Over time, teeth can appear dull or yellow. Certain lifestyle factors, such as drinking tea and coffee or smoking, can make teeth appear duller than they should. There are various teeth whitening procedures that can help to improve the look of your teeth. Many teeth whitening systems are easy, quick, and painless, often performed within the confines of the dental office. A dentist may be able to use a variety of chemicals or lasers to help create brighter and whiter teeth. Talk to your dentist today about which teeth whitening system is best for your needs, and your desired end result.
                         
Aside from procedures that can be performed within the dental office, there is also the option for a teeth whitening kit that you take home. A teeth whitening kit usually includes a plastic mold, made specifically for your teeth. This plastic mold is filled with a tooth whitening gel. The mold is then placed over your teeth, allowing the whitening gel to set. The gel is left on for a short period of time, working to whiten the outside of your teeth. Many people begin to see results after just a few weeks of using a home whitening kit. Talk to the team at August Dentistry to learn if a teeth whitening kit is right for you.
