It is a fact that a truly snow-white smile does not exist in nature. The shade of the teeth, one way or another, cannot be crystal white due to certain characteristics. The point is that the color of the tooth directly depends on the color of the dentin, which is under the enamel, which is naturally yellow. Accordingly, the more intense the shade of yellow dentin, the thinner the enamel, the more different the color of the teeth can be yellow, white-yellow, gray-white, yellow-white. In addition, the enamel is very susceptible to food coloring, so for those who consume large quantities of tea, coffee, drinks with artificial colors, smoke, plaque form on the teeth and gives them a dark color. There are also aesthetic problems such as brown spots or dots on the teeth. They may be caused by excessively frequent antibiotics at an early age (“tetracycline teeth”) or water with high levels of fluoride (“dental fluorosis”). But be that as it may, many want to make their smile attractive, especially since today there are quite effective methods for this. Affordable Dentistry of Coral Springs provides several types of teeth whitening services:

• Whitening treys (simple whitening)
• ZOOM professional whitening;
• Home whitening;

The dentist will best be able to tell which method to choose. To do this, you can come to the dental office, and right after examination and assessment of the condition of your teeth, the doctor will be able to choose the best whitening method that will give you confidence and a beautiful smile.

Home whitening procedure
The essence of this type of procedure is very simple: a special mouthguard is made according to the impression of your teeth, inside of which a whitening gel is placed, and the mouth guard is put on the dentition. Such a mouthguard should be worn for about 2-3 hours a day, or worn exclusively at night. The terms of wearing the mouthguard are individual for everyone, but on average, it may take from 2-3 weeks to a month for complete whitening of the enamel. Also in our clinic whitening is carried out using Zoom technology, you can learn more about which you can personally when visiting the dental office.

If, after removing the aligner, there are unpleasant sensations in the form of increased sensitivity to cold and heat influences, a special gel should be applied to the teeth, which will eliminate the sensitivity. The gel is applied for 10 minutes, after which the teeth should simply be rinsed with water.

Professional teeth whitening
This type of procedure involves carrying out several consecutive stages to obtain an ideal result:

• a special gel is applied to the tooth enamel;
• the gel is activated by exposure to a lamp or laser radiation;
• in the process, oxygen atoms are released from the gel, which penetrates the tooth enamel and eliminates the dark shade;
• upon completion of all manipulations, the tooth enamel is covered with a compound that prevents the appearance of hypersensitivity and strengthens the teeth.

The time of the procedure is short, and the result will delight you for a long time, provided that you follow all the recommendations for caring for your teeth after whitening.

How to prepare for the dental teeth whitening procedure
Since the condition of the enamel is different for all patients, the choice of the whitening method will also differ. For some, it will be enough to carry out a simple hygienic cleaning, the essence of which is to remove plaque and calculus with an ultrasonic device, as well as the subsequent polishing of the enamel with a special paste. This method is perfect for those who want to get rid of tobacco plaque. In this case, you may not need any additional methods. This cleaning method saves time and budget.

For those patients who are not satisfied with the above method, the doctor will suggest other methods of cleaning tooth enamel, such as laser, office, or home whitening.

All that is required of the patient is to make an appointment with the dentist and, after a personal examination and conversation with the dentist, decide on the use of a particular method.

Care after enamel whitening
After the teeth whitening procedure, any patient wants to maintain the effect obtained for a long time. To do this, the dentist  of our clinic advise you to adhere to some recommendations for dental care:

• do not consume large quantities of products with coloring pigments, tea, coffee, wine;
• quit smoking;
• brush your teeth regularly;
• visit your hygienist once in half a year for hygienic cleaning of teeth.

Experts recommend hygienist care twice per year or even more often if necessary. Do not forget that in addition to aesthetic problems, cleaning is able to eliminate pathogenic microbes that lead to the appearance of various dental diseases. Therefore, the more carefully you watch your teeth, the brighter your smile will be!

Absolutely white teeth are absent in nature – the shade depends on the degree of color saturation of the dentin, which is located under the tooth enamel and is initially yellow. In this regard, the enamel surface is yellow or gray-white, just yellow or white-yellow. With age, the saturation of the yellow hue depends on the patient’s lifestyle: the presence of bad habits (tobacco, love of red wine), food addictions (the use of foods and drinks containing dyes), as well as untimely treatment of caries and removal of stones. An unpleasant dark brown plaque can be seen on the teeth of tobacco lovers. The problem is especially pronounced if a heavy smoker combines a “cigarette” with drinking coffee.

If you have yellow-brown stripes in the area of ​​the necks of all teeth, it is different. The antibiotic “tetracycline”, which was taken by children under 12 years of age or a pregnant woman during the period of mineralization and formation of dental tissues, will give an effect called “tetracycline teeth”.
