Teeth Whitening

Be honest with yourself.

When’s the last time you saw a dentist? If it’s been a while, then chances are your teeth aren’t as white as they could be. Over time, teeth can become stained and discolored for a variety of reasons. Maybe you’ve been drinking coffee or red wine for years, or maybe you smoke cigarettes. Whatever the case may be, teeth whitening can help restore your smile to its former glory. At [practice_name], we offer professional teeth whitening services that can brighten your smile by several shades in just one visit!

What Causes Tooth Discoloration?

Your teeth are naturally white, but over time they can become dull and yellowed due to a variety of reasons. The most common causes of tooth discoloration are smoking, coffee, tea, wine, soda, and certain foods. Smoking is one of the worst things you can do for your teeth because it causes staining as well as gum disease and oral cancer. Coffee, tea, and wine can also stain your teeth if you drink them regularly. Soda and other sugary drinks are also culprits of yellowing teeth. Foods like berries, soy sauce, curry, balsamic vinegar, beets, and tomato sauce can also cause stains on your teeth.

How Does Teeth Whitening Work?

Our dentists use Zoom!® whitening technology to brighten your smile. This treatment uses a bleaching gel that is applied to your teeth and then activated with a special light. The gel contains hydrogen peroxide, which breaks down the stains on your teeth. The light helps to activate the gel, allowing it to penetrate deeper into your enamel and remove more stains. In just one visit, you can lighten your teeth by up to eight shades!

Is Teeth Whitening Safe?

Yes, teeth whitening is safe when performed by a professional dentist

Take proper care of your teeth.

The smile is one of the first things people notice about you, and if you have stained teeth, it can affect your confidence. Fortunately, there are a variety of teeth whitening options that can brighten your smile. At our office, we offer two types of whitening treatments: in-office bleaching and at-home bleaching.

In-Office Bleaching

In-office bleaching is a safe and effective way to brighten your smile. Our dentists will apply a protective gel to your gums before placing a special light-activated gel on your teeth. The light activates the gel, which penetrates the enamel of your teeth to remove stains and discoloration. The entire process takes about an hour to complete.

At-Home Bleaching

If you prefer to whiten your teeth at home, our dentist will provide you with a customized tray that you will use with a bleaching solution. You will wear the trays for a few hours a day or overnight for about two weeks. After two weeks, you will notice a difference in the color of your teeth.

Both methods offer effective results, but in-office bleaching offers faster results. However, at-home bleaching allows you to whiten your teeth at your convenience.

Avoid dark-colored foods.

Dark colored foods and beverages like coffee, tea, and red wine can stain your teeth over time. These stains are very difficult to remove with brushing alone. Professional teeth whitening treatments can help remove these stains and give you a brighter smile. However, if you want to maintain the results of your treatment for as long as possible, you should avoid these foods and drinks as much as possible.

At our office, we offer professional teeth whitening treatments that can give you a whiter smile in as little as one visit. Our whitening treatments are safe, effective, and fast. In just one appointment, we can whiten your smile by several shades!
