HOW TO MAKE OVER YOUR TEETH’S NATURAL COLOR A Little White Lie
White teeth are a classic symbol of beauty, but as we go through life, our teeth are prone to becoming duller and yellower. It can reduce self-confidence and even make some people reluctant to smile. Luckily, you don’t have to live with tooth discoloration, and reversing the hands of time is easier than you think. Tooth discoloration is an effect of the many things we consume daily. Smoking and drinking coffee, tea, and red wine are the most prone to causing yellow stains on our teeth, but a surprising number of other foods also do their part. Any dark-colored foods — from chocolate to spaghetti sauce — have the potential to discolor our teeth. But celebrities aren’t denying themselves these indulgences — they’re receiving professional teeth whitening services. Teeth whitening requires peroxide, which separates the stains from your enamel and leaves behind whiter teeth. But to ensure consumer safety, retail teeth whitening kits limit the amount of peroxide used. As a result, an over- the-counter at-home kit won’t produce the impressive results you can achieve in a dentist’s office. Ustick Dental uses Guided Light Optics (GLO) technology to provide the smile of your dreams. GLO applies heat acceleration to the peroxide whitening gel, which speeds up the process. Best of all, it does so without the sensitivity many people associate with teeth
whitening. The one-time treatment will also take barely any time out of your day — it lasts only 30 minutes.
If you’re more comfortable with at-home treatments, our office also offers take-home GLO teeth whitening kits. Patients receive a warming mouthpiece with whitening gel and instructions. Over five days, the treatment has been proven to whiten teeth by five shades. At-home applications should be completed three times per day for eight minutes, with each treatment lasting five days total. If the color of your teeth makes you grimace, find out what one of our whitening treatments can do for you.
