Teeth whitening at Simply Dental in Los Algodones, Mexico, lets you say goodbye to stained, yellow or discolored teeth!
Maybe you have a special event coming up, or now is just the time to do something about it. Tooth whitening is very simple, quick and effective. In one visit to Simply Dental you can come out with teeth several shades whiter than when you walked in, or you can opt to do it yourself using our take-home kits with trays customized to fit your teeth.
What Causes Teeth to Turn Yellow?
Every day, a thin coating (pellicle) forms on the enamel and picks up stains. Tooth enamel also contains pores that can hold stains.
The most common reasons for teeth to get yellow or stained are:
⦁ Genetics. Some of us were born with yellow teeth, and some were lucky to have whiter teeth.
⦁ Age. The older you get, the more yellow your tooth would look like. It is because the enamel gets thinner due to normal wear and aging, therefore showing off the yellow color of the dentin.
⦁ Poor Oral Hygiene. Failure to properly clean your teeth will make the tooth stains stay more and go deeper your tooth structure.
⦁ Food and Beverages. Certain food and beverages affect the color of the teeth. The most popular that will discolor your teeth more are coffee, tea, soda, red wine, some type of berries, and spices.
⦁ Smoking. Nicotine, a substance found in smoking, causes stain in the teeth. Taking certain antibiotics at a certain age or point of time will affect your teeth color. For instance, taking Tetracycline while pregnant will make your child’s tooth discolored with the so-called Tetracycline stains.
Aging makes teeth less bright as the enamel gets thinner and the dentin becomes darker. It is also possible to have stains inside the tooth. These are called intrinsic stains.
We deliver two types of teeth whitening:
1. Power Whitening
Here your teeth are whitened in the dental chair. A protective barrier is placed on your gums and lips, and a gel is placed on your teeth. A lamp is positioned over the teeth and this activates the bleaching process. Watch this clip to see how it works. After one hour you can expect your teeth to look a few shades brighter and is a popular choice with many patients who have an important event coming up where they want to look their best.
2. Home Whitening
Here we custom-make a lightweight plastic mouth tray for you that fits snugly over your teeth. You then put a whitening gel inside the tray and wear it at night or for a few hours during the day. Results are normally seen over 2 weeks and your teeth will also appear whiter and brighter.
3. Combination
Using a combination of home whitening and power whitening may also be used. Your dentist will be able to explain the best option for you, during a consultation.
Please note, a consultation with a dentist is required to prescribe tooth whitening treatment.
