Almost every toothpaste claims to whiten teeth, but as we age our teeth gradually turn yellow or gray, despite all the whitening toothpastes we use regularly. Tooth enamel, while one of the hardest substances in the body, is porous. Over time, the food and drinks that come in contact with our teeth cause staining and discoloration. You probably have already discovered that a toothbrush cannot clean these microscopic pores.

Carbamide peroxide and hydrogen peroxide are the two main smile whitening ingredients. They can penetrate the outer layer of your teeth to remove the build-up, and help restore whitening to teeth. Call Gary Sasaki DDS, MS at 734-482-7466 to schedule an appointment and we will explain the difference between these tooth bleaching ingredients and how they may affect your Ann Arbor smile whitening results.

Ann Arbor at-home teeth whitening products are probably not a good choice if you have crowns or veneers. You could end up with extremely uneven results or possible damage to your existing Michigan cosmetic dentistry.

We know the best Ann Arbor teeth bleaching options and can recommend the perfect white smile solution for you.
