Did you know? Teeth naturally darken as we age. Certain foods, beverages, medications, and habits can also contribute to a darker, yellowed, or stained smile. However, it is possible to erase years of stains in a single professional whitening session and keep the results for years to come with proper maintenance.
Our Whitening Treatments
In-office professional whitening, also known as chairside whitening, is a fast and effective way to whiten teeth. This procedure is performed by our dental team and typically takes about an hour to complete. During your appointment, a special whitening gel is applied to your teeth and is then activated with a special light.
Our other whitening option, at-home whitening kits, consists of custom-made trays that are filled with whitening gel and worn over your teeth for a specified amount of time each day. The duration and frequency of your treatment will vary depending on your desired level of whitening.
Both in-office and at-home options are safe and effective when used with our guidance. However, teeth whitening is not a permanent solution, and the whitening effect can fade over time. To maintain your results, we recommend avoiding stain-causing foods and drinks and scheduling regular touch-up appointments with our team.
Overall, teeth whitening is a popular and effective cosmetic option for patients looking to improve the appearance of their teeth. It’s important to consult with our cosmetic dentist, Dr. Woods, to determine if teeth whitening is the right option for you and what results you can expect.
Frequently Asked Questions
Am I a candidate for teeth whitening?
You may be a candidate for professional teeth whitening if you have discoloration, but otherwise have healthy teeth and healthy gums. Schedule a consultation with our team to find out if whitening is right for you. Some patients, such as those who are pregnant or sensitive to whitening agents, may not be candidates for professional whitening.
What should I expect when getting my teeth whitened in-office?
Teeth whitening consists of a thorough cleaning and polishing of the teeth. We’ll then protect your gums before applying a whitening agent to the surface of your teeth. The product will be activated and left on your teeth for several minutes before being washed off with water. Your results will vary according to the natural shade of your teeth and degree of discoloration, but it is normal for patients to experience a lightening of several shades in a single visit.
What post-treatment care should I follow?
We advise that you avoid consuming highly pigmented beverages for at least 24 hours to prevent the teeth from becoming stained again. Examples include tea, coffee and wine. Depending on your results and long-term teeth whitening goals, you may also be sent home from your procedure with an at-home whitening kit for later use.
