Teeth Whitening Works Wonders
If your teeth are yellow, darkened or stained in any way, you may be reluctant to show off your smile. After all, a smile is the way you convey your feelings to other people without even saying a word. What do those discolored teeth say about you? They may say that you have poor dental hygiene or that you have some consumption habits that you may need to curtail. Whatever the case, when your teeth don’t shine, neither do you.
You can use some home remedies to whiten your teeth, such as whitening toothpaste, strips, gels, and trays, but you’ll find the only really effective and striking results come from professional teeth whitening treatments like we offer here at Dental Care of Franklin. As a cosmetic dentistry pro, Dr. Jason White has given countless people from the Franklin, TN area bright new smiles through teeth whitening. Those fresh smiles can bring added benefits in the form of increased confidence and a more satisfying life. See the results for yourself!
Factors That Contribute to Tooth Discoloration
- Poor dental hygiene
- Tobacco use
- Coffee and tea
- Carbonated drinks
- Red wine
- Highly fluoridated water
Teeth Whitening the Opalescence® Way
Opalescence is a highly effective cosmetic dentistry tool that can transform your stained teeth into spectacular ones in a single visit. With this popular teeth whitening system, Dr. Jason White applies a thick gel made from hydrogen peroxide and potassium nitrate to your teeth several times during one appointment. This gel is chemically activated and will eat away at stains and discolorations without the need of an uncomfortable light. Once you’ve had Opalescence your teeth will not only be much whiter but also much stronger. While some teeth whitening treatment can leave you with more sensitive teeth, this one can actually minimize your sensitivity. The entire Opalescence process can be completed in as few as 90 minutes from the time you’re seated in the examination room! After you’ve completed this first treatment at our Franklin, TN office, Dr. White can prescribe tooth whitening gel and toothpaste so that you can continue the teeth whitening process at home to maintain that shiny smile.
