It is normal to have unevenly colored teeth after bleaching, but that depends on the extent to which it occurs. With time, the color will appear more even. Yet, the reason for uneven color may be what you do. The first thing to do is avoid many common mistakes people make post-bleaching, such as consuming products known to stain teeth like wine, coffee, soy sauce, coke, and so on.
It comes down to this anything that will stain a white garment will stain your teeth as well. If coffee is something you cannot do without, you may have it in a way that will not stain your teeth, like drinking it through a straw. The length of time, over which you will have to be careful about what you eat and drink varies. It is best to discuss this issue with your dentist.
Sometimes this cosmetic procedure displays an uneven effect – some parts of the tooth become whiter than other parts. A number of causes have been associated with this. For example you might have been applying the whitening solution improperly. If you are buying tray-free generic materials from the drugstore, they lack the facility to stop the solution from pooling in one area and leave other parts of the tooth untouched. This is the reason for uneven color. To prevent it from occurring, you may opt for a custom fitting tray. Your dentist will be able to recommend a good one. Otherwise, you will be left with splotchy teeth forever, and it will be a pity that you even went to all that trouble to whiten your teeth.
Other teeth bleaching means that leave your teeth with a splotchy color are whitening strips, which touch some parts of the teeth and escape others. In Canada, dentists prepare custom trays which are suitable for the specific structure and form of your teeth. Custom trays have a particular size thickness of a reservoir to control the amount of solution that is applied both at the gum line of the tooth and at the area where the incision is made. The result is a more uniform and even color. You also have to keep in mind that fillings, bridges and other artificial structures will not whiten; so, do not expect them to. You may consider asking your dentist to replace your fillings so that they match the white color of your teeth.
Another reason for uneven color may be the structure of your teeth preventing uniform color from developing. This happens when the gums recede and expose the white part of the teeth, with the enamel thinning out more. Some teeth have yellow roots which will also show. In this case, it is recommendable to get your cosmetic dentist to put a veneer or a white filling to cover the yellow root. This way, the full set of teeth will be a brilliant, uniform white. Moreover, it is not as much work as it sounds!
