Teeth Whitening in Tempe, AZ
I have been using Okun Dentistry for about 10 years. I have found the office to be very professional, friendly and caring. They can assist with insurance and will go the extra mile. Last year I needed some specialty work that is not included in Dr. Okun’s practice. Her referrals were terrific. Dr Okun also doesn’t recommend work until it is necessary. Before seeing Dr Amy, I was her father’s patient. This is definitely a family practice with a family vibe. I have no hesitations recommending this practice.

Whitening procedures have effectively restored the smile of people with stained, dull, or discolored teeth. Dentists Tempe always strives to improve the appearance of your teeth with safe, effective whitening solutions.
The darker tissue of your teeth, the dentin, can become exposed as the outer layer of enamel is worn away by the effects of aging or things like caffeine and tobacco.
Food particles are naturally attracted to a tooth’s enamel by a certain protein. Products like coffee and tea, berries, and soy sauce are notorious for staining teeth. Over time, teeth become more absorbent and vulnerable to staining from food and other substances.
One type of stain—caused by traumatic injuries, medications, and fluorosis—begins inside the tooth; brushing and flossing don’t help. Another type of stain—one that can be more easily attacked by brushing, flossing, and rinsing—is caused by external factors such as foods.
More and more people today are choosing tooth-whitening procedures to reverse the effects of aging and abuse from food and tobacco stains. Visit Okun Dentistry today if you are looking for reliable teeth whitening services in Tempe, AZ.
Some commercially available “whitening toothpaste” can remove stains and make teeth a few shades brighter. However, many of these products have abrasive substances that can wear away your tooth’s enamel.
Our teeth whitening Tempe agents change the color of your teeth, but only are effective on certain types of stains. For example, bleaching agents have a difficult time removing brownish or grayish stains. These products also are not as effective on pitted or badly discolored teeth, or on restorations such as crowns, bridges, bonding, and tooth-colored fillings (porcelain veneers or dental bonding may be more appropriate in this case).
Professional whitening performed by our office is considered to be the most effective and safest method; done properly, tooth whitening can last as long as five years. Over-the-counter whitening systems are somewhat effective as long as they are monitored and directions followed closely. Book a teeth whitening session with our dentists Tempe AZ to witness the difference and visible results.
