You may notice that your teeth become dull or stained over time. This may occur due to a number of factors, including:

  • The natural aging process
  • Poor oral hygiene
  • Foods and drinks that stain
  • Smoking and other tobacco use
  • Illness or the use of certain medications
  • Fluorosis (excessive fluoride consumption)

While there are many over-the-counter whitening products available, nothing brightens your smile more quickly or effectively than professional teeth whitening. Teeth whitening treatments use a special whitening gel to break up and lighten stains, yellowing and discoloration on the tooth enamel to enhance the appearance of your teeth. These professional treatments are available both in-office and as a take-home kit.

In-office teeth whitening treatments can typically be completed in under an hour. We will apply the whitening gel to your teeth and use a special light to activate it so that you can leave our office with a more beautiful smile. Take-home whitening treatments involve the use of custom whitening trays. Our dentists will provide you with whitening gel to place in the trays and instructions on how to wear them. Over a period of several weeks, your teeth can become whiter.

Give us a call today if you have any questions about teeth whitening or to make an appointment with our dentists.

FAQS ABOUT TEETH WHITENING

Professional whitening uses stronger, prescription-strength bleaching agents that achieve dramatic results faster with customized treatment. Over-the-counter products contain lower concentrations and may take weeks or months to show results, if any.
Professional whitening results typically last 1-3 years, depending on your lifestyle and habits. To maintain results, avoid heavily staining foods and drinks immediately after treatment and consider touch-up treatments when needed.
Some patients experience temporary, mild tooth sensitivity during or after treatment. We use techniques to minimize sensitivity, and most discomfort resolves within 24-48 hours after treatment.
Most people with healthy teeth and gums are good candidates for professional whitening. Whitening works best on natural teeth and is most effective on yellow or brown stains from aging, food, or beverages.
In-office treatments take 60-90 minutes and can lighten teeth several shades in one visit. We also offer take-home kits with custom trays that whiten gradually over 1-2 weeks.
For the first 24-48 hours, avoid staining substances like coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco as teeth are temporarily more susceptible to staining. After this period, you can resume your normal diet.
