Who Is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?

Dental stains can be extrinsic, meaning located on the surface of the tooth, or intrinsic, meaning located within the enamel, and they can be caused by genetic factors, tobacco use, or frequent exposure to richly colored items such as coffee, tea, cola, red wine, berries, candy, and dark sauces. Teeth whitening kits from Hill Dental Wellness can be an excellent way for virtually anyone with stubborn yellowing, stains, or discoloration in their smile as long as they are free from oral infections like cavities and gum disease. If a patient isn’t ready for whitening yet, we can usually address these issues with restorative treatments in our office so they can receive the treatment later.

How Does Teeth Whitening Work?

While you can find teeth whitening products at your local store or pharmacy, these can lead to lackluster results or even injuries due to user error or poor manufacturing. At Hill Dental Wellness, we offer powerful Venus White at-home teeth whitening kits that can reliably deliver incredible results.

Take-Home Teeth Whitening

A Venus White at-home teeth whitening kit includes a tube of professional-grade concentrated whitening gel and customized dental trays designed to keep the bleaching agent away from your gum tissue. You’ll only need to apply the gel to the trays and wear them over your teeth for about an hour daily for two weeks to lift stubborn stains and brighten your smile by up to eight shades.
