Why do teeth change color?

Teeth change color naturally as you age. However, there are a variety of factors that might contribute to tooth discoloration, including certain medical conditions and lifestyle and dietary habits. If you consume foods that stain (such as spaghetti sauce or soy sauce) and don’t brush your teeth as well as you should, it can also affect the color of your teeth. 

At Smile Design Advanced Dentistry, the team understands how yellowing teeth may affect your confidence and self-esteem. They offer Zoom! teeth whitening in-office, as well as professional at-home whitening to brighten your smile and help you become more confident in your speech. 

At-home whitening trays results are more gradual than chairside teeth whitening, but both treatments provide impactful results. 

What are the benefits of professional teeth whitening?

Although whitening strips and toothpaste at your local shop can help whiten your teeth, these products usually contain less potent concentrations of whitening solutions. Even if you use them for several weeks, you may notice little difference. 

With professional teeth whitening, the formulations offer more effective results. The team at Smile Design Advanced Dentistry can also protect your mouth’s soft tissues while applying the whitening gel. Or, if you use at-home whitening trays, they can provide you with specific instructions to give you the best outcome. 

How does professional teeth whitening work?

If you want a more dramatic change in your smile, consider in-office whitening at Smile Design Advanced Dentistry with the Zoom! System. Prior to treatment, the team covers the soft tissues in your mouth. Then, they apply the professional strength whitening gel to the surfaces of your teeth and shine an LED light to activate the solution. Following Zoom! teeth whitening, you may have some tooth sensitivity, but it gradually improves with time. 

For at-home teeth whitening, the team provides you with customized whitening trays that break down stains and discoloration. You’ll need to wear the strips for about 30 minutes each day. About 1-2 weeks later, you’ll see a significantly brighter smile.
