One of the most common cosmetic concerns that we hear at our Santa Rosa Beach dental offices is worry over dull, discolored, “yellowing” teeth. Fortunately, this is also one of the simplest problems to fix.

Yellowing can be attributed to a number of factors. Staining foods and drinks (like red wine, coffee, chocolate, and curry) are common culprits, and so are tobacco products and home care routines that need improvement. Many people, however, find that their teeth simply become discolored as they age. This is because your enamel tends to become thinner, allowing the yellowish dentin (the layer beneath your enamel) to show through. Genetics also come into play, determining the thickness of your enamel and the shade of your dentin.

You don’t have to put up with it, though. As part of our cosmetic dentistry treatments at Seacrest Dental, we offer professional one-visit whitening treatments as well as at-home teeth bleaching to get your teeth naturally white again and return the sparkle to your smile.

In just one visit, we can dramatically improve the appearance of your smile with an in-office whitening treatment. Our patients are typically amazed and impressed at the results that we are able to achieve.

The process is simple. We start with a cleaning to make sure that your teeth are free of plaque and tartar that could affect your results, and then one of our trained team members will carefully apply the whitening product to your teeth. When the procedure is done, we will compare your new shade to the shade you started with so that you can really see the difference!

Many people who choose in-office whitening have a special event coming up that they want to look their best for, such as a wedding, a reunion, or a job interview. You deserve to feel good about the smile you present to the world, and we’re here to help you get started.

Many of our patients lead busy lives and don’t have time during the day to hang out in the dentist’s chair. This doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t have beautiful, white, healthy-looking teeth, though!

For our patients who would prefer to whiten their teeth on their own time in their own home, we offer take-home kits that can give you gorgeous results far more effectively than a kit you can buy in a drugstore.

Our take-home kits use a customized tray that is designed to comfortably fit your teeth and allow the whitening gel to come into contact with the surfaces of your teeth evenly while avoiding the sensitive tissue of your gums and lips. We’ll choose a strength that is appropriate for your whitening needs, show you how to use the product and answer all of your questions, and be available when you have questions throughout the process.

Whitening at home doesn’t mean you have to compromise on your results.
