How Your Lifestyle Affects Your Tooth Color

It’s common for people to want white teeth. But the majority of men and women have discolored or just plain yellow teeth. Especially in a world of tea and coffee drinkers. Teeth whitening from Harris Dental in Phoenix can brighten your smile.

Your Genes Make a Difference

As with other physical aspects, there is a genetic component to your oral health. You can thank your parents if your enamel is thick and durable. If it is resistant to decay, you can thank them again. Even more importantly, you can thank them if they taught you to take care of your teeth.

Like complexions, natural tooth shade varies from person to person. Some of us have whiter teeth naturally. But many people have tarnished teeth due to their lifestyle. Dietary practices and dental hygiene influence tooth color as well as overall oral health.

Lifestyle Habits That Affect Tooth Color

Did you know that your enamel is like your skin? It contains pores that can get clogged and discolored. The most common practices that work against you are:

  1. Tobacco and other smokable substances
  2. Sodas and other dark colored drinks, i.e. coffee, red wines, and teas
  3. Not practicing daily oral hygiene
  4. Not having proper dental care

If you want whiter teeth, these will work against you. We suggest kicking these habits to the curb.

But to get the whitest possible teeth, nothing beats professional teeth whitening from Harris Dental in Phoenix. Patients from Queen Creek, Scottsdale, and Mesa have brightened their smiles with whitening and other cosmetic dentistry. Call our office to schedule an appointment today!

Dull to Dazzling: Teeth Whitening in Phoenix

Beautiful smile Cosmetic Dentistry Perfect smiles Teeth Whitening

Maybe you’ve always wanted a dazzling, movie star smile. Or maybe your teeth have just grown dull with the passage of time. Whatever the reason might be, you’re one of millions of Americans who want to brighten their smiles with teeth whitening, one of our services at Harris Dental in Phoenix.

You’ve got plenty of options. Take a simple stroll down the dental care aisle in the grocery store and you’ll see an almost bewildering selection of teeth whitening products: everything from toothpaste to strips to bleaching trays.

Most of these products can be effective. But toothpastes generally take only the surface stains off of your teeth, and you may be disappointed with the end result. Whitening strips are more effective; they rely on hydrogen peroxide to remove stains. Bleaching trays are also good. But none of them are as strong as professional teeth whitening.

We offer highly effective in-office teeth whitening that can transform your smile in a single visit. We also have take-home kits for those who prefer to whiten their teeth at their convenience. Both deliver great results!

At Harris Dental in Phoenix our patients come from Queen Creek, Scottsdale, and Mesa to improve their smiles with teeth whitening and other cosmetic dentistry services. Schedule an appointment today!

Professional Teeth Whitening In Phoenix

Beautiful smile Cosmetic Dentistry Perfect smiles Teeth Whitening

Professional Teeth Whitening at Harris DentalA sensational smile leaves a lasting impression. Professional teeth whitening from Harris Dental in Phoenix can dramatically improve your appearance and give you a boost in self-confidence.

Our teeth often turn yellow or gray as we age. The things we eat and drink, such as colored sodas, coffee and red wine, contribute to the staining.

Most people know that smoking is not only bad for our lungs, but can also discolor our teeth. There are even some medications that can impact tooth color.

If you are considering having your teeth whitened, you must first choose which method to use. At Harris Dental, we enjoy discussing treatment options with our patients.

At-home whitening treatments usually consist of trays filled with whitening solution. It generally takes 7-14 days to achieve 3-6 shades lighter. Brush-on teeth gels and whitening strips take up to 30 days to achieve results. Whitening toothpaste may lighten superficial stains but often provides no change in the appearance of teeth.

All of the whitening methods may cause tooth pain or sensitivity, but this usually goes away in a few days. If you have crowns, porcelain veneers, or dental bonding, it is essential to speak with your dentist before choosing a whitening method.

At Harris Dental in Phoenix, teeth whitening is just one of the cosmetic dentistry procedures we use to improve smiles. Call us to schedule an appointment today!
