Teeth Whitening in Maple
If your teeth have lost their pearly white, healthy appearance you are not alone. Aging, diet, injuries and many other factors cause teeth to dull and yellow. Teeth whitening has become a popular dental procedure offered at our office. Whitening is a process that restores stained or discoloured teeth to a healthy, natural colour, and is very safe under the supervision of a dental professional.
The results from whitening can last for as long as a year and with touch-up treatments (at home) every few months results can last even longer. "Touch-ups" are especially useful for patients that drink beverages that are prone to stain teeth, such as coffee, tea and red wine.
Some patients may experience heightened tooth sensitivity or mild tooth or gum sensitivity during treatment, but these symptoms are only temporary and disappear within a few days after the treatment is finished.
Reason for Tooth Discolouration include:
- drinking coffee, tea, wine or soft drinks stains teeth
- Root Canal Therapy
- natural aging – The dentin underneath the enamel of a tooth darkens
- Accidents – a dead nerve will darken a tooth
- Smoking or any tobacco use stains teeth
Feel free to ask our Maple dentists about professional tooth whitening as well as over the counter agents. You can compare treatments and determine which solution will be most effective for you. |
