

If you want to whiten your teeth, you have a few options. Dr. Whitney offers custom-made bleaching trays for use at home.  While at home, simply use the professional-strength teeth whitening gel and apply as directed. Home whitening kits offer fantastic results, often after one application but it is recommended that you continue to use the system for 10 to 14 days to attain your whitest smile. You can also undergo tooth whitening services in your dental office.

Teeth whitening (or bleaching) is a simple, non-invasive dental treatment used to change the color of natural tooth enamel and is an ideal way to enhance the beauty of your smile.
