Why People Love Zaragoza Family Dental
Why Do Teeth Become Stained?
Teeth can become discolored for various reasons, including:
- Consumption of staining substances like coffee, tea, red wine, and certain fruits and vegetables.
- Tobacco use, which can leave stubborn stains on the teeth.
- Aging, as the enamel thins over time, revealing the naturally yellow dentin beneath.
- Medications and certain medical treatments can also contribute to tooth discoloration.
The Many Benefits of Professional Teeth Whitening
Choosing professional teeth whitening offers numerous advantages over whitening toothpastes and strips.
- Effectiveness: Professional whitening treatments are more potent, providing noticeable results after just one session.
- Safety: Treatments are supervised by dental professionals, ensuring the health of your gums and enamel is preserved.
- Customization: Whitening is tailored to your specific needs and goals, ensuring optimal results.
- Longevity: Professional whitening offers longer-lasting results, especially when coupled with good oral hygiene and regular dental checkups.
Why Choose Professional Whitening Over Over-the-Counter Options?
While over-the-counter whitening kits are accessible, they often fall short in terms of lasting results.
Professional whitening ensures that the treatment is suitable for your teeth, with customized strength and application. This personalization, along with the expertise of dental professionals, makes professional whitening a safer and more effective choice for brightening your smile.

Frequently
Asked Questions
Is teeth whitening safe?
Yes, when performed under the supervision of a dental professional, teeth whitening is a safe and effective way to brighten your smile. We take great care to ensure the health of your gums and enamel throughout the whitening process.
How long does professional teeth whitening last?
The results of professional teeth whitening can last from several months to a few years, depending on lifestyle factors such as diet, oral hygiene, and tobacco use. Regular dental check-ups and touch-up treatments can help maintain your bright smile.
Will teeth whitening work on all types of tooth discoloration?
Teeth whitening is most effective on extrinsic stains (those on the surface of the teeth caused by food, drinks, and tobacco). Intrinsic stains (within the tooth structure) may require alternative cosmetic treatments, such as veneers. During your consultation, Dr. Badwalz will assess your specific situation and recommend the best treatment option for you.
Can teeth whitening damage enamel?
No, professional teeth whitening does not damage the enamel. The whitening agents used in professional treatments are designed to safely penetrate the tooth enamel to lift stains without causing harm to the tooth structure.
Does teeth whitening cause sensitivity?
Some patients may experience temporary sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures after a whitening treatment. This sensitivity is usually mild and subsides within a few days. We provide personalized care and recommendations to minimize discomfort and protect your oral health.
Is teeth whitening suitable for everyone?
Teeth whitening is suitable for most adults who wish to improve the brightness of their smile. However, it may not be recommended for pregnant women, those with severe tooth sensitivity, gum disease, worn enamel, or untreated cavities. Dr. Badwalz will conduct a thorough examination to determine if whitening is right for you.
How can I maintain the results of my teeth whitening treatment?
To maintain your newly whitened smile, it's important to practice good oral hygiene, including regular brushing and flossing. Avoiding stain-causing foods and beverages, as well as tobacco products, can also help prolong the results. Regular dental check-ups and cleanings at Zaragoza Family Dental will keep your smile looking its best.
Can over-the-counter whitening products provide the same results as professional whitening?
While over-the-counter whitening products can produce some improvement, they are generally not as effective as professional treatments. Professional whitening offers higher-concentration bleaching agents and customized application for safer, more dramatic, and longer-lasting results.
