24th Street Dental Biltmore

Is there anything I can do to prevent stains?

There there are beverages such as tea, soda, and juice that can dry out our mouths; and there are also stain-makers to watch out for: grape or cranberry juice, red or white wine, soy sauce, beets, blueberries and tomato sauce to name a few. It’s best to follow up this consumption with rinsing your mouth or brushing your teeth. Routine dental cleanings can also go a long way.

However, if your teeth are already stained, or you’ve suffered from poor enamel due to genetics or medication side effects, know that there are solutions at 24th Street Dental Biltmore that can really transform your smile.

The Teeth Whitening Procedure

The process is pretty simple, and you’ll be pleased to know that the majority of the whitening takes place in the comfort of your own home.

We start by taking a mold of your mouth so that the lab can customize trays for you; this ensures an even and accurate fit. It’s often overlooked that in order to obtain professional teeth whitening in Phoenix, you need to seek professionals! This is what sets us apart from those “discount” home whitening kits you can buy at a drugstore.

After the initial visit to take the molds, you will return for a second visit for a fitting of your new trays, and once you and your cosmetic dentist are satisfied you will be given medical-grade whitening bleach to take home. How long you wear them will be up to your dentist.

How long will teeth whitening last?

Whitened teeth will eventually stain again, so it’s imperative to practice good oral hygiene to keep your mouth healthy. Check out porcelain veneers if you want “unstainable” teeth! However, your teeth whitening in Phoenix can last up to 3 years.

While it is not permanent, good oral care with regular brushing and flossing and avoiding foods and drinks that can stain the teeth will help. Additionally, regular dental cleanings at your dentist will keep you bright and smiling.
