Professional Teeth Whitening
A bright, healthy smile projects confidence, whether you’re smiling at your partner, your children, your boss, or a stranger. But if your teeth are stained dark, no matter how much you brush them, your confidence can suffer.
Don’t worry! Our professional teeth whitening services can brighten your smile beautifully.
Why Are My Teeth Dark?
Several factors may contribute to stained teeth. You may be able to control some of these factors, but not others. Brightening stained teeth professionally can noticeably whiten the enamel in all of these situations:
Drinking Dark Beverages
Red wine, tea, coffee, soy sauce, and dark fruit juices all contain chemicals that can darken tooth enamel.
Eating Certain Dark Foods
Fruits and vegetables with deep, dark pigments can also stain your teeth. This should not stop you from eating them, of course, as those pigments often contain important nutrients for your overall health.
Using Tobacco Products
Dr. Beno, your dentist in Fort Myers, FL, urges all his patients to stop smoking and chewing tobacco for health reasons. It stains teeth, weakens gums, and damages your oral health.
Certain Medications
Several medications needed to manage other health conditions can stain the teeth or weaken tooth enamel as a side effect.
Traumatic Tooth Injury
If you’ve injured a tooth in an accident, it may become darker than the surrounding teeth.
Other Medical Conditions
Metabolic diseases, Celiac disease, nutritional deficiencies, liver disease, eating disorders, and other conditions may also affect tooth enamel coloring.
Poor Dental Hygiene Habits
Brush your teeth at least twice a day and floss once daily to keep your teeth and gums healthy and prevent yellowish tartar buildup that can cause gum disease.
It’s important to keep taking any medications your doctor has prescribed for other health conditions, and it’s essential to keep eating a healthy diet with lots of vividly-colored veggies and fruits—even though they might stain your teeth. If smoking and tobacco use are a problem, seek help for cessation. And always follow Dr. Beno’s advice for good oral hygiene. If your teeth are still darker than you’d like, professional teeth whitening in Ft. Myers can bring out your brightest, best smile.
Professional Teeth Whitening Services
If you’ve struggled with a smile that isn’t as bright as you want, you may have tried OTC teeth whitening products and been disappointed with inconsistent results. We have options that will finally get you the visible, stunning teeth-whitening results you want, either in our office or with our toolkit at home.
Professional Teeth Whitening in Our Office
Here in the office, a professional teeth whitening appointment lasts about an hour, and you will leave with teeth significantly brighter than when you walked in. We use a special device to keep your mouth open and apply a gel that protects your gums from the whitening solution. After that, we evenly coat your tooth enamel with the bleaching agent. We also use UV light to activate the oxygen in the solution to accentuate its whitening powers.
Professional Teeth Whitening at Home
Dr. Beno can also send you home with a professional teeth-whitening option. First, we create custom trays that fit your teeth exactly. After those trays are ready, you come back in, and we send you home with the teeth-brightening gel and the trays. You fill the trays with the gel and wear them to whiten the tooth enamel.
