Teeth whitening helps you get the brilliant white smile that you’ve always dreamed of. Whether it’s through our habits, age or just the environment, teeth eventually dull. Whitening is a safe and healthy way of restoring their youthful shine and brightening your day. Bring your bright white smile back for the summer in Traverse City with a visit to Rose Street Dental.

How do you whiten teeth?

When you put something into your mouth – like food – a layer of material begins to accumulate over the tooth. Much of this can be wiped away with a simple brush, and more of it is removed during your routine cleaning. But over years, there may still be some accumulation. This causes discoloration, and is a main reason people look for teeth whitening services. As the layer builds, it can enter the enamel. At this point, teeth whitening requires a stronger solution than the “whitening toothpaste” available at your local grocery store.

Whiteners enter the enamel of the teeth and cause a reaction that removes the staining agents, for lasting whiteness.

Types of Teeth Whitening

There are many options for teeth whitening. In our office, we have teeth whitening trays for interested patients.

You may also be interested in at-home whitening, which can take longer, but produce similar results.

The only limitation on whitening is budget and time.
