A bright smile goes a long way in making a good first impression, so it’s no surprise that teeth whitening is one of the most commonly requested cosmetic services. In a society where white teeth are considered a sign of good health and success, many are clamoring to get that pearly shine.
If you’re feeling self-conscious about the color of your teeth, then take control of your appearance by letting us help you achieve a beautiful smile with our professional teeth whitening service in Fort Walton Beach!
How Does Teeth Whitening Work?
Teeth can be lightened by applying a dental bleaching agent directly onto the enamel. The bleach penetrates into the enamel and breaks up the bonds of discolored molecules. Stains and chips that do not respond to bleaching agents can be covered up by a tooth-colored composite bonding material.
Teeth whitening is not permanent because your teeth continue to get daily use, but our team at Emerald Coast Dentistry can help you maintain a healthy and glowing smile with regular touch-ups.
What Causes Teeth to Darken or Yellow?
The reasons teeth become discolored vary:
- Surface stains from coffee, wine, cola, and other drinks or foods
- Internal stains from medications or excessive exposure to fluoride
- Smoking
- Advancing age
Whatever is causing your teeth to darken or yellow, a whitening system can restore and enhance the brilliance of your smile.
