Why Choose Professional Teeth Whitening?

Your teeth are one-of-a-kind, influenced by factors like age, diet, lifestyle, and even medications. This means a whitening product that works for someone else may not deliver the same results for you, and some over-the-counter products can even harm your gums.

Opting for professional teeth whitening provides several key advantages over store-bought alternatives:

  • Tailored to Your Needs: During your consultation, we take the time to understand your concerns, goals, and expectations. After thoroughly assessing your teeth and gums, we recommend the most appropriate whitening treatment based on your oral health and desired results.
  • Performed by Experts: Our dental professionals are highly trained in the latest whitening methods and products. They know exactly how to apply treatments while following safety protocols to protect both your teeth and gums.
  • Dramatic Improvement: We use prescription-strength bleaching agents, offering the most effective and powerful solution for achieving noticeable results.
  • Immediate Results: Unlike over-the-counter products, professional whitening gives you visible improvements in just about an hour.
  • Even Whitening: Professional treatments ensure all areas of your teeth are uniformly whitened, something that many store-bought products, like strips, can’t achieve due to uneven coverage.
  • Increased Comfort: Our advanced techniques, including laser whitening, are designed to minimize sensitivity and reduce the risk of gum irritation, providing you with a more comfortable experience.

A professional dentist is the best person to assess your needs and suggest the safest, most efficient whitening solution. Looking to brighten your smile? Reach out to us today!

The Causes of Tooth Staining and Discoloration

Surface Stains: The enamel, the outer layer of your teeth, is the hardest part of the human body, primarily made up of minerals. Despite its durability, enamel is porous, which means it can absorb substances that cause discoloration.

The most common causes of surface stains are:

  • Dark-colored beverages such as tea, coffee, wine, sodas, and fruit juices
  • Foods like tomato sauce and soy sauce
  • Sweetened foods and drinks
  • Vibrant fruits like berries, cherries, and pomegranates
  • Use of tobacco products

Inadequate nutrition and poor oral hygiene also contribute to surface staining.

Deep Stains: Discoloration can also affect the inner layer of the tooth, called dentin, which lies beneath the enamel. Dentin naturally has a yellow or gray tone. As we age, the enamel naturally thins, revealing more of the dentin and giving teeth a dull appearance. Medications, illnesses, or injuries can also lead to discoloration within this deeper layer.

Recognizing the causes of tooth discoloration allows you to care for your teeth more effectively and make better decisions when considering whitening treatments.

Professional Teeth Whitening

Whitening your teeth is a great way to restore their natural brightness, without the need for more invasive treatments like veneers.

In-House Treatment

Many patients prefer an in-office whitening treatment for the best results. During this procedure, a powerful bleaching solution is applied to your teeth using custom trays. Once in place, a high-quality UV light activates the solution, allowing oxygen molecules to penetrate the enamel and lift stains. This method offers quick, noticeable results while reducing the risk of gum irritation and sensitivity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Plaque develops when food and drink particles aren’t properly removed from your teeth. Over time, plaque hardens into tartar, which can only be removed by a dentist or hygienist. If you don’t brush your teeth thoroughly or often enough, a yellowish coating may appear on or around your teeth.

Teeth whitening is generally safe, though some people may experience sensitivity, especially during the first few treatments. This sensitivity usually diminishes over time. It’s crucial to follow the instructions provided with your take-home kit or any over-the-counter whitening products.

Whitening won’t change the color of any crowns, veneers, or fillings on your front teeth. Whitening the natural teeth around these restorations may make them appear more noticeable.

Teeth whitening is typically not covered by insurance. To find out if your insurance provider covers it, contact them directly. We can provide you with an estimate that you can submit to your insurance.

After a teeth whitening procedure, it’s best to avoid foods and drinks that can stain your teeth, such as tea, coffee, red wine, colored sodas, fruit juices, tomato sauce, curry, soy sauce, red meat, chocolate, and all fruits except bananas.

The effects of teeth whitening can last anywhere from six months to up to three years, depending on the type of treatment you choose and how well you care for your teeth.
