Teeth Whitening in Milford MA

Tooth stains can make you feel ashamed or embarrassed. You might try to hide your smile whenever you can.

What causes this problem? Some stains are left by dark foods and drinks, such as red wine, coffee, tea, tomato sauce, soy sauce and blackberries. One glass of wine or soda here and there won’t automatically leave you saddled with permanent stains, but the discoloration can build up over time. If you begin every day with a steaming cup of coffee, your teeth may start to show it.

Your diet isn’t the only source of dingy teeth. A nicotine habit can also play a role. Both smoking and chewing tobacco have a reputation for yellowing teeth.

Even if you’re a nonsmoker who never drinks coffee, you’re not guaranteed a lifetime of pearly whites. Age can do a number on your smile; it’s normal for people’s teeth to turn darker as they get older. Some prescription medications may speed up the process.

Teeth whitening procedures can reverse the effects. You can restore your teeth to a lighter shade and once again take pride in your smile.

At Union Dental, we use the Zoom teeth whitening system for professional results. Our staff can create a custom treatment plan to help you achieve your goal of a brighter smile.

If you have an hour to commit to an appointment, we can do your whitening procedure in our office. We apply a whitening gel to your teeth and enhance the effects with a blue LED lamp. During this quick appointment, your teeth may lighten by as much as seven shades.

If you’d prefer to take care of your teeth whitening at home, we can provide you with the professional-grade tools for the job. Zoom teeth whitening offers both daytime and overnight systems for home use. You’ll place the special gel in trays that are molded perfectly to your teeth. Using the gel and trays for the prescribed amount of time may whiten your teeth up to six shades.

To discuss the approach to whitening that’s best for your needs and availability, schedule an appointment with Dr Tony Tong.

Teeth whitening is just one of the options for cosmetic dentistry. At Union Dental, we offer a range of services to boost our patients’ confidence.

Dental bonding is one such alternative for our patients in Milford. We use a tooth-colored material to cover or repair minor problems. Bonding is effective for hiding dark stains, lengthening teeth or filling gaps.

Porcelain dental veneers produce changes that are even more dramatic. Veneers are thin shells that cover the entire front area of a tooth. We can hide chips, points, stains and other irregularities behind dental veneers.

Does your tooth need more restorative work? Consider a crown. A dental crown covers the entire tooth: front, back and sides. In addition to camouflaging damage, it protects the underlying tooth.

Dr Tony Tong and the staff at Union Dental can also install dental implants or bridges to take the place of missing teeth. Partial or full dentures are additional options.

For your convenience, we have office locations in Marlborough, Worcester, Shrewsbury and Milford. Schedule your appointment for teeth whitening or other cosmetic dentistry. Dr Tony Tong and our enitre team are committed to helping you look your best. Let’s set a time to discuss the right services for your smile.
