Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening can remove stains and discolouration from your teeth. This has become one of the most popular cosmetic dental treatments due to its ability to improve and enhance the appearance of one’s smile.
Why Whiten Your Teeth?
Over time, certain factors, such as genetics, age, disease, and diet, can affect the appearance of your teeth. Whitening your teeth addresses the outer layer of your enamel. The enamel is comprised of pores that retain stains, which impacts the shade of your teeth.
The most common reasons for teeth whitening in Saskatoon include:
- You smoke or use tobacco products
- You drink dark-coloured liquids including coffee, cola, tea, and red wine
- You don’t practice a proper oral hygiene routine
- Your teeth have become duller from ageing, as your enamel has thinned out and your dentin has darkened
In-Office Teeth Whitening
When you visit your dentist for teeth whitening, it is the most effective and long-lasting option. Results can last between six to 12 months with professional teeth whitening in Saskatoon. Your dentist will use whitening gels that have a much stronger concentration of peroxide. In as little as one hour, the gel breaks apart the bonds formed between stained molecules to create a drastically whiter smile. Laser whitening methods can also help you to achieve optimal whitening results as the high-powered light aids in the activation of the whitening gel.
Your dentist can also provide you with pre-made whitening trays that are specific to your set of teeth. This whitening method is preferred as over-the-counter whitening trays are a one-size-fits-all solution.
