Teeth Whitening in Mississauga, ON
Brighten Your Smile with Professional Teeth Whitening
Teeth naturally become darker or stained over time due to foods, beverages, tobacco, aging and other factors.
Cracovia Dental in Mississauga offers professional teeth whitening options for suitable patients who want to improve the brightness of their smile.
Why Do Teeth Become Stained?
Common contributors include:
- Coffee
- Tea
- Red wine
- Certain foods
- Tobacco use
- Natural aging
- Some medications
- Changes within the tooth
Because not every type of discolouration responds equally to whitening, a dental assessment is recommended first.
Professional Teeth Whitening
Professional whitening uses dental whitening agents to help reduce certain stains and lighten natural tooth colour.
Your dentist can assess your teeth and gums before treatment and discuss realistic expectations based on the type of discolouration present.
Is Teeth Whitening Right for Everyone?
No. Whitening may not be appropriate for every patient.
Existing cavities, gum concerns or sensitivity may need to be addressed first. Crowns, veneers, fillings and other restorations also do not whiten like natural tooth enamel.
Maintaining Your Results
To help maintain your smile:
- Brush and floss regularly
- Attend routine dental appointments
- Limit frequent exposure to strongly staining foods and beverages
- Avoid tobacco
- Follow your dentist’s whitening instructions
