How Do You Get Rid of Yellow Teeth?

Your smile is the first thing most people notice, and there’s no concealing less-than-stellar teeth. So, it’s no surprise that tooth whiteners are commonly purchased, and in 2020, 37 million Americans bought tooth whitening products, according to Statista.

But making the correct choice can be a confusing, even frustrating, ordeal with such a huge market. Plus, you can never be sure of a product’s efficiency or the risk of unwanted effects, which may include increased gum or tooth sensitivity.

So, for great results and personalized care, contact us at Byers Station Dental for a consultation and a whitening plan that’s sure to give you the smile of your dreams. If you live near Byers, Ludwigs Corner, Eagle, Lionville, or Exton, PA, we welcome you to visit our office in Chester Springs, PA.

Tooth yellowing is inevitable

It’s one of those unwelcome but unavoidable facts of life: teeth lose their whiteness and accumulate stains, even with the best cleaning efforts. But lifestyle factors, such as that essential cup (or jug) of morning coffee, leave your teeth yellower than desired.

In addition to coffee, often-consumed beverages, like teas, sodas, and red wine, can stain teeth. Drinks that are sugary, acidic, or both are especially staining. Similarly, intensely pigmented foods can also affect your tooth color. These foods include berries and tomato sauces, which are full of color as well as acid. And vibrant spices like paprika and curry can also impart their hues to your teeth.

Numerous medications may also cause discoloration. These include some widely used antibiotics, including tetracycline and doxycycline, and drugs used to treat high blood pressure, depression, psychotic disorders, and even allergies.

Your personalized plan for whiter teeth

We’re excited to offer Opalescence, a proven whitening system customized for you. After a thorough consultation, our dental experts will personalize a whitening plan based on your needs, the status of your teeth, and your dental history. And we’ll take a dental impression in Chester Springs, PA to create custom Opalescence trays that fit snugly over your teeth.

Then, in the comfort of your home, simply apply your gel-filled custom-fitted trays. And relax while the hydrogen peroxide works its magic, whitening your teeth in as few as 15 – 20 minutes per day, with visible results in just 5 – 10 days.

Your personalized Opalescence whitening system also offers a few other perks you’re unlikely to find in other treatments, especially those of the store-bought variety. The time-tested Opalescence formulation contains potassium nitrate for your comfort.

Potassium nitrate absorbs deep into the tooth, traveling through the enamel and dentin and into the pulp chamber, soothing the nerves within to offer you 24-hour comfort. The addition of fluoride also combats sensitivity by strengthening the enamel and boosting the whitening capabilities of hydrogen peroxide.

And while this is considered an aesthetic procedure and is therefore not covered by insurance, we offer multiple, flexible pricing and payment options.
