One factor contributing to a person’s self-confidence is the brilliance of that individual’s smile. Having a shining, pearly white smile can boost your self-esteem and help you approach every situation with great confidence knowing that your smile will impress everyone you meet. Unfortunately, tooth enamel is easily stained. Teeth stained may cause a person to be embarrassed and unwilling to share their smile with those around them.

Everyone deserves to be proud of their smile and to be able to show it off whenever they want. Even looking in the mirror should be a pleasure because of the brilliant smile looking back at you. Tooth discoloration is a serious issue because it can affect every aspect of your life when meeting people and being in public. Feeling uncomfortable showing your teeth due to the imperfect tooth color is an unfortunate side effect of consuming certain products. Still, patients at Edmonton Dental do not have to suffer from oral health issues, including less-than-white teeth.

Everything from the food we eat to the beverages we drink can stain teeth and prevent you from having a happy, brighter smile. Two types of stains may affect your teeth: extrinsic and intrinsic. Each one will need different professional teeth whitening products and procedures to remove the staining or reduce it. No matter what type of staining you have on your teeth, the whitening results you want can be achieved so that you can restore your smile and your self-confidence.

Extrinsic stains accumulate on the enamel from the substances which pass by our teeth. Things like coffee, blueberries, and tobacco products are known to cause extrinsic stains. Intrinsic stains are found within the tooth structure and can only be lightened through a chemical bleaching agent. Dental professionals understand the desire for whiter teeth, and they work hard to help ensure patients like you can bring back the shine in their smiles through whitening strips and other whitening products. Whether they use scaling or whitening gel or any other teeth whitening treatment, most dental offices strive to provide you with a comfortable and pleasant dental experience.

At Edmonton Dental in Edmonton, AB, our professional tooth whitening experts understand the importance of having a bright and shining smile. We strive to help our patients achieve that goal. Our dental team also knows that tooth sensitivity may be an issue for some patients, so we work diligently to ensure that the whitening procedure we use for your teeth will not cause you discomfort.

Our dental experts can offer you whitening strips that have been customized for your smile so that you can achieve the tooth brightness you want – and the best part is that you can do it at home!

Teeth Whitening through Bleaching with a Whitening Agent

Bleaching treatment refers to a teeth whitening process which uses a concentrated bleaching agent or whitening gel that whitens teeth beyond their natural color. Many people who have serious tooth discoloration will opt for bleaching because it utilizes the power of bleaching agents such as hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide.

To avoid possible damage to your teeth from the hydrogen peroxide or carbamide in the whitening gel, leave teeth whitening to professional cosmetic dentists.

Tooth Whitening Treatment

Teeth whitening is the process of brightening teeth and restoring the natural color of the enamel after it has been stained. Many whitening kinds of toothpaste and mouth rinses contain teeth whitening and cleaning agents. Teeth whitening treatments to remove surface stains can be done in your dentist’s office or through at-home whitening kits.

Stain-lifting

Stain lifting or stain removal is one option that uses an ultrasonic scaler and or hand tools to clean the enamel and lift extrinsic stains caused by plaque from the teeth. Once the plaque is removed, the teeth can be polished with a conventional type of polish or “airflow,” a combination of water, air, and powder (either sodium bicarbonate or erythritol-based powder). This process can be completed at a routine dental cleaning appointment and usually only takes a few minutes.

When stain-lifting teeth whitening is complete, your teeth will be smooth and bright without the need for abrasive materials that can scratch your enamel and increase tooth sensitivity. Stain-lifting removes biofilm, surface stains, and calculus buildup.
