Am a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?
May 31, 2023 9:55 amOver time, your teeth might become duller or yellower — even if you maintain a consistent oral hygiene routine. Professional teeth whitening can dramatically enhance the brightness of your teeth so you can feel more confident behind your smile!
What Makes Teeth Yellow?
Yellow teeth can be attributed to a variety of factors, such as genetics, diet, poor oral hygiene, tobacco use, teeth grinding, and certain medications. Weak and thin enamel means that the dentin, which is the middle layer of the tooth that has a yellow shade, becomes more prominent.
Should I Get Professional Teeth Whitening?
There are many products out there that claim to help whiten teeth, including over-the-counter pastes, strips, and devices, and even DIY concoctions. However, these can be ineffective and even harmful to your teeth when used improperly or in excess.
Professional teeth whitening uses safe, professional-grade ingredients that are powerful but gentle on your tooth enamel. They are more likely to deliver dramatic results and less likely to cause tooth sensitivity and gum irritation. At Amber Hills Dental, it only takes one appointment to see your smile become up to eight shades whiter! We also offer at-home teeth whitening kits that deliver similar whitening results in the comfort of your own home over the course of several weeks.
Our team will be able to determine your eligibility for whitening during a cosmetic consultation! Generally, as long as you have healthy natural teeth and strong gums, you are a candidate for professional teeth whitening.
Is Professional Teeth Whitening Affordable?
At-home whitening tends to cost less than in-office treatment, and we offer flexible financing to make our services affordable. At Amber Hills Dental in Henderson, NV, we will provide you with a full cost estimate of your treatment before you commit so you can decide if professional teeth whitening is right for you.
