What discoloration does whitening correct?
As you age, teeth naturally darken as enamel wears away, exposing the gray or yellowish dentin beneath. Staining from red wine, tea and coffee compound the discoloration.
Who isn't eligible?
Before whitening, Dr. Shi examines and fills any cavities first. An unfilled cavity would allow the whitening agent to seep in, causing sensitivity or worsening decay.
What to expect
Your teeth are thoroughly cleaned by a hygienist. Then Dr. Shi's gel containing hydrogen peroxide is applied — a specialized whitening agent that is safe but much stronger than over-the-counter products. Visible, lasting whitening without the sensitivity of home kits.
For deep staining whitening can't fix, Dr. Shi may recommend porcelain veneers as a long-term solution.
