Your teeth will inevitably become stained over time. Coffee, curries, and other stain-causing foods and drinks can leave deep stains that you can’t resolve with brushing and flossing. Luckily, professional teeth whitening treatments can resolve them. If you’ve been interested in trying this cosmetic enhancement, consider if the following signs apply to you.

How You’ll Benefit From Teeth Whitening

1. Deep Stains

The tannins in wine and coffee, tar from tobacco smoke, and the deep colors or berry juices can settle below the protective enamel layer on your teeth. Once there, they can cause permanent staining—often yellow- or brown-colored. A professional teeth whitening uses high-powered bleaching agents to resolve these. When your dentist applies this agent, it will permeate teeth surfaces and colorize stained dentin. You can achieve noticeably whiter teeth in as little as an hour.

2. Uneven Coloring

Side effects are rare with professional care. There may be issues with at-home kits since there aren’t customized for your teeth and don’t use professional-grade products. Always opt for an in-office treatment for the best results.

3. Issues With Self-Esteem

Are discolored teeth affecting how you feel about yourself? If so, know that you can quickly revitalize your smile. Teeth whitening will restore natural tooth color so that you can be comfortable showing off your pearly whites. Feel confident on a first date or in a business meeting, speak comfortably with friends, and love the white, radiant smile you see in the mirror.
