Dr. Gordon Krueger offers his patients in St. Petersburg, FL, teeth whitening services that will give them a whiter, brighter smile as well as the self-confidence they may lack. Teeth can easily become discolored or stained. They don't have to stay that way though. You have several options to choose from. There are many home kits that you can purchase from your local drug store or department store. You can also go to your dentist to have your teeth whitened professionally.
Common Causes of Teeth Discoloration
Your teeth can become stained or discolored in a variety of ways. Tobacco, cigarettes, and cigars are some of the most common causes of stained teeth. Wine and coffee are also well-known for causing stains. Certain medications cause the staining of teeth as a side effect. While some of the more common causes of staining can be corrected with teeth whitening systems, stains that result from medications may not be as easy to correct.
Over-the-Counter Systems vs Professional Teeth Whitening From Dr.Krueger
While many believe that over-the-counter teeth whitening systems are just as good as professional services, the results don't last as long and you will have to perform them more often. There is also a risk of damaging your teeth if you do not perform the procedure correctly. Having your teeth professionally whitened in St. Petersburg, FL, ensures you will get the whitest, brightest teeth possible, without damaging your teeth.
How Long Does a Professional Teeth Whitening Treatment Last?
Unlike over-the-counter teeth whitening systems that produce results that last approximately six weeks to three months, a professional teeth whitening system can produce results that last from six months to as long as three years. This, of course, will depend on the type of procedure used and how well you take care of your teeth between dental visits. Dr. Krueger will show you how to properly care for your teeth once they have been whitened.
