Why Teeth Need Whitening
Naturally brilliant and white teeth are rare, and most patients experience some discoloration of teeth with natural aging. However, the extent of discoloration may vary across patients, depending on the cause.
As we age, the hard, white tooth enamel layer starts to wear away, revealing the slightly yellowish, softer dentin layer underneath. You may also have naturally thinner tooth enamel due to genetic reasons. Consuming staining foods such as red wine, soya sauce, tea, and coffee can also discolor teeth over time. You can whiten your teeth using whitening toothpaste products that contain a small amount of bleach.
However, for optimal aesthetic effects, you may wish to consider professional teeth whitening in Calgary, AB.
Dr. Perry can lighten the color of your teeth by up to six shades. We exercise the utmost caution while whitening your teeth and ensure your comfort during every step of the process.
Teeth Whitening Procedure
Our skilled dentist in Calgary, AB, fastens a lip retractor and protects your gums with a gel that hardens around the gingival layer. We then apply concentrated dental bleach to the teeth enamel, where it breaks down stains. Depending on the whitening technique being used, the bleach may need to be activated using a high-powered light.
Dr. Perry will rinse off the bleach and re-apply it multiple times to achieve the desired result. While most patients are eligible for a teeth whitening treatment, those with a high number of dental prosthetics like crowns and fillings may not be good candidates for the procedure. We offer in-office whitening procedures and are also happy to provide take-home kits along with detailed usage guidelines.
