What is Teeth Whitening?
Before undergoing any teeth whitening procedure, it is highly recommended to consult with a reputable Temecula dentist at Ethos Advanced Dental Care. This step ensures that the whitening treatment is tailored to your specific needs and circumstances. Teeth whitening is a straightforward and safe procedure that utilizes oxygenation to lighten and enhance the appearance of discolored teeth.
The whitening process is particularly effective for addressing discoloration caused by factors such as age-related yellowing, tobacco use, alcohol consumption, coffee or tea stains, certain medications, chemically-induced stains, excessive fluoride, accidents, trauma, and decay.
However, it is important to note that teeth whitening does not produce significant results on existing crowns or porcelain veneers. While moderate success has been achieved in lightening bonding, the effectiveness may vary.
By seeking professional guidance from our knowledgeable dental team, you can receive personalized recommendations and ensure that your teeth whitening procedure yields the best possible outcomes.
Reasons for Teeth Whitening:
- Fluorosis (excessive fluoridation during tooth development)
- Normal wear of outer tooth layer
- Stained teeth due to medications (tetracycline, etc.)
- Yellow, brown stained teeth
Can Whitening Damage Teeth?
Tooth 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. Because having whiter teeth has now become the number one aesthetic concern of most patients, there are a number of ways to whiten teeth. The most popular method is using a home tooth whitening system that will whiten teeth dramatically. Since tooth whitening only works on natural tooth enamel, it is important to evaluate replacement of any old fillings, crowns, etc. Replacement of any restorations will be done after bleaching so they will match the newly bleached teeth.
