Bright smiles are the best smiles. White teeth are the best way to show that you are a happy and healthy person. Unfortunately, the teeth can become darkened and yellowed due to stains that come from highly pigmented foods and drinks, as well as bad habits like smoking. Teeth whitening is the best way to return the smile back to beautiful and white.
Our teeth whitening dentist in LA will approve this treatment for you if your teeth are otherwise healthy. The whole process will likely take less than an hour, and involve a liquid or gel being activated by a light or laser. Some patients report some sensitivity afterwards. This is because the whitening material is abrasive, in order to remove the stains. Unfortunately, it also removes some dental enamel.
For this reason, it is not recommended patient’s do teeth whitening too often. Two treatments too close together can cause irreparable damage. It can make tooth sensitivity a serious issue, and may not even make much of a difference in brightening the smile.
If you are noticing stains that are not going away no matter what type of whitening treatment you try and how often, it may be intrinsic. Intrinsic stains can be better addressed with a dental crown or veneers.
