Everybody loves a bright white smile, and there are a variety
of products and procedures available.
Teeth generally yellow with the aging process. This is normal, however we can
actually improve the whiteness of your teeth. We can also
correct internal staining which can be caused by caused by tetracycline found
in many medications.
Many people are satisfied with the sparkle they get from brushing twice daily
with a fluoride-containing toothpaste, cleaning between their teeth once a day
and the regular cleanings. If you decide you would like to go beyond this to make
your smile look brighter, you should investigate all of your options.
There are a variety of "at home" products for whitening your teeth, however in
office treatments give much better long term results. Dr. Davidson can show you
where you will be on the whitening scale now, and where you could be when the treatment
is complete.
Dr. Davidson prefers the tray system where impressions of your teeth are made. A thin
tray is fabricated, much like an athletic mouth guard that fits your teeth. A bleaching
solution is applied in the tray for 1 hour at home a day for approximately 3 weeks.
