Woman With Bright White TeethYou could get the brighter smile you want in as little as one in-office whitening treatment.

There are so many different ways to whiten your smile that you may feel a bit confused as to which option to choose. While you could opt for over-the-counter whitening methods, these often take a long time to produce results, often fall short of expectations, and don't last long. Instead, you could turn to our cosmetic dentists in Westland, MI, Dr. Dennis Aylward, Dr. Brent Carey, and Dr. Allison Carey, for a vastly better experience! Read on to learn more about our professional whitening options and how they differ from commercial products and do-it-yourself approaches.

 

Why are my teeth stained?

There are two types of dental stains: extrinsic (external) and intrinsic (internal):

  • Extrinsic stains are more common kind, and they are caused by the foods/drinks we consume such as coffee, tea, red wine, and tomato sauce.
  • Intrinsic stains, on the other hand, occur under the enamel layer within the dentin. Trauma to the tooth and certain medications (e.g. antibiotics) can lead to these stains.

 

How does professional teeth whitening work?

Professional teeth whitening is the fastest and most effective way to target both extrinsic and minor intrinsic stains. The bleaching gel that we use contains a very high concentration of peroxide, and it is painted over the front of the teeth to break up stubborn stain molecules within the enamel and dentin layers. The bleaching gel also has the ability to brighten the overall color of your smile.

In as little as one session you may be able to get the brighter results you want. The major benefit of professional whitening is that your results are immediate and significantly visible, which makes it a great option for patients on a time crunch!
