Teeth Whitening
Yes! We offer in-office whitening, and you will leave the office to dazzle your friends and family. All in an hour! After your appointment you do not need to come back to the office, and your smile will be brighter!
Sometimes, a simple teeth whitening procedure is all it takes to put the sparkle back into your smile.
If your staining or discoloration is resistant to whitening, however, we have other ways of improving the appearance of your teeth using cosmetic dentistry procedures such as veneers, bonding, or porcelain crowns.
Call us to find out which of our services is right for you.
Not necessarily. Yellow teeth can be completely healthy. Natural tooth color varies from person to person, and teeth often become more yellow over time as enamel becomes thinner and the naturally yellowish dentin underneath becomes more visible.
Yellowing can also be caused by coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco, certain foods, medications, and normal aging. However, a noticeable change in the color of one tooth or new discoloration can sometimes indicate decay, trauma, or another dental problem.
At Harte Dental in Milton, MA, we can evaluate tooth discoloration to determine whether it is simply cosmetic or related to your oral health. If your teeth are healthy but you'd like a brighter smile, we can also discuss professional teeth-whitening and cosmetic dentistry options.
