The color of your teeth

The natural color of teeth differs person to person. The color can be broadly classified into gray, reddish-gray, reddish-brown and reddish-yellow. Healthy teeth with a thick enamel layer look natural. When the diet of the person involves too much of dark colored fluids such as coffee, tea, cola and wine, the teeth tend to stain. Dark colored fluids can enter the porous enamel and once the porous enamel layer is occupied with these pigments, the teeth look less bright. This process is called staining. The teeth may get discolored by habits like smoking as well.

In other cases, the teeth may look dull because of wearing out of enamel layer, infection of teeth and intrinsic staining. Our dentist performs thorough dental check to let patients know the cause for the discoloration of teeth.

The Process of Teeth Whitening

Any person who wishes to get the teeth brightened can visit our office in Linden NJ to undergo the treatment. Teeth can be brightened as long as they are free from infection and do not carry a dental restoration such as crown. If there is tooth decay or infection, the condition may have to be treated first. We take pictures of teeth and use shade scale to measure the brightness. Teeth whitening starts off with drying of teeth and covering the gums with a protective shield. Hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide have the ability to enter porous enamel layer and clear stain. The whitening agents undergo oxidation in the porous enamel layer. These agents are applied over teeth surface carefully and a special light is shined over them. This accelerates the process of whitening. On completion of the process, patients can see the improvement in color shade of teeth. Our dental team explains patients how to protect the teeth to ensure that the brightness lasts long.
