Chemicals in foods, beverages, and tobacco can change the color of your teeth, as can the effects of aging, and sometimes, even genetics plays a role. Medications such as tetracycline, excessive fluoride, and previous dental work may also cause unsightly stains on your tooth enamel. Even if you brush and floss daily, stains can tarnish your beautiful smile and steal the confident image you want to convey.
Teeth whitening is a very popular cosmetic procedure and a safe way to brighten your smile. We understand that some patients don’t like the idea sitting under a light in the dentist’s chair and prefer to whiten their teeth gradually in the comfort of their home. In this case, we will provide custom whitening trays and professional strength bleaching gel. When used as Dr. Brown directs, you will see maximum results in about ten days to two weeks, though patients notice an immediate improvement.
