Professional Teeth Whitening

We all strive to achieve a sparkling smile, yet various factors can lead to teeth becoming yellowed or dulled over time.

Top 3 Causes of Teeth Discoloration:

  1. Poor oral hygiene
  2. Aging
  3. Lifestyle habits (such as smoking, consuming staining foods, and drinks like coffee, tea, and red wine)

Stained teeth can significantly detract from our smiles’ beauty, undermining our self-esteem. Professional teeth whitening treatments can remove stains, helping you achieve the smile you’ve always wanted. Professional whitening involves applying a hydrogen peroxide gel to the teeth and activating it with a special light to release oxygen ions. These ions penetrate the enamel, removing surface stains and deeper discoloration, resulting in a significantly brighter smile.

Professional whitening has many advantages over DIY tooth whitening. Professional treatments typically yield immediate results, often in just one session, making them a convenient choice for those with busy schedules. They can also be tailored to individual needs and preferences, ensuring optimal outcomes.

  • What are the benefits of teeth whitening?

    Teeth whitening is a simple and effective way to improve your confidence, health, and appearance. You can brighten your smile and give yourself a more energetic and vibrant look. Not only will this help to make you look healthier, but it will also make you look younger, allowing you to enjoy the many benefits of a more confident you.

  • How is professional teeth whitening performed?

    Our office currently offers two different types of professional whitening services: in-office and custom-made trays.

    • In-office. These procedures start by covering up vulnerable areas inside the mouth, including the lips and gums, to prevent exposure from the peroxide. Then, we apply a high-concentrate hydrogen peroxide gel directly to the teeth and activate it. You will rest comfortably for a short time until the gel does its work. Then we remove the coverings and rinse the gel away.
    • Custom-made trays. We will take a custom mold of your teeth to make clear trays that you take home, along with a whitening gel. These trays will help minimize the risk of whitening gel affecting your gums or mouth and you can whiten your teeth from the comfort of your home. All you have to do is place the whitening gel inside the trays and place the trays in your mouth.
  • How do I whiten my teeth at home?

    If you want to whiten your teeth at home, there are several simple remedies you can try. Start by brushing with baking soda and occasionally rinsing or brushing with a diluted hydrogen peroxide solution (1.5% concentration). Apple cider vinegar can also be used as a brushing or rinsing agent. Eating more fruits and vegetables and limiting foods that stain teeth, such as soda, coffee, and wine, will help reduce discoloration. Additionally, limiting sugar intake and maintaining a regular brushing and flossing routine (twice a day) can also have a positive effect.
