Teeth whitening will remove stains or other discoloration from the tooth’s surface. There are different methods of teeth whitening; we provide in-office, take-home, and power bleaching. Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental treatment that can improve the appearance of teeth. Teeth are whitened to remove the effects of coffee, cigarettes, and other substances that permanently stain or discolor teeth.
Certain medications may also cause tooth discoloration. Fluorosis, or absorbing too much fluoride, can also affect tooth color. Furthermore, aging can cause teeth to lose their bright color. We provide professional teeth whitening treatment in San Antonio, TX, to improve the cosmetic appearance of our patient’s smiles.
Teeth Whitening in San Antonio, TX
Keep in mind; teeth whitening is not safe or effective for everyone. We recommend that patients receive a dental exam before starting treatment. Dr. Abazid will advise patients about the most appropriate procedure for their smiles. He will also discuss the expected results of treatment. Patients may expect yellow or gray teeth to be replaced with a bright, white color.
However, whitening may not work well on some stain colors. We may not recommend whitening for people with gum disease, receding gums, or sensitive teeth. Dr. Abazid may advise against certain treatments for patients with worn enamel. The tooth enamel is the outer layer of the tooth.
When there is no enamel on an exposed tooth root, the root cannot be whitened. In addition, we must fill cavities before treatment. Otherwise, patients can experience additional mouth sensitivity if the whitening gel comes in contact with decay or the interior of the tooth.
