Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening for Bountiful, Woods Cross, North Salt Lake, Centerville, Farmington, Salt Lake City, Kaysville, Utah

When it comes to your appearance, few things are as noticeable as yellow or dingy colored teeth. The whiteness and brightness of your teeth give your smile a vibrant and attractive appearance. That’s why Teeth whitening is one of the most commonly requested cosmetic dentistry treatments. It is the most cost effective method for making your smile beautiful and attractive.

As we As we age, our teeth lose their whiteness and luster. Discoloration can become visible in our late 20s and early 30s. A number of factors can accelerate this discoloration:

  • Smoking
  • Dark drinks (coffee, black tea, red wine,
     and cola drinks)
  • Minerals in drinking water
  • Hereditary predisposition to early yellowing
  • Onset of gum and tooth disease

How white can my teeth become?

How white your teeth can become depends partly on what caused their discoloration. Some antibiotic drugs can cause virtually permanent discoloration to the teeth. Heredity can also limit how white your teeth can ultimately become.

Do it yourself methods

Millcreek Family Dental offers you a "take home" teeth whitening option, which includes bleach trays that are custom made for your teeth to give you the best in-home teeth whitening results.  This in-home procedure is superior to the generic tooth trays included in the products you can purchase from Drugstores and grocery stores. And the whitening gel contained in these kits is typically not as strong as that used by dentists, and is therefore less effective.

Whitening toothpaste rarely yields noticeable results because the teeth whitening agent in the toothpaste simply doesn’t stay in contact with the teeth long enough to make an appreciable improvement in the whiteness of the teeth.

In-office teeth whitening for the very best results

If you are looking for the very best teeth whitening results, you must receive the in-office whitening treatment that Millcreek Family Dental provides. We use the very effective ZOOM!® teeth whitening process and use a custom-fitting tray that fits thoroughly and snugly against your teeth. A custom-fitted tray increases the length of time and thoroughness of the whitening gel’s contact with your teeth. This, along with a stronger whitening gel than you can purchase in a store, guarantees that your teeth whitening experience is superior to any treatment you can do in your home.

The ZOOM!® tooth whitening system also uses a special light to activate and speed the tooth whitening action of the gel. In a little over an hour, your teeth can become up to 6 shades whiter!
