Teeth whitening is a popular and effective cosmetic dental procedure that can dramatically improve the appearance of your smile. With the use of a powerful whitening gel, teeth whitening treatments can lighten the appearance of stains, discoloration and yellowing on the surface of your teeth. Whether you choose an in-office treatment or a take-home system, professional teeth whitening can give you a noticeably whiter smile and boost your self-esteem.

Many people find that their teeth become stained or discolored over time due to various factors. The natural aging process can lead to a dull and yellowed appearance of the teeth. Additionally, poor dental hygiene habits, such as inadequate brushing and flossing, can contribute to the buildup of stains. Consumption of certain drinks and foods like tea, wine, coffee, and soda can also cause discoloration. Smoking and tobacco use are notorious for staining teeth and giving them a yellow or brownish tint. Illness, certain medications and fluorosis (excessive fluoride intake) can also impact the color of your teeth.

To determine the most suitable teeth whitening treatment for you, it’s best to consult with our dentist. Our dentist will assess your oral health, evaluate the level of discoloration and recommend the appropriate treatment and duration. Whether you opt for an in-office treatment that provides immediate results or a take-home system that allows you to whiten your teeth at your own convenience, professional teeth whitening is a safe and effective way to achieve a brighter and more radiant smile.

If you’re interested in transforming your smile with teeth whitening, reach out to our experienced dental team today to schedule a consultation. They will guide you through the process, answer any questions you may have, and help you achieve the smile aesthetic you desire.

Why Get a Teeth Whitening Treatment?

Naturally, you want your smile to be as bright as possible, and the color of your teeth can be affected by staining from foods, drinks, tobacco use or even just the passage of time. If you consume an excessive amount of fluoride, white spots can appear on the surfaces of the teeth. This condition is called fluorosis and can often be found in children. A teeth whitening treatment may help resolve those problems but may not be effective for crowns, veneers, or discoloration due to some illnesses and medications.

Types of Whitening Treatments

Teeth whitening treatments are available as in-office and take-home treatments. During an office visit, we will apply a whitening gel that will be activated by a special light. The gel penetrates deep into the enamel of your teeth to break up the stains. This treatment usually takes less than an hour. If you opt for a take-home treatment, we will provide you with custom whitening trays and gel. You simply place the gel in the trays and wear them as prescribed by our dentist.

Keeping Your Smile White

One of the easiest ways to continue to enjoy your new whiter smile is by brushing your teeth at least two times per day and flossing before bed. During the day, you should limit or avoid dark-colored foods or beverages. Using a straw and drinking water after you enjoy these drinks can also limit the contact the liquid has with your teeth. Tobacco can discolor your teeth and create oral health hazards, so this may be the perfect time to quit! You should also continue to see Dr. Nicole for your regular cleanings and exams.
