Are You in Need of a Whiter Smile?

We all want a smile that we are proud to show off, but if in spite of impeccable hygiene, if you still do not have the bright white smile you know you deserve, then professional teeth whitening may be what you're looking for. Over-the-counter products cannot deliver the same quality of results, so to learn more contact Dr. Keith Wester and Dr. Jennifer Sarantos of Wester Dental Care in Portage, MI.

Why Professional Whitening?

Over-the-counter whitening products can be effective under the right circumstances. But their application can take weeks, sometimes months, and the results can't match what your doctor can accomplish in the office. The procedure takes only about an hour and most can expect a smile many shades whiter. While some products employ the same bleaching agents as your dentist, they use them in a lower concentration because only your doctor can offer a professional and safe setting to do so.

What Causes Stains?

Your bright smile can last you for years but having your teeth professionally whitened does not make them immune to stains. You should avoid colorful foods immediately after the procedure, and then try to not overindulge in them. Good dental hygiene can help maintain your goal, but over time, along with certain foods, coffee, and tea, and tobacco, can alter the appearance of your smile.

The Limitations of Whitening

A healthy smile is usually a good first step toward a brighter, lighter smile, if not a requirement before your dentist can recommend teeth whitening. For some, especially those who have not been to the office in some time, teeth cleaning sessions alone can do wonders. It's important also to remember that whitening treatments are not effective on crowns or veneers, or by stains brought on by either trauma or medication.
