Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is a common practice in the United States. In 2015, Americans spent over $11 billion on teeth whitening, which included over $1.4 billion on at-home whitening products. When it comes to teeth whitening, you basically have two options, either in a dental office or at home. Both teeth whitening options use bleaching agents. The primary difference is the over-the-counter options contain from 3% to 20% peroxide, either carbamide or hydrogen peroxides. The professional systems offered at Karmazin Dental contain from 15% to 43% peroxide.
You may claim that your primary dental concern is to have whiter teeth. Your teeth are one of the first things that people notice about your appearance, so it is important to have a healthy, younger, and whiter looking smile.

Many factors can cause your teeth to become dull and lose their healthy, white appearance. Certain foods can stain your enamel, which is the outside layer of your teeth. Plaque buildup on your teeth can also cause them to look yellow. This type of discoloration can easily be treated with consistent cleaning and whitening treatments. Occasionally teeth may look yellow because the hard enamel has eroded, beginning to reveal the dentin underneath. The dentin is a naturally yellow, bony tissue that lies underneath the enamel.
How Teeth Whitening Works
Your teeth whitening treatment will always begin with a proper professional cleaning of your teeth. We will then make an impression of your teeth so we can make custom trays that fit your teeth perfectly. The primary benefit of having the treatment supervised by us versus doing it at home is that the concentration of the hydrogen peroxide bleaching ingredient is considerably higher than the retail products.
Using these personalized trays allows for the best possible results. The over-the-counter teeth whitening systems also just have generic, one-size-fits-all trays, which also contributes to less impressive results.
If you have porcelain crowns, it might be necessary to replace them if your newly whitened teeth no longer match the crown. We will discuss all these factors before any treatment begins. It is always best to have all the information you need to make informed decisions about your oral health. Teeth whitening is not just a cosmetic procedure, it can improve oral health just like other dental procedures.
The Reasons for Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is not just performed for cosmetic reasons. You might wish to have teeth whitening to reduce the discoloration related to a prescribed medication. Prescription medications such as Tetracycline can discolor teeth if it was prescribed at a young age. Another reason you may want to have teeth whitening include reducing the look of Fluorosis, which is from too much Fluoride treatment as your teeth were developing. This condition leaves large white or yellow lines on your teeth that can be reduced with teeth whitening. What is excellent about teeth whitening is that it is an easy, non-invasive treatment that can be done quickly and efficiently at Karmazin Dental.
If you have discolored or stained teeth you may feel embarrassed by their appearance. Consulting with us can be a life-changing event for you by returning the perceived value in your smile with healthy teeth and gums.
