In the past two decades, Teeth Whitening has become the most commonly practiced cosmetic service in dentistry.  Numerous safe, over-the-counter products address this consumer demand, but the best results are always achieved with the professional applications provided by your dentist in our office.

First, the strength and condition of your teeth need to be determined through an exam. Then, before recommending tooth whitening, we need to establish the exact cause of your tooth discoloration. A number of factors can contribute to discoloration, including:

• Tetracycline (antibiotic) staining
• Use of staining substances, such as coffee, tea or tobacco
• Trauma or injury to the teeth
• Pulp (nerve) degeneration
• Restorative materials such as silver and gold
• Genetic and acquired illnesses
• Excessive fluoride
• Aging

Drs. Richard & Shannon Creasman will be happy to consult with you regarding a whiter, brighter smile.
