Why Do Teeth Become Stained?
Teeth discoloration can occur due to various factors, affecting the aesthetics of your smile:
- Dietary Habits: Beverages like coffee, tea, and red wine, and certain foods can stain teeth over time.
- Tobacco Use: Smoking or chewing tobacco significantly contributes to teeth staining.
- Age-Rrlated Changes: As we age, the outer enamel layer thins, revealing the naturally yellower dentin.
- Medications and Health Factors: Certain medications, trauma, or health conditions can lead to tooth discoloration.
Professional vs. Over-the-Counter Teeth Whitening
While there are many over-the-counter whitening options, professional teeth whitening offers distinct advantages:
- Effectiveness: Professional whitening provides more significant, longer-lasting results.
- Safety: Administered by dental professionals, ensuring safe application and monitoring.
- Customization: Treatments are tailored to individual needs and tooth sensitivity levels.

Will teeth whitening cause sensitivity?
Some patients may experience temporary sensitivity. Opalescence products contain ingredients to minimize sensitivity, and Dr. Darley can further customize treatment to your comfort.
Can I whiten my teeth if I have restorations like crowns or veneers?
Whitening treatments do not affect the color of restorations. Dr. Darley will discuss how to achieve a uniform appearance.
How do I maintain my white smile after treatment?
Avoid stain-causing foods and drinks, maintain good oral hygiene, and consider periodic touch-up treatments.
How often can I undergo professional teeth whitening?
The frequency of whitening treatments varies per individual. Dr. Darley will recommend a schedule based on your oral health and aesthetic goals, usually suggesting a professional whitening session once or twice a year.
Is professional teeth whitening suitable for everyone?
Most adults can benefit from professional teeth whitening. However, it's not recommended for pregnant or nursing women, children under a certain age, or individuals with certain dental conditions. Dr. Darley will evaluate your suitability during your consultation.
Does professional teeth whitening work on all types of stains?
Professional whitening is effective on most extrinsic stains (surface stains). However, intrinsic stains (within the tooth structure) may not respond as well. Dr. Darley will assess the type of staining on your teeth and advise you accordingly.
How do I know if I should choose in-office whitening or a take-home kit?
The choice depends on your lifestyle, the severity of staining, and how quickly you want results. In-office whitening offers immediate results, while take-home kits provide the convenience of whitening at your own pace. Dr. Darley will help you decide the best option for you.
Can teeth whitening damage my enamel?
When conducted under professional supervision, teeth whitening is safe and does not damage the enamel. Opalescence products are specifically designed to be effective and safe for your teeth.
