Teeth whitening is one of the most popular elective treatments in modern dentistry today. While teeth can start to look more yellow over time, they may become stained due to tobacco use or drinking cola, tea, coffee or wine. If your teeth are stained, you may wonder if whitening will really help. Our Santa Clara cosmetic dentist can help you decide if a teeth whitening is right for you.
While you may not need to have your teeth whitened for dental health reasons, whitening them can have a lot of benefits. You may enjoy enhanced confidence and greater self-esteem. Whiter teeth can make you look younger as well as give you a boost before a big event, such as a wedding or reunion. Whitening can also be used to simply remove the stains that have accumulated over the years and restore your natural smile.
You may benefit from whitening if you:
• Smoke or chew tobacco
• Eat berries and other highly pigmented foods
• Drink coffee, tea, soda, wine or energy drinks
• Have teeth that are discolored due to dental trauma or medication use
Not all whitening treatments are appropriate or effective for treating all types of stains or discolorations. Call us today to learn more or to schedule an appointment with our expert in teeth whitening in Santa Clara.
