Bright Smiles with Teeth Whitening in Sidney

While teeth are not naturally completely white, many dental patients often associate a good, healthy smile with brighter, whiter teeth. Popular over-the-counter teeth whitening products, such as toothpastes and chewing gums, use abrasives to remove surface level stains. However, the effectiveness of these over-the-counter methods are limited in the kind of whitening results they offer. That’s why we offer professional teeth whitening at Sidney Centre Family Dentistry as part of our cosmetic dentistry services. We conduct both in-office teeth whitening as well as provide take-home kits with custom-made trays to wear at night. Dr. Braun can determine what teeth whitening treatment plan works best for your unique smile.

What Causes Your Teeth to Stain?

• Specific foods and drinks – Certain fruits and vegetables along with coffee, tea, sodas, and wines can darken the colour of your teeth.
• Tobacco – Both smoking and chewing tobacco can cause your teeth to stain.
• Poor dental hygiene – Neglecting to brush and floss your teeth allows plaque and substances like coffee or tobacco to contribute to tooth discolouration. 
• Certain medications – Some medications can discolour your teeth, especially those used for high blood pressure. For children, certain antibiotics can discolour teeth if they are still developing (usually for children before the age of 8).

Benefits of Professional Teeth Whitening in Sidney

There are a number of benefits to professional teeth whitening from Sidney Centre Family Dentistry:

1. A dentist can tell you whether or not you are a good candidate for teeth whitening. Teeth whitening treatments can be harsh on tooth enamel. Talking to a dentist can help you choose the method that works best for you.

2. Dental offices have access to stronger whitening treatments compared to over-the-counter methods found at your local pharmacy. These more professional methods often offer more noticeable results after fewer treatments.. 

3. If you are someone with dental restorations like crowns or dental implants, a dentist can provide a teeth whitening service that is consistent in shade with your restorations.
