You’ve probably seen countless commercials and over-the-counter products promising “whiter and brighter” teeth. However, most of these products don’t deliver the results of in-office teeth whitening treatments. Instead of spending money on products that don’t work, professional whitening can provide noticeable improvements. At Smile Horizons Dental Arts in Mississauga, Ontario, in-office whitening treatments can help make your smile brighter than ever.

Is teeth whitening right for me?

Teeth whitening can be suitable for many people, especially those with stained or discoloured teeth. In most cases, only adult teeth are treated, due to the strength of professional-grade whitening solutions. It’s recommended to assess your unique situation before starting any whitening treatment.

What causes teeth to become stained?

Teeth can become stained or discoloured due to various factors, including:

• Injury to a tooth
• Genetics
• Stain-causing foods and drinks
• Excessive fluoride
• Tobacco use
• Illness
• Certain medications
• Ageing

While it’s important to minimize exposure to stain-causing foods and drinks after whitening, maintaining results is manageable. In-office teeth whitening is a fast and smooth process, and touch-up treatments may be done periodically to keep your smile looking bright.

You can also follow strategies to help maintain your teeth’s whiteness for longer, such as avoiding certain foods and beverages that can stain enamel.
