Why Teeth Whitening Makes a Difference

Teeth whitening lifts stains and brightens your natural tooth color. It can help your smile look fresher, and professional treatment is planned around your teeth and your goals. Here is how whitening can make a difference for your smile.

Removes Stains From Food, Beverages, and Aging

Coffee, tea, red wine, and the natural thinning of enamel with age can leave teeth looking dull or yellow. Professional whitening is designed to lift these stains and lighten your natural tooth color.

WHITENING BLEACH BREAKS STAINS INTO SMALLER PIECES, THE ADA SAYS

The ADA adds that yellow teeth usually respond well, while brown or gray tones may not, so a dentist’s advice matters.

Achieves Noticeable, Long-Lasting Results

Whitening can lighten teeth by several shades once your treatment is complete. Many people enjoy their brighter smile for a year or more, and a touch-up can refresh it whenever you like.

IN-OFFICE WHITENING CAN KEEP YOUR SMILE BRIGHT FOR ONE TO THREE YEARS

Harvard Health Publishing reports this range for bleaching done in a dentist’s office.

Enhances Your Smile’s Overall Appearance

Whiter teeth are the change people most often say they want for their smile. Because whitening changes color only, your teeth keep their natural shape.
