Teeth Whitening
A luminous smile can be a game-changer. It's often the first thing people notice: a non-verbal communicator that can brighten a room and leave lasting impressions. At Skyway Dental Clinic, located in the heart of Downtown Minneapolis, we understand the transformative power of a bright smile.
If you are struggling with stained, discolored, or yellow teeth, our professional teeth whitening services offer not just a change in shade but a renewed sense of confidence in your daily interactions.
How Teeth Whitening Works
Teeth whitening is a simple yet impactful cosmetic dental procedure designed to lighten teeth and help remove stains and discoloration. It works by applying a whitening agent that breaks down stains, which can result in teeth being several shades brighter.
Our patients at Skyway Dental are often amazed by the significant difference it makes to their smile and confidence!
Why Your Teeth Discolor
Over time, teeth naturally discolor for several reasons:
- Consuming coffee, tea, wine, and other stain-inducing beverages and foods
- Tobacco use, whether smoking or chewing
- Age, as the enamel wears down, revealing the yellowish dentin beneath
- Medications and medical treatments that can alter tooth color
- Genetics that determine the natural coloration of your teeth
Is Teeth Whitening Safe?
Yes, teeth whitening is a safe procedure when performed by a dental professional. At our Downtown Minneapolis dental office, safety is paramount. Professional whitening offers several advantages over store-bought kits:
- Custom trays are tailored for your mouth, ensuring even coverage and reducing gum irritation.
- Professional-grade whitening agents are stronger and more effective.
- The support of our dental team allows for controlled, safe application and immediate assistance for any concerns.
