\"TiredTime, wear and tear and what we put into our mouths change the color of our teeth. If you would like strikingly bright teeth, see the professionals at Generations Dental Care. Safe, effective teeth whitening in Concord, NH may be just what your smile needs.<\/p>\n

Why do teeth stain?<\/h3>\n

Tooth enamel is a hard, mineral matrix, or network. Unfortunately, organic material from what we eat, drink or smoke catches in that network and retains stains. This extrinsic discoloration responds to bleaching chemicals–typically, hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide.<\/p>\n

You can get these whitening agents in over the counter toothpastes, rinses, strips and gels, but frankly, they aren\u2019t concentrated enough to produce good results. Also, when not supervised by your Concord, NH dentist, tooth and gum sensitivity may result.<\/p>\n

How your Concord, NH dentist can help<\/h3>\n

Dr. Christopher Binder<\/a> and his associate dentists at Generations Dental Care know that good smile aesthetics improve a patient\u2019s self-image and confidence. That\u2019s why they offer several cosmetic dental services to improve the look of an otherwise healthy smile.<\/p>\n

The dentists choose Kor Deep Bleaching or\u00a0 Zoom! Teeth whitening systems for patients without multiple restorations, active decay or gum disease. Each system is available as a fast, in-office treatment or in convenient at-home applications. Either one leaves smiles dramatically whiter by several shades of color.<\/p>\n

Kor whitening<\/h3>\n

The Kor system is so powerful it even removes intrinsic stains from prescription medications such as tetracycline. Chairside at Generations Dental Care, the team applies the gel in 3 20-minute sessions for a total of about one hour. Care is taken to protect the sensitive soft tissues of the mouth, and patients leave with an touch-up kit to keep their newly whitened smile super bright.<\/p>\n

The at-home kit uses custom-fitted \u201cdeep bleach trays.\u201d Worn each night for about 2 weeks, the trays are comfortable and apply the whitening gel directly to tooth enamel. Results are similar to the in-office version.<\/p>\n

Zoom! Whitening<\/h3>\n

Another quality product is Zoom! Whitening. The dental team applies the peroxide gel to tooth enamel in 3 15-minute sessions. During each session, the active ingredient in the gel is accelerated by the Zoom! Advanced Power Chairside Lamp. When the patient leaves the office, he displays a smile whiter by 8 shades or more.<\/p>\n

Keeping that smile bright<\/h3>\n

The team at Generations Dental advise some simple lifestyle habits to keep your newly whitened smile dazzling indefinitely:<\/p>\n
