Eliminate Stubborn Tobacco Stains from Your Smile with Zoom! Teeth Whitening

Clean Tobacco Stains from Teeth in American Fork UT Area

Many people are aware of the harmful effects of tobacco on overall health but not the lasting damage tobacco can have on their dental health. Smoking, chewing, or vaping tobacco can stain your teeth, damaging your beautiful smile.

Greg G. Pitts DDS in American Fork, Utah, offers Zoom! teeth whitening to restore sparkle in your discolored smile. This teeth whitening system eliminates numerous stains caused by foods, drinks, poor oral hygiene, and aging. What’s more, Zoom! can remove tobacco stains from teeth for a naturally white smile.

Why does tobacco stain your smile?

Tobacco contains nicotine and tar that rob your smile of its youthful luster. Although nicotine is colorless, it turns yellow when exposed to oxygen. On the other hand, tar is naturally dark and embeds on your enamel after smoking tobacco. The two products gradually enter the microscopic pores of your teeth, changing the hue of your teeth to yellow or brown.

Moreover, tobacco use encourages the buildup of unsightly plaque and tartar on your teeth, denying them their natural whiteness.

How to fix tobacco stains with Zoom! teeth whitening

Zoom! teeth whitening at our office can remove accumulated smoking stains for a gleaming smile. We usually start the procedure after a professional dental cleaning to remove built-in plaque and tartar.

After teeth cleaning, we prepare your teeth by isolating the soft tissues with a lip retractor to prevent contact with the whitening gel. Then, we apply the bleaching agent on the visible surfaces of your teeth. Next, we activate the whitening gel with a specialized light to accelerate the whitening process. We may repeat this process after 15-20 minutes, depending on the severity of your discoloration.
