Brighten Your Smile: What You Should Know About Teeth Whitening
A brighter smile can boost your confidence and leave a lasting impression. At Corwin Family Dentistry, we understand how important it is to feel great about your smile—and one of the most popular ways to enhance it is through professional teeth whitening.
Why Do Teeth Become Stained?
Over time, teeth can lose their natural whiteness due to:
Everyday habits like drinking coffee, tea, red wine, or soda
Tobacco use
Certain medications
Aging, which causes the enamel to thin, revealing more of the yellowish dentin beneath
Even with great brushing and flossing habits, discoloration can still happen—which is where whitening treatments come in.
What Are My Whitening Options?
There are two main types of teeth whitening: professional whitening and over-the-counter products.
Over-the-counter whitening strips or toothpaste can help a little, but results are often limited and can take weeks to notice.
Professional whitening at Corwin Family Dentistry offers stronger, faster, and more effective results with the added safety of dentist supervision.
Whether you choose in-office whitening for instant results or a custom take-home kit, we’ll help you find the best option for your smile.
Is Teeth Whitening Safe?
Yes, when done under a dentist’s supervision, teeth whitening is safe and effective. We’ll assess your oral health first to ensure you’re a good candidate. Some people may experience temporary tooth sensitivity, but this usually goes away within a few days.
How Long Do Results Last?
With good oral hygiene and smart habits—like cutting back on stain-causing foods and drinks—your whiter smile can last for months or even longer. We’re always happy to recommend touch-up treatments when needed.
