Teeth Whitening in Manhattan | Teeth Whitening NYC

"My smile is very important to me. I never really had huge issues with my teeth but I did have some spacing that I was not happy with. Deciding to get invisalign was one of the best decisions I've ever made. The hard part was finding a facility that would tend to my needs and make me feel at home. I researched for quite some time before actually picking a place, but I finally ended up choosing Luxury Dentistry.”

What causes tooth discoloration?

Tooth discoloration can be caused by a number of factors. If your parents have yellowish colored teeth, it is possible that your teeth will eventually become yellow as you age, as tooth color is linked to hereditary factors. Additionally, many everyday substances and lifestyle choices can alter the natural color of our teeth. Childhood intake of certain antibiotics and excessive fluoride exposure can result in stains on the teeth. Certain medical conditions, traumas, and even dental procedures can lead to discolored teeth. Many foods can stain the teeth, including tea, coffee, wine, blue berries, soy sauce, dark sodas and beers, and many others. Chewing and smoking tobacco is known to cause stains and darkening. Poor dental hygiene will contribute to discoloration, as the buildup of plaque and tartar make it easier for stains to accumulate on the surface of the teeth. Additionally, some supplements and prescription medications can lead to discoloration. On top of all of these factors, teeth simply tend to darken as we age.

What color should my teeth be?

Some individuals have naturally very light or whiter shades of teeth. Other people have a naturally occurring yellowish tint to their teeth. In order to achieve the best cosmetic results in teeth whitening, it is important to be able to determine the original natural color of the teeth. It is also important to understand the cause of the color change. Only a highly skilled and qualified dentist, like the dentists at Luxury Dentistry NYC, will be able to accurately determine your natural tooth color and diagnose the reason for the change in color, so that a proper whitening treatment plan can be created.

Why should I consider teeth whitening?

In today’s culture, the appearance of our teeth is very important. White, healthy looking teeth are highly valued, and the appearance of your teeth will be judged in all aspects of your life. Whiter teeth will give you the confidence you need to put yourself out there, both professionally and socially. In order to combat the discoloration that comes with age and/or external factors, you should discuss whitening options with your dentist.

What options are available to whiten my teeth?

Thanks to the importance of bright, light-colored teeth in our society, many teeth whitening systems have been developed. These range from over-the-counter toothpastes, rinses, and gels to advanced whitening treatments that are performed in a dental office. After your dentist determines the cause of discoloration, he or she will be able to recommend that best treatment course for you. If stains are only superficial and the discoloration is minimal, an at home treatment may suffice; however, in many cases, an in-office treatment will be the best way to obtain lasting, noticeable results.
