Why do our teeth discolor?

Teeth naturally yellow over time as we age, however, there are a few variables that speed up the process. Regular exposure to beverages such as coffee and tea can stain teeth, that’s why frequent check-ups and cleans are so useful for keeping your teeth looking white and fresh. Although cleaning removes surface stains, if you want brighter results, teeth whitening treatment is a fantastic solution.

Home teeth whitening involves a short trip to your dentist, where an impression of your teeth is taken. Your practice will then prepare a take-home whitening kit which contains your custom whitening trays and dentist grade whitening gel. With instruction from your dentist, regular use should result in a noticeable difference in just a few days! Your full result will be achieved in around three to four weeks. You can repeat the whitening process every 6-12 months to keep your teeth bright and white. Professional whitening gel refills can be purchased from your Dent Care Medical Center.
