Teeth Whitening in Panama City, FL
Teeth whitening (or bleaching) is a simple, non-invasive dental treatment used to change the color of natural tooth enamel and is an ideal way to enhance the beauty of your smile.
Not only is a professional tooth whitening procedure one of the safest, most effective ways to brighten your smile in Panama City, FL, it is also one of the most economical. As we age, our teeth are exposed to foods and drinks that stain the teeth, and even though they may be perfectly healthy, they certainly aren't as appealing as they could be. Tooth whitening is not permanent. A touch-up may be needed every several years, and more often if you smoke, drink coffee, tea, or wine.
Reasons for tooth whitening:
- Fluorosis (excessive fluoridation during tooth development).
- Normal wear of outer tooth layer.
- Stained teeth due to medications (tetracycline, etc.).
- Yellow, brown stained teeth.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does teeth whitening work?
Opalescence® teeth whitening can be done to remove stains and discolorations. This whitening product has an active ingredient that penetrates your enamel and targets molecules that are stained or discolored. That ingredient, which is typically either hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, spreads these molecules apart, which breaks up areas of stains and discolorations. That process makes your teeth look whiter again.
Is teeth whitening safe?
If you follow your dentist’s recommendations and instructions, teeth whitening is regarded as safe.
How long does teeth whitening last?
Teeth whitening will last long after treatment. Nevertheless, there are factors such as diet, smoking, and some medications that can affect how long the whitening lasts.
