While a healthy tooth is obviously the most ideal, it’s very likely at some time in all of our lives we will need a filling (or two). A filling is required with a tooth has some decay. It is important to have regular check ups at your dentist and not just go when you are in pain or when there is a more serious problem.

Fillings will last you several years before needing to be replace, however, they are under constant stress from chewing and those to clench or grid their teeth are putting even more stress and wear on the fillings, meaning they may need to be replaced sooner.

ZOOM Whitening San Diego

Teeth stains are caused by numerous reasons, including but not limited to, smoking, drinking coffee, sugary drinks and foods and the list goes on and on. Having stains on your teeth does not necessarily mean you have not taken good care of your teeth; sometimes it is unavoidable over time. ZOOM teeth whitening is a cosmetic dentistry procedure, performed in one of two ways. It can either be done in office, or at home. It is designed to remove stains and discoloration that have been caused by years of use.

The level of whiteness resulting from teeth whitening, or teeth bleaching, is dependent on the level of discoloration of your teeth. Overall, you can expect to see noticeable differences of at least 2-3 shades whiter, and sometimes more than that, closer to 5 or 6 shades lighter. This is a great way to enhance your smile, with noticeable difference, that can appear 100% natural. Contact our office today to schedule your consultation!
