Has your smile become lackluster? At Summerville Dentistry in Augusta and Evans, GA, professional teeth whitening turns back the clock, removing deeply embedded enamel stains. Led by Dr. Scott Wingard and Dr. Caleb Morris, read on to learn how we can rejuvenate your smile with this simple cosmetic treatment.
The story of dental stains
To the naked eye, tooth enamel looks smooth as ice. Up close, however, it's obvious that enamel is really a tightly interwoven network of calcified strands. Additionally, your tooth surfaces have microscopic cracks and crevices, both of which catch and hold the organic material that you consume. Add aging, poor oral hygiene, smoking, and coffee consumption, and you have a recipe for a dull, yellow smile.
Choose professional teeth whitening
In their Augusta and Evans, GA, offices, Drs. Wingard and Dr. Morris deliver professional teeth whitening to older teen and adult patients who have healthy teeth and gums as vetted by an oral exam. This exam ensures the procedure is safe and will achieve the results you desire.
How does this treatment work? First, you'll receive a professional cleaning with your hygienist. Then, your dentist will place a protective dam in your mouth to protect your lips and other oral tissues. Next, a powerful hydrogen peroxide gel is applied to all of your tooth surfaces. As it seeps in, the gel removes the embedded organic matter so that your dentist can rinse it away.
In general, teeth whitening can improve enamel color by eight shades or color or even more!
