Teeth can become discolored for many reasons. The most common reasons are food and drinks and tobacco use. Coffee, tea, wines, and colas top the list of beverages that stain teeth. The food culprits are starches such as potatoes and pasta. We're not going to stop eating and drinking, so there must be a different way to fix the problem. But these aren't the only causes for teeth staining.
Many over-the-counter (OTC) products are available that claim to whiten your teeth. They include toothpaste, mouth rinses, unwieldy strips, and generic, ill-fitting trays. These products range in price from a low $20 to hundreds, and your results may vary depending on the cause and degree of your discoloration.
Talk to the professionals at Diamond Dental Spa. We offer a couple of options to fit your lifestyle and your budget.
At our location in Woodland Hills, we offer the best in-class teeth whitening technology. The treatment takes about an hour and you will see noticeable results immediately after treatment. On occasion, we may recommend a combination of in-office and at-home whitening to achieve the best results.
Diamond Dental Spa can offer solutions if you are not satisfied with your teeth. We use top-quality products with predictable results.
Diamond Dental Spa offers a custom tray system that you can use at home. The trays are molded to fit snugly over your teeth. When you apply the whitening gel, the custom trays allow the gel to spread evenly across the surface of your teeth. The at-home whitening system we recommend is a high-quality formulation. The professional-strength gel results in a more uniform whitening action than you will achieve using OTC products.
The at-home whitening system will fit neatly into your busy lifestyle with products you can trust from Diamond Dental Spa. This system does require self-discipline and proper use to be effective. The initial treatment may require daily application for two to three weeks, depending on your desired outcome. After the initial whitening, you may use the tray for periodic touch-ups with a refillable gel available at our office.
Beware of knock-off products -- ask about our at-home teeth-whitening system.
Some people report sensitivity following a whitening treatment. Your comfort is a primary concern for us, and we have specific strategies to reduce your sensitivity. We will customize treatment methods and products to keep your teeth whitening experience comfortable and safe.
Using professional-grade tooth whitening systems provides a more predictable and satisfactory result. Although the initial cost might seem high, it is comparable to the dozens of OTC kits you would spend money on over a period of time. The results are quicker and last longer when compared to OTC product results.
We are in control of our oral health. With that in mind, we do have some control over the things that contribute to staining and tooth discoloration. Proper dental hygiene is your best defense. Use fluoride toothpaste, brush at least twice daily, and floss daily. Don't skip dental check-ups for routine cleanings.
Eating a healthy, well-balanced diet will also reduce staining. Avoid foods and drinks that contribute to staining, such as tea, coffee, wine, and dark soda. Foods with acids, such as citrus fruits and tomato-based products, can deteriorate tooth enamel and increase staining. You can discuss other recommended food choices with the knowledgeable staff at Diamond Dental Spa.
