Teeth Whitening: What Type Is Best for You?

Does your smile suffer from dulled, discolored or stained teeth? Tired of trying store-bought teeth whitening products that provide no results? At MGS Dental we are proud to offer professional teeth whitening in Tewksbury, MA for our patients that are interested in achieving a brighter, whiter and more healthy-looking smile. Today, we’re going to discuss different teeth whitening treatments and which type might be best for you and your smile.

Teeth Whitening Treatment Candidates

When it comes to teeth whitening, it isn’t exactly magic like some people think. Those with darkened, gray or even prosthetic teeth may not be eligible for treatment. Prosthetic teeth such as crowns, veneers, bridges and even dentures will not react to the chemicals and may even become damaged. Certain discoloration, especially discoloration attributed to severely damaged, infected or decayed teeth may also not be affected by treatment. We recommend a consultation prior to treatment.

Over-The-Counter Teeth Whitening

Have you tried teeth whitening products such as toothpaste, mouthwash or even strips just to be left with no results? Over-the-counter teeth whitening products are actually designed to only remove exterior staining (which can be easily removed with proper dental care), leaving interior staining that most patients are interested in removing. Due to the strength of these products, many patients also over-use them, resulting in tooth sensitivity and even gum irritation/damage.
