Teeth whitening in Florence MA

Florence MA dentist

Keeping our teeth their whitest is a lot harder than it sounds. With all the coffee, wine, smoking, and other foods that have the ability to stain our teeth on a daily basis, even proper maintenance sometimes leaves them a little lackluster. Teeth whitening from your Florence MA dentist at Modestow Family Dentistry is an excellent way to restore the natural color of your teeth or even make them whiter than your natural color if you would like.


Cosmetic Dentistry is the science and art of improving your smile. People notice your smile immediately, and a wonderful smile enhances your appearance. Therefore, teeth whitening may be the one of the best ways to enhance your beautiful smile. Tooth whitening works best for people with yellow teeth and is less effective for people with brown teeth. If your teeth are gray or purple, tooth bleaching probably won't work at all, so it best to consult your Florence MA dentist at Modestow Family Dentistry before having this procedure done. If you are a candidate for teeth whitening, teeth can generally get three to eight shades brighter and it usually only takes several 30- to 60-minute in-office visits. The bleaching solution is usually much stronger than at-home kits. Also, heat, light, or a combination of the two may be used to speed and intensify the whitening process. You can help maintain the results by flossing and brushing daily. Also, avoid acidic and tannin-rich foods and beverages such as black teas and coffee, white and red wine, sports drinks, carbonated beverages, berries, and other strongly-colored foods, as well as certain sauces like soy, tomato, and curries. Tooth bleaching can make teeth temporarily sensitive, or be uncomfortable for people who already have sensitive teeth. So once again, always consult with us first.


So if you’re thinking about cosmetic dentistry, especially if teeth whitening is on one of your top priorities, then please contact the dental office of Modestow Family Dentistry today to see if you are a candidate for tooth whitening. Our skilled Florence MA cosmetic dentists can have you smiling in as little as one visit!
