Teeth Whitening
Hillsboro, OR


Close up comparison of before and after teeth whitening treatment on a Black man's smileWhitening is the process of lightening your teeth to help them appear brighter and whiter. Maintaining proper oral hygiene is crucial to maintaining the self-assured appearance that everyone desires. When bleaches like sodium peroxide or carbamide peroxide are used in whitening procedures, the process is quick and painless. Stains are fragmented into smaller particles, which causes the color to fade and the teeth to whiten. Our dental experts at Cornell Dental use the most advanced techniques to make your teeth appear more appealing, dazzling, and white.

What Causes Teeth to Change Color?


A variety of foods and drinks, such as coffee, red wine, and tea, contain significant color pigment chromogens that attach to the tooth's external white zone, causing teeth to change color from white to dull. After being struck in the mouth, damage leads teeth to turn black, which changes color in response to an injury, revealing the dentine. Still, teeth darken as one gets older whereby the enamel thins and uncovers dentin, a dark layer beneath it.

Tobacco smoking is a major cause of stains in teeth as it includes black tar and nicotine, which turn yellow when exposed to oxygen and form stains on the teeth. Antihistamines, blood pressure medications, and antipsychotics are among the medications that might cause teeth to darken.

What are the Different Options for Whitening?


It is imperative to discuss options with your dentist before beginning the procedure.

Whitening Toothpaste


There's whitening toothpaste that eliminates stains, scrapes the teeth with mild abrasives, and polishes the teeth with extra polishing chemicals to make them shine. This toothpaste does not change your tooth color, but it does remove stains from the enamel.

In Office Bleaching


In-office bleaching is a dental treatment in which the dentist applies a protective gel to the gums before whitening the teeth. The dentist will guarantee that preventive steps are implemented and that no chemicals will harm your mouth or put you in danger during the procedure.

Take Home Whitening Trays


Dentists will tell you how and where to apply a whitening product to the tray and how long to leave it on for. The treatment is meticulously carried out and may take several weeks to complete. Communicate with your doctor before using any bleaches to determine the best bleaching agents for your teeth.

Important Points to Note if You Require Whitening


Teeth whitening does not function on all teeth, which is due to the fact that some teeth darken as a result of medicine or a dental accident. You must discuss the whitening procedure with your dentist. If you have yellow teeth, they may bleach much more easily; however, gray teeth are unlikely to do so. The doctor will advise you on what to do, and you should consult with him or her before beginning the whitening procedure.
