If your teeth are stained or discoloured, you may not feel like showing off your smile. Unfortunately, many factors can cause your teeth to lose their lustre. That’s why our dental clinic offers professional teeth whitening as a cosmetic option, but which method is the best? Keep reading to learn more about brightening your smile with cosmetic dentistry from BMB Dental Clinic.

What Causes Teeth Stains?

Your teeth can become discoloured for a variety of reasons, including:

  • Red wine, coffee, tea or other dark drinks
  • Red sauces, dark berries and other dark foods
  • Smoking
  • Aging
  • Certain medications
  • Poor oral hygiene

Choosing the Best Teeth Whitening Approach

Determining which type of teeth whitening treatment is best for you is a conversation you should have with your dentist. It’s essential to avoid store-bought whitening systems, as they can harm your teeth and gums and provide inadequate results. These products can be abrasive and cause sensitivity issues.

At BMB Dental Clinic, we offer the following whitening options to our patients:

Zoom! in-office whitening — This whitening system can make your teeth several shades lighter. We use a prescription-strength whitening gel and a special light for faster results. In about two hours, you will leave our clinic with a smile you can’t wait to show the world. We can also create custom whitening trays for you to use at home to maintain your results.

Take-home whitening — For those who prefer the convenience of whitening their teeth at home on their schedule, we have the perfect solution. We can advise you on using the custom whitening trays and gel to get the dazzling smile you want while you relax or work at home. We're just a phone call away if you have any questions about the process.
