1. Am I a good candidate for teeth whitening?
A: Were your teeth whiter when you were younger, but are yellow now? Are your front teeth healthy, without bonded veneers or caps? If you answer "yes" to these questions, you're an excellent candidate for whiter teeth.
2. What causes teeth to yellow and discolor? A: Most stains come with time and are caused by the use of tobacco, coffee, tea, and other agents. Some discoloration can be caused by antibiotics, such as tetracycline, or fluorosis (too much fluoride in the diet).
3. How will it improve the color of my teeth?
A: The tooth whitening treatment will not only make the teeth more white, but will give them an overall luster. The improvement in whiteness will depend on a number of factors - your dentist will explain more.
