Professional teeth whitening is one of the simplest ways to brighten your smile. It is normal for teeth to show some fading, stains, or discoloration over time, and whitening brightens them back toward their natural luster.
Coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco, and simply getting older can all leave teeth looking dull or yellow. Whitening lifts many of those stains, so your smile looks fresher in photos and in everyday life.
Unlike a store-bought kit, whitening with us starts with a dental checkup. Dr. Motson checks your teeth and gums first, since a cavity or gum problem should be treated before whitening, then talks through the whitening option that fits you and what to expect.
Some people notice brief tooth sensitivity during or after whitening, and we will tell you how to keep your smile bright afterward. If you live in Portage or the Kalamazoo area and want a whiter smile, ask us at your next visit.
