A common problem a person may have as we age is the yellow and even dingy appearance of their teeth. As the adult teeth often become darker due to changes in the mineral structure of the tooth, and the enamel becomes less porous. Well, luckily today due to advances in the dental industry many treatment options are available.

First your dentist will examine your teeth and gums to assure good oral health. Once your dentist gives you a clean bill of oral health. A treatment plan is made specifically for you, such as custom whitening trays that hold the whitening gel close to your teeth. In most cases, your dentist will recommend whitening during waking hours. Whitening gels are generally very safe and mild, though few patients may experience sensitivity of the teeth and gums. For this reason, whitening should be done by dental professionals who know how to correct this problem should it occur. Most patients will see dramatic results in anywhere from three to eight days. Results may last for years though some patients prefer to do a “booster” bleach occasionally to keep their smile as bright as possible.
