Teeth Whitening in Tribeca
What are the characteristics of an attractive smile? While not every person is born with a perfect smile, qualities such as straightness, cleanliness, or whiteness of teeth may come to mind. Thanks to developments in the field of cosmetic dentistry, people can change the smile they were born with into a smile they love.
Teeth whitening in Tribeca from our cosmetic dentist at Metropolitan Dental Associates PC is one of the easiest and fastest ways to transform your smile.
People notice your smile immediately, and a wonderful smile enhances your appearance. However, keeping our teeth their whitest is a lot harder than it sounds. With all the coffee, wine, smoking, and foods that have the ability to stain our teeth on a daily basis, even proper maintenance sometimes leaves them a little lackluster. Our teeth whitening services are an excellent way to restore the natural, bright color of your teeth.
Teeth whitening in Tribeca can be performed by our cosmetic dentists to reduce discoloration and staining, or simply to provide the patient with whiter, brighter teeth. Tooth whitening works best for people with yellow teeth and is less effective for people with brown teeth. If your teeth are gray or purple, tooth bleaching probably won't work at all, so it best to consult our dental office before having this procedure done. If you are a candidate for teeth whitening, teeth can generally get three to eight shades brighter and it usually only takes several 30- to 60-minute in-office visits. The bleaching solution is usually much stronger than at-home kits. Also, heat, light, or a combination of the two may be used to speed and intensify the whitening process. You can help maintain the results by flossing and brushing daily. Also, avoid acidic and tannin-rich foods and beverages such as black teas and coffee, white and red wine, sports drinks, carbonated beverages, berries, and other strongly-colored foods, as well as certain sauces like soy, tomato, and curries. Tooth bleaching can make teeth temporarily sensitive, or be uncomfortable for people who already have sensitive teeth. So once again, always consult with us first.
Teeth whitening is not a permanent procedure. Results can last for one or more years, depending upon your personal habits. In most cases, the whitening procedure is very effective. At Metropolitan Dental Associates, PC, our goal is to make you feel satisfied with your smile. Having whiter, brighter teeth can make a world of difference, allowing you to eat, talk, laugh, and smile with confidence. If you desire
teeth whitening in Tribeca, then we are exactly the cosmetic dentists you should visit. Please call our office today for the brighter, whiter smile of your dreams.
