Teeth Whitening

There are many types of stains and teeth problems that can be remedied with a teeth whitening procedure. Teeth whitening can be accomplished at Wellesley Family Dental and takes care of both extrinsic and intrinsic stains. Extrinsic stains are usually caused by dark-colored foods and/or beverages, while intrinsic stains normally result from trauma to the teeth or aging. 

Teeth whitening can improve or remove different types of stains and discoloration. We several different options available to our patients - call us at 781-263-9900 now to learn more about teeth whitening. Common issues:

• Aging – As our teeth age, they are subject to all types of staining, exposure to minerals and chemicals and general wear and tear, usually resulting in discoloration.
• Food stains – When darkly colored foods and beverages are consumed on a regular basis, teeth can lose their natural color and become dark and dull.
• Smoking – Nicotine leaves behind darkish brown deposits that soak into the teeth and leave behind darkening and discoloration.
• Natural color – During younger years, teeth are formed with a unique shade of white. Often, this color is darker or more yellow than an individual would prefer.
• Chemical exposure – Teeth are exposed to many chemicals over a lifetime that may lead to staining, darkening or mottling.
• Grinding – Pressure from excessive teeth grinding can lead to small cracks in the teeth which can trap food and may stain as a result.
• Accidents or injuries – Any type of trauma that affects the teeth can lead to a buildup of food and debris, causing certain areas to darken.

Teeth whitening can improve many of these conditions by changing the color of stains, brightening darker areas and evening out mottled conditions. If you believe its time for professional whitening to improve your dental appearance please feel free to contact us to discuss the several convenient options including Zoom WhiteSpeed and KöR Whitening to choose from.
