Whitened Teeth for a Brighter, Whiter Valentine’s Day

February 12, 2016

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and we want you to feel confident about the way you look no matter what your plans are. Here at Dr. Genninger’s office, we offer teeth whitening in Tampa, FL that gives you confidence in your smile and your entire face. Whether you have discolored teeth from poor oral health care, aging or the foods you eat, we are here to help you feel confident about your smile once again.

Why Are My Teeth Discolored?

Teeth may become discolored for many reasons, including some that are out of your control. Some common causes of discolored teeth include:

• Trauma
• Accumulations of plaque and tartar over time
• Natural aging
• Smoking or tobacco use
• Fluids like tea, coffee, red wine or cola
• Pigmented foods like blueberries or cherries
• Too much fluoride
• Antibiotic treatment during childhood

Regardless of the reasons why your teeth are discolored, dental technology has created ways that make it easy to whiten your teeth, just in time for Valentine’s Day.

How It Works

There are several different options for teeth whitening, some done at home and others done in office. Bleaching procedures are used in office and at home in order to change teeth anywhere from 5-7 shades brighter than their current color. Your cosmetic dentist may suggest a combination of both in office and at home treatments in order to get optimal results.

In-office bleaching is a light-activated treatment that bleaches the teeth almost immediately for dramatic results. It is virtually painless and removes both surface stains and those that are deeper inside the tooth.

With at-home bleaching, special trays are made that fit your teeth exclusively. These trays are filled with a bleaching solution and worn for short periods during the day for just a few weeks in order to bleach your teeth.
