Whitening

Over time, teeth naturally lose their shine. Thanks to innovations in modern dentistry, though, achieving a bright smile is simple with teeth whitening.

At Hoffner Elite Dentistry, it is the priority of our team to offer efficient cosmetic dentistry solutions for our patients. We are proud to offer the patients of Findlay at-home teeth whitening. 

Since we are oral health professionals, the products and whitening treatment we offer are far more effective than over-the-counter options like whitening strips or simply using whitening toothpaste.

Why Do Teeth Get Dull Over Time?

As your mouth matures, teeth can naturally become dull and lose their luster. This is usually due to standard wear and tear associated with chewing, grinding, biting and general aging. 

Additionally, acids and colors of different foods can stain your teeth. For example, if you regularly consume coffee, tea, red wine or artificially dyed foods, your teeth will become stained. Certain medications can also stain teeth over time, and tobacco users are especially prone to dulled teeth. 

Luckily, teeth whitening treatments function as an external stain remover for teeth. However, if you have internal tooth staining from medications, a root canal or decay, our doctor may recommend a different treatment like porcelain veneers.

What Happens During Teeth Whitening?

For patients opting for teeth whitening at home, special trays that fit your mouth and a whitening gel are used. The whitening solution goes into your trays, which then fit securely over your teeth. As you wear the tray, the bleach solution will whiten your teeth. Trays should be worn for at least 30 minutes a day, or overnight.

It’s important to note that teeth whitening is a purely aesthetic procedure and doesn’t contribute to the overall health and wellness of your mouth. Instead, it simply helps you brighten your smile. If you suspect you need more intensive treatment to restore your mouth, call us at 419-424-5850 to discuss our full range of restorative dental treatments.
