When colorful foods and drinks catch up with your dental implants, can you get them professionally <a href=\"https:\/\/www.auburndentalsmiles.com\/teeth-whitening.html\">whitened<\/a> like you would natural teeth?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Technically, you could \u2013 but the results might not be as effective as you\u2019d like. Keep reading to learn why!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Teeth Whitening: All About Pours<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Having <a href=\"https:\/\/www.auburndentalsmiles.com\/dental-implants.html\">dental implants<\/a> doesn\u2019t prevent you from being eligible for teeth whitening. However, the whitening agents used in professional formulas don\u2019t affect implants the same way they do natural teeth \u2013 that is to say, they don\u2019t affect them at all. You see, the chemicals are designed to slip past the pours in your enamel and eliminate stains. Dental implant materials, however, are nonporous!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So a teeth whitening treatment won\u2019t brighten your dental restoration. Unfortunately, that\u2019s not all. It <em>will <\/em>brighten any natural teeth you have, resulting in a two-toned smile. If you\u2019d rather your teeth look as seamless as possible, it\u2019s better to schedule a whitening treatment, <em>then <\/em>a dental implant placement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Should I Brighten My Smile?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>But what should you do if you already have dental implants and are still wanting that pristine look? Then it\u2019s best to talk to your dentist. They might be able to polish your implants and give them a renewed shine. Or they might have to remove the implant, whiten any natural teeth, and replace the old restoration with a newly color-matched prosthetic that more closely resembles your whitening results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Basically, you still have options when it comes to enhancing the aesthetics of your dental implants. Your dentist will be able to steer you towards the best, most efficient method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keeping Your Smile White and Bright<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019d like your treatment results to last, it\u2019s important to maintain a good oral hygiene routine. That means brushing twice daily and flossing at least once per day. This simple habit helps remove food particles from your smile, and mitigates bacteria build up, which can also contribute to yellowy teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To go the extra mile, you can also rinse your mouth after every meal with warm water or an antibacterial mouthwash. This helps loosen up debris and bacteria, freeing particles before they have the chance to settle in and cause staining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more personalized tips on maintaining your whitening results, look no further than your dentist! They\u2019ll take your unique oral situation and preferences into account and help you enjoy your treatment for as long as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Drs. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.auburndentalsmiles.com\/dr-manpreet-dhaliwal.html\">Manpreet<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.auburndentalsmiles.com\/dr-navi-dhaliwal.html\">Navdeep Dhaliwal<\/a> haves decades of experience in dentistry, and are dedicated to providing personalized, effective treatment for their patients.
