We’re all attracted to great-looking smiles. We smile when we meet new people, when something makes us happy, and when we want to appear likable. A great smile makes us think of health, prosperity, happiness, and the best moments of life.
But we also can feel bad about teeth that are yellow, brown, or stained—especially if we see them in the mirror every morning.
It might be time to get rid of that stress. Have you had enough? Ready to upgrade your smile in preparation for a wedding, job interview, or graduation?
At Robison Family Dental, we have two convenient options for teeth whitening that really works: one-hour, in-office whitening and easy, take-home whitening kits.
How Does a Teeth Whitening System Work?
In many cases, patients’ teeth have been discolored by colored particles in foods and drinks. Particles get stuck in the teeth like grime in a sponge. Whitening gels are an ideal solution.
Tiny particles in our bleaching systems are absorbed by your teeth. They then cling to the dark particles in the teeth and carry them out of your teeth during the whitening process.
This lets your natural whiter tooth material show again. Each treatment improves the overall shade of your teeth.
Two Convenient, Professional Whitening Options
At Robison Family Dental, we also offer two options. Depending on your work and home life, one might be better for you:
- In-Office: Our high-tech, in-office option whitens teeth in an hour to an hour and a half. You kick back, take a relaxing mini spa session, and walk out with whiter teeth—self-contained and simple.
- Home Whitening: Take a bleaching kit home with you. It delivers excellent results over two weeks. Some patients love it because they can relax in their home environment, watch their kids, binge a show, and so on.
Or think about a combination of the two. Get an in-office session for a quick burst of whitening and a home kit for long-term maintenance.
Over-the-Counter Kits Vs Dentist-Supervised Whitening
Have you thought about getting a whitening kit from the drugstore? Getting high-quality whitening from your dentist is a better choice, because:
- We customize your treatment for your teeth, gums, and oral health.
- We select our products out of hundreds of options to bring you a system we fully endorse.
- Our system gives you results while your team monitors your progress.
- You don’t have to buy and try different products at a store, wondering which one will work.
What Causes Tooth Discoloration?
To prevent tooth stains, you may find it helpful to understand why teeth get darker over time. This could help you keep your teeth looking amazing for as long as possible between appointments.
The causes of tooth darkening include:
- Strongly-Colored Foods: Our teeth absorb dark-colored particles in food, becoming discolored in the process. Culprits include berries, beets, curry, tomato sauce, balsamic vinegar, and soy sauce.
- Colorful Drinks: Drinks that can darken your teeth include tea, coffee, cola, and certain fruit juices.
- Bacteria: Buildups of bacteria create acid that destroys the top layer of teeth, revealing a yellowish material underneath. Brush your teeth when you first wake up and before bed to help control bacteria.
- Accidents: Impacts that chip or crack a tooth can damage the enamel and show the dentin underneath, which can make the tooth look discolored.
- Medication: Prescription drugs can darken your teeth. If you notice it happening, ask for an alternative prescription that might affect your teeth differently.
- Aging: The top, whiter material of teeth can wear off with age, leaving the darker dentin exposed.
Dr. Robison offers whitening, veneers, crowns, and other solutions to give you back your dream smile at any age.
