Maybe you’re careful not to drink coffee, but your teeth are stained anyway. Or perhaps you’ve diligently brushed with whitening toothpaste for years, and you’re not sure why your teeth continue to be stained. You’re not alone. Many factors can influence the colour of a tooth, including diet (blueberries, wine, tea, coffee and chocolate will stain teeth), childhood illnesses, tooth care, age, smoking and medications. If your teeth are stained, it’s not necessarily because you drink “too much coffee.” It could be your age, medications, or other factors.
The answer depends on your needs, wants and budget. With the Zoom In-Chair Teeth Whitening, you can walk out of the office with a new whiter smile in just 90 minutes while Home Whitening will take about 2 weeks to give similar results. This is why we offer a FREE Smile Assessment as part of our teeth whitening program. During this time Dr. Malkinson and his team will determine which teeth whitening procedure is right for you and your budget.
Dr. Malkinson is well-experienced in treating stained teeth, including those with stubborn stains from age, diet, and medication.
If stained or discoloured teeth have you feeling less than confident about your smile, give Dr. Malkinson's office a call to schedule a FREE Smile Assessment and discover how teeth whitening can give you a brighter, whiter smile in no time!
The Home Teeth Whitening or the ZOOM In-Office Whitening procedures are professional teeth whitening products of varying concentrations of Hydrogen Peroxide or Carbamide Peroxide as such they are required to be done under the supervision of a dentist. The process begins with a full examination (x-rays if necessary) to prevent an adverse reaction, sensitivity or other problems that may arise during the teeth whitening procedures.
For best results, it is recommended to have a professional scaling and cleaning prior to your teeth whitening treatment as tartar or plaque on your teeth will prevent the whitening gel from entering the tooth structure and will not be effective at bleaching the inner part of your teeth. Please note that should there be any disease present, such as cavities or gingivitis, these will need to be addressed first.
The whitening effects last up to three years on average. That said, the duration may vary from person to person. To prolong the effects of whitening, limit your consumption of tooth-staining substances and consider consuming drinks with a straw. These include:
Continue brushing and flossing your teeth daily during this time, and see your dental hygienist for a deep-cleaning every six months. Oral hygiene prevents stains. If your teeth do stain, you’re welcome to pick up additional whitening gel from our office anytime.
