How a teeth whitening treatment from your dentist in Wichita, KS, can brighten your smile

Do you want to improve your smile? Perhaps you drink too much coffee, or you smoke, both of which leave dark stains on your teeth? Perhaps your smile is showing the signs of aging, growing yellow and dull. It’s time for you to discover the magic of professional teeth whitening, to bring back your dazzling white smile. Dr. John M. Lewis at Wichita Dental Group in Wichita, KS, wants to introduce you to what a teeth whitening treatment can do for you.

There are many factors that can leave your smile looking dark, dull, and dingy. Drinking coffee, tea, or red wine, taking certain antibiotics can all leave their mark on your smile. Using tobacco products can leave you with dark, stubborn stains. Aging makes your enamel thinner, allowing you and others to see the yellow layer underneath, called dentin. That’s why your teeth appear more yellow or darker as you age.

People choose professional teeth whitening because treatment is:

·  Effective; you can whiten your smile up to 5-8 shades and they can remove tough stains from deep layers of your teeth.

·  Long-lasting; your results can last up to 3-5 years (this varies from person to person)

Professional teeth whitening treatments are also safe because the materials are rigorously tested and approved by the American Dental Association. Many over-the-counter products contain harmful abrasives and chemicals that can actually make your teeth and gums sensitive.

Professional teeth whitening is the perfect choice if you have a special event like a reunion, wedding, or other social occasion coming up. It’s also a great idea for an important job interview. Nothing says success like a white, beautiful smile!

Be aware that bleaching treatments may not be effective on all types of discoloration and they will not work on restorations such as fillings, crowns, or veneers. So be sure to give Doctor Lewis and his team a call for a consultation before pursuing any kind of whitening treatments and to make sure you’re a suitable candidate for treatment.

You deserve a smile that gets noticed! For more information about the benefits of teeth whitening and other cosmetic dental services, call Dr. John M. Lewis at Wichita Dental Group in Wichita, KS, today at 316-265-0849 to schedule an appointment!
