About teeth whitening
Annapolis Dental Care offers teeth whitening. A dental evaluation helps determine whether whitening is suitable for the cause of your discoloration.
Identify the cause of discoloration
Tooth color can be affected by several factors. Your dentist examines your teeth and restorations before recommending a whitening approach.
Set realistic expectations
Results vary by the starting shade and the type of discoloration. Crowns, fillings, and other restorations do not whiten in the same way as natural teeth.
Discuss sensitivity and care
Tell your dentist if you have sensitive teeth. Ask about the recommended method, instructions, and maintenance for your situation.
Your questions, answered
Will whitening change the color of my crowns?
Whitening does not change restorative materials in the same way as natural teeth. Your dentist can help plan around existing restorations.
Can I whiten sensitive teeth?
Ask your dentist before starting. An examination helps identify the cause of sensitivity and an appropriate approach.
