Causes of Tooth Discoloration
Teeth can lose their luster and become stained due to a variety of factors, including:
- Consumption of Staining Substances: Drinks like coffee, tea and red wine, as well as certain foods, can contribute to tooth discoloration.
- Tobacco Use: Smoking or using smokeless tobacco can cause teeth to become yellow or brown over time.
- Poor Oral Hygiene: Not brushing and flossing regularly can lead to the buildup of plaque and tartar, resulting in stains.
- Medications: Certain medications can have side effects that affect the color of your teeth.
- Aging: As you age, the outer layer of enamel on your teeth naturally wears away, revealing the yellower dentin underneath.
What to Expect
When you come to us for teeth whitening, you can expect a thorough and efficient process. Our orthodontist will first assess your oral health and discuss your aesthetic goals to ensure that teeth whitening is a suitable option for you. The actual whitening process involves applying a professional-strength bleaching agent to the teeth, which is then activated using a special light. The entire procedure typically takes about an hour, and you will be able to notice results immediately.
