Teeth Whitening

What are the causes of yellow teeth?

Many factors contribute to teeth yellowing. Age, certain medications, and the foods you eat and drink may all be contributors. The enamel on your teeth can get surface stains from drinks like red wine, tea, and coffee, and this can make your teeth appear yellow. Major culprits also include smoking and tobacco.

Eventually, the surface stains can get even more challenging to get rid of, because they soak deep into the enamel of your tooth to the dentin.

Is it safe to whiten your teeth?

Definitely. Teeth whitening is not harmful if you comply with product directions and guidelines. The team at Dental Arts of Hoboken offers Zoom whitening treatments for safe, effective results. You can choose to have your teeth whitened in just one visit, or gradually with a take-home whitening kit.

The Zoom whitening solution is not dangerous to put in your mouth and on your teeth in either instance. You may experience minor, temporary gum and tooth sensitivity as a result of the bleaching agents.

What can you expect from the Zoom in-office procedure?

A simple Zoom in-office teeth-whitening procedure could make your teeth up to eight shades brighter after just one appointment.* During your visit, a professional Dental Arts of Hoboken team member will fit lower and upper dental trays in your mouth. These trays will contain the hydrogen peroxide whitening gel.

Your dental professional will cover your gums and lips to protect them from the solution. They fill the trays with the bleaching solution and position a specialized bright light over your teeth. You sit back and relax as the bleach and light work together to whiten your teeth for three 15-minute treatments in a single visit.

Between treatments, you wait comfortably, and after the last bleaching treatment, your dental expert applies a gel to your teeth to minimize any post-treatment sensitivity you experience. That’s it. In about two hours, you have whiter teeth and a dazzling smile.

If you'd rather whiten your teeth gradually over the course of a few weeks, ask the Dental Arts of Hoboken for an at-home teeth-whitening kit.
