Charleston dentist offers the best teeth whitening option

The best teeth whitening in Charleston is customized to your unique needs and preferences, and is designed to lift stains for a lasting boost to your appearance.

Custom smile design

Not everyone wants a “Hollywood white” smile. Dr. Greenberg works with you to determine the best coloration for your teeth, using a shade guide. Any procedure starts with a consultation and examination.

The doctor will identify if discoloration is more than a cosmetic problem; some dark areas are signs of decay. He will also work with you on a plan that considers restorations, because crowns other types of artificial tooth structure cannot be whitened.

Mouth Carolina Dentistry, PA also understands different types of stains require different treatments. If you have telltale signs of intrinsic decay, such as chalky white spots caused by fluoride, whitening or bleaching treatments prescribed by professionals may not achieve the results you desire. Dr. Greenberg may suggest other types of treatments for stubborn discoloration, such porcelain veneers or bonding.

Generally, surface stains caused by smoking, food and drink are very common and amenable to treatments prescribed by your dentist.

Real results

There are many products on the market that appear to whiten teeth, but don’t actually remove stains or affect natural color. Many types of toothpaste marketed as “whitening” contain a chemical called blue covarine that sticks to enamel and creates the illusion of less yellow or brown teeth. Even some professional whitening procedures that are applied by dentists as “in-office power treatments,” only achieve whiter teeth over the shorter term. After the teeth rehydrate, they return to their stained and yellowed appearance.

Home whitening prescribed by Dr. Greenberg and applied daily as instructed by your dentist is the only way to get long-term changes to the color of your teeth. Schedule a consultation today. Call (843)751 4262.
