Introduction
A bright, white smile can boost your confidence and leave a lasting impression. However, everyday habits like drinking coffee, tea, or wine can stain your teeth over time. If you’re looking to restore your pearly whites, professional teeth whitening at Chestnut Hill Dental is a safe and effective solution.
Causes of Teeth Staining
- Food & Drinks – Coffee, red wine, and dark-colored sodas can cause discoloration.
- Smoking & Tobacco Use – Nicotine and tar stain teeth yellow or brown.
- Aging – Over time, enamel naturally wears down, revealing a yellowish layer underneath.
- Poor Oral Hygiene – Inadequate brushing and flossing can lead to plaque buildup and stains.
Professional vs. Over-the-Counter Whitening
While store-bought whitening kits may seem convenient, they often contain weaker ingredients and may cause uneven results or tooth sensitivity. Professional whitening treatments provide:
✔ Faster and longer-lasting results
✔ Even whitening without patchy spots
✔ Safer procedures with customized treatments
