how teeth whitening works.
Teeth whitening is the most sought-after cosmetic dentistry treatment.
TAKE-HOME TEETH WHITENING
We offer take-home whitening to achieve a brighter smile from the comfort of your own home. Our take-home whitening kits will gradually whiten your teeth over a week or two. To create your reusable custom whitening trays, we will take impressions of your teeth and gums to ensure your trays fit perfectly.
Once the trays have been crafted, we'll give you our whitening product and a complete set of instructions for proper use. Following your dentist's instructions will give you the professional results in the comfort of your own home.
IN-OFFICE WHITENING
In-office teeth whitening is a quick way to illuminate your smile by whitening it up to 10 shades in a single session. If you want to dramatically brighten your smile for an upcoming special occasion, you’ll love the near-instant results from in-office whitening.
First, your dentist will apply a special gel to your gums to protect them during whitening. Also, retractors will be used to keep them away from your teeth to protect your cheeks, gums, and other delicate soft tissues. Once we've taken all the necessary precautions, a powerful whitening agent will be applied to your teeth and activated with a special UV light. After an hour, the paste or gel will be rinsed away, revealing a brighter smile. For patients with highly discolored teeth, the process may be repeated multiple times throughout several visits to achieve your desired outcome.
Sensitivity after teeth whitening is a normal side effect, but it should only last a few days.
The most reliable and effective way to whiten teeth is through in-office teeth whitening. Typically, this treatment is performed in less than 90 minutes, so you’ll leave the dentist’s office with a beautiful smile before you know it.
When overused or misused, whitening agents (typically peroxide) can erode the surface of the teeth and irritate dental nerves. Also, individuals are at risk for chemical burns, inflammation, and discomfort if the whitening product reaches the gums or cheeks.
Because of the risks associated with teeth whitening, we strongly suggest solely seeking professional teeth whitening options if you’re interested in brightening your smile.
It's best to whiten your teeth right before bed. If you're considering take-home trays, make teeth whitening part of your bedtime ritual to avoid staining and see the best results.
