A whiter smile can make you look younger and more attractive. Studies show that people with whiter teeth are perceived as being healthier and more successful. West Valley Dental offers professional teeth whitening services in Tukwila, Washington, that will help you achieve the beautiful white smile you’ve always wanted.  

 

Why Teeth Whitening is Important

A bright, white smile is the hallmark of good oral hygiene. It’s also an important social asset. In our image-conscious world, having a set of gleaming white teeth can be the difference between making a good first impression and being overlooked. That’s why more and more people are turning to teeth whitening treatments to achieve a brighter smile.

There are several reasons why teeth become stained or yellowed over time. Food and drink are the most common culprits, but smoking can also discolor teeth. As we age, our enamel becomes thinner, allowing the underlying layer of dentin to show through. Dentin is yellow in color, making teeth look dull and stained.

West Valley Dental offers a Teeth Whitening system for the most effective treatment and dazzling white teeth.

 

What is Teeth Whitening?

We can get you started on the teeth whitening system in our Tukwila office. With the teeth whitening system, we can provide you with customized trays to wear whenever you feel like whitening your teeth. Teeth whitening is a safe and effective way to improve the look of your smile. Talk to Dr. Kuzi Hsue to get started with a teeth whitening treatment plan. 

 

How Long Teeth Whitening Lasts

Many people worry that their teeth whitening results won’t last long. But with the proper aftercare, you can enjoy your brighter smile for months or even years.

The teeth whitening results are typically long-lasting, but they may not be permanent. To help your teeth whitening results last as long as possible, avoid smoking and eating foods and drinks that can stain your teeth, such as coffee, tea, and red wine. It would be best to brush your teeth twice a day and floss daily to remove any plaque or food particles that could cause new stains.

Finally, be sure to see Dr. Hsue for regular cleanings to keep your smile looking its best. With proper care, your teeth whitening results can keep giving you a reason to smile.

Professional vs. Store-Bought Teeth Whitening

Although many over-the-counter teeth whitening products are available, most people opt for professional treatments because the results are worth the cost. Our whitening treatments are safer, faster, and more effective than store-bought solutions. 

 

The Cost of Teeth Whitening

The cost of professional teeth whitening varies depending on the type of treatment chosen and the number of sessions required. Still, we can provide you with accurate cost estimates during your consultation period to help you decide on a treatment option. 

Professionally whitened teeth often last for several years before needing to be touched up, so the initial investment can actually save money in the long run.
