Teeth Whitening

In our society, attractiveness is appreciated. Polls show that, of the various features on the human body, the smile is noticed first. In some consumer reports on cosmetic dentistry, it has been found that the smile is associated with professional and personal success. Men and women who are not satisfied with the appearance of their smiles can find help at Sacramento Natural Dentistry, where professional teeth whitening services are designed around the individual.

Why the smile changes with time

Discoloration of the smile is something that has long been associated with age. In reality, there is more than the passage of time to blame for dullness and stains. While enamel is one of the strongest substances found in the body, teeth also have thousands of tiny pores wherein microscopic particles of debris can settle. Some of the most common causes of discoloration include:

• Routine consumption of coffee, tea, red wine, or soda
• Smoking
• Poor oral hygiene

While these three points can be partially responsible for unwelcome changes to your smile, it is also possible that genetics predetermine the color of your teeth, or the discoloration is due to the use of certain medications

Teeth whitening prescribed or performed by your dentist is a straightforward way to get your smile back on track. We offer care that includes the necessary components for excellent results: custom-fitted whitening trays and professional carbamide peroxide solution. In-office treatment consists of precise application of whitening gel followed by activation with special light. Regardless of the system selected, the whiteness of the smile can be lightened several shades, leaving you feeling more satisfied with your smile and more confident in general.

We believe in providing each patient with care designed specifically for their needs and expectations. In-office whitening is a wonderful way to remove stains but may not be right for every situation. During consultation, we assess suitability by considering several factors, including the tendency for sensitivity. Discussing expectations and performing a thorough exam, we can design treatment that is safe, comfortable, and effective.
