Teeth Whitening

Teeth become yellowed and discolored with age, especially if you smoke cigarettes and drink coffee and soda. Stains contribute to the fading white finish, but consuming acidic foods and drinks also adds to the problem because these eat away at tooth enamel. Underneath the first layer of enamel is dentin, a darker substance that shows through when enamel begins to wear.

Many patients, in their attempts to achieve teeth whitening as quickly as possible, use drugstore treatments and hope for professional results. While these products are useful and somewhat effective, they’re not custom-fitted to your teeth. You may have a few teeth that end up blindingly white, but some may remain discolored. These uneven results can be disappointing.

While no two patients’ results are identical, when you come for a consultation at Wells W. Wagner Family Dental, we can predict how your teeth will respond to teeth whitening treatment. Teeth whitening works best on teeth that have been stained by food, drink or tobacco rather than trauma or excessive fluoride use.
