This
four-part article series provides a comprehensive overview of
in-office teeth whitening as a fantastic cosmetic solution to stained
and discolored teeth.
If
you’re one of Colorado Springs’ many residents who are interested
in undergoing teeth whitening treatment, this is a must-read for you!
In this four-part article series, we shall be asking a team of
cosmetic dentists all the questions we could think of concerning this
vastly popular aesthetic dental treatment. Their answers could guide
you on your journey to a more beautiful and glitteringly white smile!
Question:
Who is the ideal candidate for teeth whitening?
Answer:
“As long as you’re in good oral health, almost anyone can get
their teeth whitened, which is one of the great features of this
treatment,” explain cosmetic
dentists in Colorado Springs.
“If your teeth have become a little stained or dulled over the
years as a result of the foods and beverages you consume, a
professional bleaching treatment can totally change the appearance of
your smile. Even smokers can have the evidence of their habit
reversed somewhat, however, the effects aren’t permanent. If you
continue to smoke or drink a lot of coffee, the enamel of your teeth
will become stained and darkened again.”
Question:
Are there cases of advanced staining that a professional teeth
whitening treatment cannot address?
Answer:
“Yes there are. In advanced
cases where the stains have penetrated deeply into the dental enamel,
or the enamel has become discolored right through, we may recommend
porcelain veneers as a more effective treatment,” say teeth
whitening experts in Colorado Springs. “The bleach contained by the
whitening products dentists use only lightens the appearance of
surface staining, so anything else would firstly require diagnosis
and then possibly a different course of action.”
Question:
So are you saying that discoloration caused by, for example, tooth
decay cannot be reversed by a professional teeth whitening treatment?
Answer:
“Yes. Many people take a look
at their teeth in the mirror and think that a teeth whitening
treatment will improve their smiles, which should be the case. But,
this train of thought becomes hugely problematic when the issue
causing discoloration is internal decay or build-up of
yellowish-white plaque and tartar. If you don’t maintain proper
dental hygiene at home, the appearance of your smile will suffer and
you will likely require a professional teeth cleaning and treatment
for decay and cavities before you can be considered a candidate for
teeth bleaching.
“The
very best way to maintain a beautiful white smile is simply to brush
and floss your teeth regularly! But, if your teeth have become dulled
or discolored because you enjoy your coffee or you were simply
genetically gifted with darker, more yellow dental enamel, then a
professional teeth whitening treatment could be an excellent
solution.”
Stay
Tuned for Part 2
It
would seem we’ve arrived at the first very important lesson
concerning cosmetic dental treatment, which is the importance of good
oral health and hygiene. No teeth
whitening dentist in Colorado Springs
is going to perform a cosmetic procedure on a decayed, unhealthy
smile without first eliminating signs of decay and infection.
