What Is Teeth Whitening?

Professional teeth brightening involves a range of procedures aimed at improving the appearance of your smile by lightening the shade of your teeth. These procedures utilize high-quality gels and solutions to eliminate stains and yellowing on your teeth. Only licensed dental professionals are permitted to administer these treatments because the gel is so potent. We provide several selections both in our clinic and for at-home use, and will help identify the most suitable solution for your specific needs.

How Do Teeth Become Stained?

Despite the natural strength of teeth, enamel is porous and susceptible to staining. Over time, smiles can lose their brilliance, taking on a yellowish hue. Various factors contribute to this change, extending beyond dietary habits. These factors include:

  • Consumption of dark beverages like red wine and coffee
  • Usage of tobacco products
  • Intake of dark berries and pasta sauces
  • Inconsistent oral hygiene

Skilled In-Office Whitening Treatments

Our dentists provide outstanding in-office whitening treatments with the Philips Zoom system if you're seeking rapid results. Receiving in-office whitening from our skilled staff ensures even results, lightening your teeth by several shades in just one appointment.

We start the procedure by applying whitening material to your teeth. We then employ ultraviolet light to stimulate the brightening component in the gel. Getting in-office whitening can help patients with sensitive smiles enjoy a more comfortable experience as our dentists take precautions to ensure your gums stay out of contact with the gel. We also take steps to reduce sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures.

Our Take-Home Whitening Options

If you prefer the convenience of whitening on your schedule, we provide take-home teeth whitening kits. Our team will give you instructions to ensure you're using the gel for the right amount of time and frequency for optimal results, safeguarding your teeth and delivering long-lasting results. Our take-home kits can be used as a standalone option or as a way to enhance and maintain your in-office whitening treatments.

Maintaining Your Radiant Smile

Once you've achieved your desired results, maintaining them can be simple if you stick to a few simple guidelines. These include:

  • Choosing stain-fighting foods and beverages to minimize discoloration
  • Opting for a nutrient-rich diet with crunchy fruits and vegetables that promote saliva flow and dilute harmful acids
  • Quitting tobacco as tar can quickly counter the results of whitening as well as pose other oral health risks
  • Prioritizing proper oral hygiene with regular brushing and flossing. We also recommend using a straw to reduce the staining effects of dark beverages

How long does teeth whitening last?

It varies. Depending on your lifestyle and upkeep, whitening can generally last several months to a few years. You can extend this timeframe by maintaining good oral hygiene practices and avoiding staining foods and drinks.

Teeth whitening is typically considered a cosmetic procedure and may not be covered by dental insurance. However, we try to make teeth whitening as affordable as possible.

Modern teeth whitening options like Philips Zoom are designed to minimize discomfort. Some individuals may experience temporary sensitivity or mild gum irritation, but these effects usually go away quickly if you experience them at all.
