A bright, white smile can boost your confidence and leave a lasting impression. If your teeth have become stained or discolored over time, professional teeth whitening can help restore their brilliance. At Waterford Dental Team, we offer safe and effective whitening solutions tailored to your needs. Read on to learn about the benefits of professional teeth whitening and how you can achieve the dazzling smile you’ve always wanted.

Why Do Teeth Become Discolored?

Even with regular brushing and flossing, teeth can become discolored due to various factors, including:

• Food and Beverages: Coffee, tea, red wine, and dark-colored sodas can stain enamel over time.
• Tobacco Use: Smoking or chewing tobacco leads to yellowing and discoloration.
• Aging: As we age, enamel naturally wears down, exposing the yellowish dentin beneath.
• Medications: Certain medications, such as antibiotics, can cause intrinsic stains that are harder to remove.
• Poor Oral Hygiene: Inadequate brushing and flossing allow plaque and tartar buildup, leading to discoloration.

Professional vs. Over-the-Counter Whitening

While drugstore whitening strips and toothpaste promise brighter teeth, they often provide limited results. Professional whitening treatments from a dentist offer several advantages:

• Faster and More Effective: Professional whitening delivers noticeable results in a single visit.
• Customized Treatment: Our Waterford Dental Team tailors whitening treatments to your needs, ensuring even results.
• Long-Lasting Effects: Professional treatments provide longer-lasting brightness compared to store-bought alternatives.
• Safe for Your Teeth: Overuse of OTC whitening products can lead to sensitivity and enamel damage, while professional treatments are carefully monitored.

Does Dental Insurance Cover Teeth Whitening?

Most dental insurance plans, including Delta Dental, do not cover cosmetic procedures like teeth whitening. However, we offer affordable whitening options and financing plans to make your dream smile a reality.
