Teeth whitening may be for you if you have teeth that are very stained, or certain teeth that are darker than others. Getting a bright smile can be as simple as a visit with Dr. Todd Johnson at Johnson Dental in Onalaska, WI. Let’s look at some of the reasons why brightening your teeth may work for you.

Get whiter teeth at home. 

While there are many at-home tooth whitening products available without a prescription or a specialists’ supervision, a visit to the dentist can be the most effective way to get a whiter smile.

Some of the procedures the dentist uses involve LED light or heat to activate the solution applied to teeth. Your dentist can also offer methods to take home and whiten your teeth yourself, too.

How many shades whiter can I get my teeth? 

Most people who whiten their teeth can get their teeth 5-8 shades whiter than the color they are now. Those of us that have crowns, veneers, and other dental work may not see the same results as those with natural teeth.

But why would you want to whiten your teeth at all? Some of the reasons include:

• Aging (teeth darken as you get older)
• Lifestyle habits, such as smoking or overconsumption of foods and beverages like coffee and chocolate
• Naturally darker teeth from birth
• Nutritional deficiencies

Whitening your teeth is a simple solution. 

Tooth whitening is an easy, affordable way to improve your appearance, enhance your smile, and increase your happiness. Brighter teeth help to diminish the severity of fine lines and wrinkles and other blemishes.

Whitening your teeth can be what you need to smile with confidence. Explore why tooth whitening may be right for you with Dr. Johnson in Onalaska, WI. Contact Johnson Dental at 608-788-3852 to schedule your appointment today.
