If you looked at your teeth under a powerful microscope, you would find that the surfaces of your tooth enamel have tiny pores and textures. These areas can sometimes trap tiny staining particles from dark foods and beverages. In time, these stains can penetrate deeper into the tooth enamel. The depth of the stains will determine the most effective method your dentist, Dr. Ron Hernandez, recommends to whiten your smile.
Brushing your teeth with whitening toothpaste or using whitening strips is a popular and convenient way to remove minor surface stains. At the same time, these products use a form of hydrogen peroxide that is only strong enough to whiten minor surface stains.
Dental bleaching gel uses stronger concentrations of whitening agents than whitening toothpaste or strips. To use it, you will pour a small amount of the whitening gel into the provided tray and will hold it in your mouth for a set amount of time.
Deeply stained tooth enamel can rarely be improved by the whitening products sold in stores. To fully remove this level of staining, your dentist will need to administer a dental bleaching treatment. Our professional techniques and training make this the safest and most effective way to whiten your smile.
