Teeth Whitening Specialist

What causes yellow teeth?

A variety of factors lead to your teeth turning yellow. Certain medications, the things you drink and eat, and your age can all play a role. The enamel on your teeth can get surface stains from drinks like red wine, tea, and coffee, and this can make your teeth appear yellow. Major culprits also include smoking and tobacco.

Eventually, the surface stains can get even more challenging to get rid of, because they soak deep into the enamel of your tooth to the dentin.

Is whitening your teeth safe?

Absolutely. Teeth whitening isn’t harmful if you comply with product directions and guidelines. The professionals at Tavory Family Dentistry offer professional whitening treatments for safe, reliable results. You may prefer to get your teeth whitened in only one appointment if you have a busy schedule, or steadily over time with a take-home teeth whitening kit.

In both cases, the whitening solution is completely safe to put on your teeth and in your mouth. The only discomfort you may experience is temporary tooth and gum sensitivity from the bleaching agents.

What is the in-office whitening treatment like?

Your teeth could be up to eight shades whiter with just one simple in-office teeth-whitening treatment.* During your appointment, a highly skilled Tavory Family Dentistry team member fits your mouth with upper and lower dental trays. These trays contain the hydrogen peroxide whitening solution.

Your dental professional covers your gums and lips to protect them from the solution. They put the bleaching solution in the trays and shine a special bright light on your teeth. You sit back and relax as the bleach and light work together to whiten your teeth for three 15-minute treatments in a single visit.

You wait comfortably between treatments until your final bleaching treatment is complete, then your dental expert applies a gel to your teeth to minimize any post-treatment sensitivity you experience. Then you're done. You have whiter teeth and a gorgeous smile in about two hours.

For a more gradual approach to whitening teeth over a couple of weeks, the Tavory Family Dentistry team also offers at-home teeth-whitening kits.

To learn more about professional in-office teeth-whitening treatments as well as the take-home options, call or schedule a consultation at Tavory Family Dentistry today. You deserve an outstanding smile.
