Teeth Whitening Q&A

Your teeth have three distinct layers — enamel, dentin, and pulp. The surface layer, called enamel, is strong and naturally white, but it is also susceptible to acids and staining. The second layer, called dentin, is softer and has a yellowish color. Changes in enamel and dentin can cause teeth to appear yellow, brown, or other colors over time.

Teeth whitening is a popular cosmetic procedure that erases many common stains to give you whiter teeth. Most whitening treatments use a peroxide-based solution to remove stains, sometimes with light or heat.

The two main types of teeth whitening are in-office procedures and at-home whitening kits. If you want to brighten your smile significantly, in-office whitening uses more powerful lightening agents to transform your smile.

Discoloration can affect the tooth’s enamel, dentin, or both. Enamel discoloration is often the result of staining. Dark-colored foods and beverages like coffee and tea can stain teeth. Acidic foods like tomatoes can wear away the enamel. Smoking also causes the enamel to become yellow.

Changes in dentin can also cause teeth to discolor. Common causes of this type of discoloration include certain antibiotics or other medications and trauma to the tooth.

Sometimes, tooth discoloration is a combination of internal and external factors. Many people find that enamel gets thinner over the years, and the yellow coloration of the dentin begins to show through. This type of yellowing is known as age-related discoloration.

Pine Center Dental Group offers a variety of teeth whitening options to help patients achieve their smile goals. When you visit the office for teeth whitening, you and your dentist discuss your treatment goals to determine which whitening service will help you get a smile you love.

Your options will vary based on the condition of your teeth, the results you hope to achieve, and other factors like tooth sensitivity. Once you and your dentist discuss where you’re at, you’ll be able to select the optimal teeth whitening treatment.
