What causes yellow teeth?
There are many contributing factors that may make cause your teeth to change color, especially as you age. Your teeth change color when the outer protective layer on your teeth is stained. This can cause your teeth to turn various shades of yellow, which may worsen over time.
Things that may discolor your teeth include:
- Coffee and tea
- Red wine
- Smoking
- Chewing tobacco
- Some medications
- Chronic illness
While brushing may help prevent some staining, with constant exposure to staining foods and drinks, stains can permeate deeper into your teeth and become permanent. When this happens, brushing alone won’t get you the white, fresh-looking teeth you’re looking for.
What is professional teeth whitening?
Professional teeth whitening gives you results that are far superior to those you can get using over-the-counter whitening products alone. Using professional grade products, your teeth can safely and effectively become up to five shades* brighter than your natural teeth.
At Wall St Dental Spa, they trust and are proud to offer the GLO™ Whitening system. The Guided Light Optics (GLO) whitening system uses light waves to enhance the effects of a specialized whitening gel, which is applied using a specially designed mouthpiece.
This appliance delivers light generated heat, which speeds up the process of whitening and allows for short eight-minute treatment sessions. This is not only convenient, but decreases the chance for you to develop tooth sensitivity.
What can you expect from the GLO whitening procedure?
During your visit, a Wall St Dental Spa expert takes these simple steps to help you achieve whiter teeth:
- Place a specialized mouth positioner
