What is Bleaching or Teeth Whitening?
Teeth whitening, or tooth bleaching, is a cosmetic
dentistry procedure designed to remove stains
and discoloration, as well as lighten pigmentation
within the teeth. Discoloration can be the result
of genetics, accidents, medication, poor oral
hygiene, aging, smoking, certain foods or a combination
of these factors. Stains can be either on the
surface of the teeth or within the tooth structure.
Dr. Edderai can change all this and give you a
"Hollywood" smile within one hour.
Teeth that are discolored from tetracycline or
excessive fluoride are not good candidates for
bleaching. Whitening techniques can work for tetracycline
staining only if the discoloration is mild. If
there are banded or layered types of staining,
the best that can be expected is simply an overall
lightening of the bands of color. Veneers
are the best solution for these cases. Once you
reach our North Miami Beach dental office, Dr. Edderai will let you know
what the best solution for you is.
