The determinates of natural tooth color are enamel and dentin, as well as the degree of enamel translucency. Enamel is the outermost layer and is whiter. Dentin is the layer underneath the enamel and tends to have a more yellow hue. Light shines through natural teeth, and the degree of translucency of the enamel determines how the underlying dentin influences the overall color.
How can I get my teeth whiter?
The first step to having whiter teeth is having proper oral hygiene. Color is perceived by how an object reflects light. The color of light that is reflected is the color of light that you see. The poorer one’s oral hygiene, the more likely a tooth is to be coated with food, beverage or tobacco particles. All of these particles, along with plaque, reflect light of an unflattering color. For patients who want whiter teeth without the bleach, we have pioneered a unique program that we call The Plaque Pack.
