Teeth Whitening Q & A

Why do my teeth look dull?

Even if you brush three times a day and visit Redmond Smiles Family & Implant Dentistry twice a year, you may still have dull and dingy-looking teeth. As you age, the hard, white enamel that protects your teeth slowly erodes and becomes more transparent, revealing a layer of brown dentin.

Several foods, substances, and habits can discolor your teeth, including:

  • Berries
  • Wine
  • Colas and rootbeer
  • Grape juice
  • Tobacco
  • Certain medications
  • Tartar, due to poor oral hygiene
  • Your genes

How can I get whiter teeth?

You can boost your chances of having healthy, white teeth by avoiding dark-colored foods and brushing and flossing after every meal. You should also have your teeth professionally whitened and cleaned biannually at Redmond Smiles Family & Implant Dentistry to remove tooth-decaying tartar.

Why can’t I whiten my teeth myself?

Over-the-counter (OTC) whitening kits at the drug store have several disadvantages when compared to professional whitening at Redmond Smiles:

  • Can’t lighten as dramatically
  • Take weeks or months to get results
  • Whitening trays aren’t custom-designed to fit your teeth
  • Chemicals can be harsh and irritate your gums
  • Overuse can erode enamel and damage teeth

What happens during a professional teeth whitening session?

The dentists at Redmond Smiles Family & Implant Dentistry take extra steps to ensure that your teeth whitening session leaves you with both whiter and healthier teeth. Your dentist and hygienist will:

  • Professionally clean your teeth and gums to remove plaque, tartar, and other debris
  • Examine your teeth and gums to ensure they are healthy and free of cavities, cracks, infections, or other abnormalities
  • Take pre-whitening images for comparison
  • Use custom-designed whitening trays that fit snugly on your teeth
  • Customize the whitening blend based on your needs and sensitivity

You see your final results right away or within a few days, rather than waiting weeks to appreciate a difference with OTC kits. If you prefer,  your dentist can also design a customized take-home kit for you instead of an in-office visit. Or you can use the take-home kit to supplement your office teeth whitening.
