What makes a Hollywood smile? If you guessed pearly white teeth, you’re correct. Unfortunately, everyday life tends to wear teeth down, causing them to discolor. Common causes for less than white teeth are:
Dark foods and drinks
Smoking
Various medications
Injuries and trauma
Dental decay
What is Teeth Whitening?
Tooth whitening is fast, easy, and cost-effective, ranking it high on the most requested cosmetic procedures list. When deciding to whiten your teeth, it’s best to visit professionals, such as the San Antonio Aesthetic & Family Dentistry team.
Teeth whitening can happen in the comfort of your home or the welcoming embrace of your trusted dentist. Before you go to the grocery store and purchase a whitener at random, here is what could potentially happen:
Harm your teeth
Worsen your smile
Cause unnecessary pain and discomfort
Reasons to Trust Dentists for a Brighter Smile
Professional-grade whiteners are significantly more potent than the ones found in over-the-counters. This is due to the concentration of hydrogen-peroxide: dentist-provided options are 47%, while OTC’s are less than 15% on average. There simply is no guarantee with OTC’s while our patients improve by up to eight shades whiter.
Additional reasons include:
Forecast and prevent sensitive tooth pain
Advise against whitening with filings (filler material can't be whitened)
Suggest alternatives if whitening is not an option
