As we age, it's not uncommon for our teeth to appear duller, stained, and even yellowed. Medications we take, foods we consume, and certain lifestyle choices like smoking cigarettes or tobacco use can contribute to tooth staining and discoloration.
However, professional teeth whitening offers reliable solutions for dull and discolored teeth that can brighten your smile and take years off your appearance! Every patient's needs are unique, but here are some instances when our dentists may recommend teeth whitening.
#1 For Severe Tooth Staining or Discoloration
Professional teeth whitening can often eliminate tooth stains, and at Alta Dental Studio, we offer in-office bleaching treatment that can deliver immediate results. In-office teeth whitening in Vancouver can be ideal for patients who want to feel confident about their appearance for a significant event like a wedding, vacation, or reunion.
An in-office bleaching treatment usually takes 60 to 90 minutes, and our patients leave with a smile that is six to ten shades lighter than when they first came in!
#2 Before Dental Restorations
If you're having dental restorations such as porcelain veneers, crowns, bridges, or dental bonding done, you may want to brighten your smile beforehand, especially if you are restoring teeth in the sight line of your smile. This way, your dentist can match your restorations to your newly brightened tooth shade, giving you the best results for a bright new smile!
Professional Teeth Whitening in Vancouver
At Alta Dental Studio, besides our professional in-office teeth whitening treatment, we also offer a convenient take-home teeth bleaching system for patients who don't need quick results and would prefer to whiten their teeth at home.
We'll create custom plastic bleaching trays with impressions we take of your teeth. The snug fit will keep bleaching gel from escaping and ensure you achieve the best results.
