Saint Augustine Beach Whitening Dentist
Teeth whitening is a process used to remove staining or discoloration from your teeth that is caused by natural defects or the foods and drinks we consume. Whitening can dramatically improve the color and shade of stained teeth, from yellow and brown stains back to a whitened shade. Your dentist can use many techniques to whiten your smile, including abrasive whitening, bleaching or chemical whitening and laser teeth whitening.

Teeth bleaching is the most common method of Jacksonville teeth whitening since it is most effective for slight discoloration and is usually the least expensive alternative. Your dentist will first apply a small amount of bleaching abrasive to the discolored teeth. If they can’t improve discoloration with a bleaching abrasive, your dentist will normally recommend a bleaching process for your teeth to achieve a brighter shade.
Laser teeth whitening uses a laser in your dentist’s office to activate a specific whitening gel. First, a translucent gel is applied to the patient’s discolored or stained teeth and a laser light is used to activate the gel and penetrate the tooth’s enamel to lighten the stained teeth. Sometimes, laser whitening is performed in conjunction with tooth bleaching, depending on the severity of dark stains, internal staining and discoloration.
Whitening strips are the least costly teeth whitening option and are very easy and convenient for the patient. They are available for the patient to use at home at their leisure, although they are sometimes recommended for use with in-office laser bleaching if you have serious staining and discoloration to achieve better results.
Teeth whitening can last around a year or more, depending on the method used and your eating and drinking habits. Regardless of the method, your cosmetic dentist will usually perform the process in steps to slowly and carefully bleach and lighten your teeth until you reach the best possible shade and all of your teeth are a consistent shade.
