Is tooth whitening right for you?

Advanced dental techniques now available at Smile Secrets provide consumers with exciting, new options for enhancing their smiles. Revolutionary methods are now available for whitening teeth to make smiles sparkle!

Teeth whitening lightens the color of teeth whether darkened from age, coffee, tea or tobacco. Its brightening effects can last up to five years after the treatment depending on your personal habits, such as smoking or drinking coffee or tea.

Teeth whitening has a higher than 90% success rate. Dr. Chellis uses only whitening that is tough on stains but gentle on your teeth! Results vary depending on several factors such as teeth stained from smoking; from taking certain medications such as tetracycline during tooth development; or from fluorosis, a condition occurring in the presence of too much fluoride.

Whitening will not lighten fillings or artificial materials used in dental repair as for crowns, porcelain veneers, etc. You may want to wait to whiten if you have sensitive teeth, periodontal disease, teeth with worn enamel or if you're pregnant or breast-feeding.
