Straighten Your Teeth Without Anyone Knowing
Do you want to straighten your teeth, but you’re not a fan of metal braces? If you’re looking to straighten your teeth without anyone knowing, read on. We’ve got the solution for you.
Did you know the most common desire for improving your smile is to have whiter teeth? At Nataly Vilderman, DDS in San Francisco, California, our professional dental team has the expertise to whiten your teeth and keep them that way.
Several factors can cause your teeth to lose their whiteness, including:
Coffee, tea, and red wine can easily stain your teeth. Dark sauces and foods like chocolate and berries can also darken your teeth or turn them yellow.
Tobacco products stain your teeth because the tar in them is dark and when nicotine mixes with oxygen, it turns yellow, which can stay on the surface of your teeth.
Certain medications can take a toll on the color of your teeth. Talk to our team about which ones you take that might cause this issue.
Your teeth have a soft, yellow-like substance underneath your teeth’s white shell called dentin. As you get older, your outer layer starts to thin out, exposing more of the dentin.
If you experience an injury to your mouth, your teeth might react by producing a darker layer of dentin under your enamel.
During your teeth whitening procedure with our team, we target the porous enamel of your teeth with a high-grade, professional bleaching agent in the form of a gel.
In some cases, bleaching your teeth can cause minor side effects, including:
If the bleach gets on your gums, you might notice some temporary swelling or inflammation. During your professional treatment with our team, we take extra precautions to protect your gum tissue by using a protective gel that shields it.
The ingredients in the teeth whitening gel can cause the pulp in your teeth to swell, which can cause sensitivity, but it doesn’t last long. You can reduce the sensitivity by using special kinds of toothpaste for sensitive teeth, or if you’re whitening them at home, then try wearing your trays for a shorter period of time.
Different materials are used for dental restorations, which determines how they’re affected. When we examine your teeth, we work with you to give you the best option.
To schedule your professional teeth whitening with our practice, contact us today by calling your preferred location in San Francisco, or book your appointment online. You can also send our team a message with any questions.
