Teeth whitening for extrinsic staining
Teeth whitening Macleod is designed to address extrinsic staining of the teeth. Extrinsic staining occurs as a result of poor oral hygiene, environmental factors such as food and drink and lifestyle choices such as smoking and excessive drinking. Intrinsic staining of the teeth, caused as a result of tooth decay and gum disease, tetracycline staining or fluorosis cannot be addressed by teeth whitening procedures rather our dentist will be able to to suggest better ways for you to improve the appearance of your teeth.
Teeth whitening at home or with the dentist?
If our dentist is happy that teeth whitening is suitable for you then we often recommend that you undergo a professional clean before you whiten your teeth. If you visit the dentist and the hygienist every 6 months, this is a great way of keeping your teeth clean and free of plaque and tartar which can improve the colour of your teeth. If you have not undergone a professional clean for a while then you need to consider this before beginning teeth whitening. Teeth whitening at the dental practice will achieve whitening results quicker whilst teeth whitening at home is a more gradual and gentle process. It is up to you to decide how much time you are willing to commit to transforming your smile and the price of the treatment procedures also differ so by speaking to our dentist you can find out more.
There are advantages to each of the options and our dentist will help you decide whether you want to undergo teeth whitening professionally or in the comfort of your own home. Teeth whitening is carried out using a combination of hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide. Peroxide is the ingredient that whitens your teeth so depending on the concentration of peroxide that the product contains this will determine the speed and efficacy of the procedure. Both methods help you achieve professional results, by speaking to our dentist at The Dental Retreat, we can help you decide which option is most suitable for you. Teeth whitening is a potentially excellent way to boost your self-confidence and encourage you to look after your teeth more effectively so speak to us at the dental Retreat today to learn more about our teeth whitening procedures and improve the appearance of your teeth very soon.
