What is teeth whitening?

Teeth whitening uses FDA approved solutions to transform your smile. When the Gel solutions are applied to your teeth, your enamel absorbs it. The gel oxidizes the discolored molecules within the enamel, making your smile appear brighter and whiter.

At Bloomfield Hills Dental Associates, the team offers in-office teeth whitening with Philips Zoom!. One 2 hour appointment can make your teeth up to eight* shades brighter.

Why do teeth change color?

Teeth typically change color as a result of getting older. The natural aging process causes your enamel to wear down, making the yellow dentin beneath more visible. 

Other contributing factors to yellow or stained teeth include:

• Poor oral hygiene
• Using tobacco
• Eating foods and drinking fluids that are dark

You might also experience yellow or brown teeth if you took a prescription medication that contains tetracycline.
