How Do Teeth Become Stained and Discolored?

Your teeth can become dull and discolored for various reasons, including regular consumption of dark-colored foods and drinks, such as coffee, red wine, berries, and tomato-based dishes. Other causes of tooth staining and discoloration include the use of tobacco products, the natural aging process, trauma, or the use of certain medications.

Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dentistry treatment that involves the use of hydrogen or carbamide peroxide gel to break down teeth stains and discoloration, leaving your teeth looking brighter, cleaner, and more radiant.

Over-the-Counter Teeth Whitening Products

There are many over-the-counter (OTC) whitening products, such as strips, gels, trays, DIY kits, and whitening toothpastes, that are often marketed as quick and easy solutions to brighten your smile. While some OTC products can offer some improvement in the appearance of surface stains, they typically contain lower concentrations of whitening agents compared to professional treatments. As a result, results may be subtle and take longer to achieve. Additionally, improper use can lead to tooth sensitivity or uneven whitening.

Your Professional Teeth Whitening Options

For the best and safest results, we recommend undergoing teeth whitening treatments under the care of a dental professional. At Keystone Dentistry, we offer highly effective professional whitening systems that are both safe and tailored to your specific needs.

The following is a look at our teeth whitening options:

In-Office Whitening with GLO: We are pleased to offer the innovative GLO professional in-office whitening system to provide you with immediate, dramatic results. The gentle dual-step process involves placing a powerful teeth whitening gel in a tray designed for speed, safety, and maximum efficiency. The GLO tray gently warms the gel, activating it and enhancing the bleaching process.

The GLO in-office treatment involves several brief, eight-minute applications of professional-strength whitening gel, lifting stubborn stains with no discomfort or sensitivity. Our in-office whitening system can brighten your smile by up to 12 shades in under an hour!

At-Home Whitening Options: If you prefer the convenience of whitening on your own schedule, we are happy to offer two safe and effective at-home systems:

• Opalescence Go: Opalescence Go features pre-filled trays that come ready to use and fit snugly to your teeth, thanks to their innovative UltraFit design. The whitening gel is available in different concentrations for a fully customizable experience and excellent results.
• Custom Whitening Trays: We are also happy to offer custom whitening trays created from impressions of your teeth. Simply apply the whitening gel we provide and wear the trays as instructed, and you should achieve a visibly brighter smile in just a few weeks.
