Help! My Teeth are Yellow

Collectively, we first noticed how enticing a bright, white smile could be when movie stars began whitening their smiles and using veneers to enhance their teeth back in the 1980s. Even without the benefit of Technicolor® — which made whites (including teeth) look whiter — movie-star smiles went from typical yellowish to bright, white, and dazzling.

If you've tried to keep or turn your teeth bright white, you may have encountered some frustrations. It’s natural for teeth to yellow as you age because the protective enamel layer thins out, revealing the dingy-looking dentin that forms the center of each tooth.

In addition, our diet includes delicious but staining foods and beverages. For instance, if you drink coffee or eat blueberries, you may struggle to keep your teeth bright and white.

At Miracle Smile Dental, our expert dentist, Nisha Modi, DMD, wants you to have the brilliant, confident, white smile you deserve. Our team offers professional teeth whitening with Zoom!® at our Aubrey, Texas, office.

Zoom whitens teeth in a single session if you have a yellow smile. Here’s how to turn your yellow teeth white again in just a few steps.

First, we make sure your teeth are healthy

One advantage to professional teeth whitening is that we first examine your teeth and gums to ensure they’re healthy. It doesn’t make sense to whiten teeth that may need major work done in the near future.

If your teeth and gums are healthy, you’re ready for Zoom. If not, we treat you on the spot or recommend necessary procedures, such as a root canal to fix a broken or decayed tooth or planing and scaling to reverse periodontitis.

Ready? You are an hour away from a white smile

The next advantage to a professional teeth whitening session with Zoom is that it takes no time! Unlike at-home kits, which can take days to weeks to notice slight changes, most Zoom whitening takes less than an hour.

Just a single session can whiten yellowed teeth by up to eight shades. If you need more intensive whitening than that, we may recommend more extended procedures that combine in-office treatment with customized at-home treatment.

Why so fast?

We use a combination of professional-grade whitening gels along with blue LED light to wipe away years of stains in a single session. Zoom’s dentist-developed gel can remove years of stains. The stronger bleach that we use not only removes surface stains but also helps to whiten the inner dentin.

The blue LED accelerates whitening. The tools and products used are of higher strength and quality than you can get over the counter, which is why our whitening works in just 45 minutes or so, where it may take hours to replicate at home (with better results, too).

Keep the stains at bay

Once you’ve achieved your beautiful, bright, white smile, the last thing you want is to wind up with fresh stains again. However, with good oral hygiene and at-home touch-ups, your Zoom smile should last 1-3 years.

If you have other cosmetic or functional issues you’d like to take care of, you might consider dental veneers as a whitening or part of a solution. Veneers are stain-resistant; once you have veneers, you never have to whiten those treated teeth again.
