Have you been thinking about whitening your teeth? Whitening services offered by your Milton, PA, dentists, Drs. Dustin and Brooke Snyder of Brookpark Dental provide several important benefits for your smile.
Improved appearance
Dental stains make your teeth look dull and yellow, even if you make oral hygiene a priority. Microscopic pores in your tooth enamel trap pigments from dark and brightly colored foods, dulling your smile. Although coffee, tea, and cola are common sources of stains, staining can also occur if you drink sports drinks or red wine, or eat blueberries, cherries, tomato sauce, candy, ice pops, and other dark or bright foods. Smoking can also stain your teeth.
During your visit to the Milton dental office, your dentist will apply a whitening agent that contains hydrogen peroxide to your teeth. Hydrogen peroxide breaks apart stain-causing pigments in tiny pores, allowing them to be rinsed away.
Fast, safe results
Professional whitening only takes about an hour. Before your whitening session begins, your teeth will be cleaned to remove plaque and tartar. If these substances weren't removed, your teeth wouldn't be uniformly white after whitening.
A protective gel applied to your roots and gums and plastic retractors that hold your cheeks and lips away from your gums prevent irritation or sensitivity during whitening.
A boost to your self-confidence
Your self-esteem and self-confidence can take a hit if your smile is dull. After whitening, you may find that you feel more confident, whether you're getting together with friends or going on a job interview.
Impressive whitening
Over-the-counter whiteners make promises that they can't always keep. If you've ever used a drugstore whitener for weeks or months and been disappointed by the results, professional whiting offers a better option. Professional whiteners contain a stronger formulation of hydrogen peroxide than over-the-counter products and produce quicker, more impressive results. At the end of just one treatment, your teeth will be noticeably whiter. In fact, most people lighten their teeth by three to eight shades.
A cost-effective treatment
Whitening is one of the least expensive dental services, yet offers excellent value for your money. Your results will last several years and can be extended simply by avoiding or limiting the amount of stain-causing foods and beverages you consume.
