Teeth Whitening

"I can't believe how white my teeth are now. Wow!"
Whitenings If you want to whiten your teeth, the best place to start is with a healthy mouth. Tooth decay, sensitive or cracked teeth, infections or periodontal (gum) problems should be diagnosed and treated before any tooth whitening procedure. Otherwise, you could experience discomfort. The whitening process may aggravate existing problems, or the whitening process simply may not be right for you.

Begin With Dental Check-up

Whitening Before/AfterRather than heading to the local cosmetic counter or shopping mall in search of tooth whiteners, start with a dental check-up. We can evaluate, diagnose and treat any pressing oral health conditions and advise you about different options to safely and effectively whiten your teeth. Our team can determine whether whitening will work for you. When we diagnose the cause of the discoloration - injury, stains from food or tobacco, antibiotic treatment as a child or other causes - a suitable tooth whitening method or product can be selected. The diagnosis is important; otherwise, you could be wasting time and money because whitening treatments work only on natural tooth enamel, not on crowns, veneers, bonding materials or tooth colored fillings.

Tooth-Whitening Kiosks

Recently, tooth-whitening kiosks have appeared in malls and salons. In at least one state, these kiosks have been banned. Although they may be staffed with people wearing "scrubs" or laboratory coats who may look like health care professionals, that often is not the case. Staff running the tooth-whitening kiosk may have no health care training and no license to provide health care services. However, they are dispensing chemicals that could permanently affect your teeth and gums. 

Talk with us about the pros and cons of different whitening treatments and what may be right for you. We may suggest a simple procedure for daily use at home for a period of weeks or power whitening performed in the office. White, bright teeth are desirable, but having a healthy smile is more important. We can help you achieve not only a whiter, more attractive smile, but one that is healthy and contributes to your overall health. 

At Home Professional Teeth Whitening Systems vs. Professional In-Office Whitening Treatments

Most of our patients prefer to use their custom fitted teeth whitening trays in the convenience of their own home or as they go about their day at any time they wish, without their speech or appearance being impaired during whitening treatment.  The whitening gel is a cabamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide gel that is safe to use on enamel. It actually cleans the gums so it is very good for oral health when used in moderation. Home whitening is not as quick as in-office whitening treatments but is is usually more comfortable. Most of our patients will see 2 -3 shades of whitening after using the trays for 30 minutes per day for 2 weeks. 

In-office professional whitening  begins by applying a protective layer to the gums to minimize the contact of the teeth whitening agent to the gums. Contact will cause a non-threatening irritation to the gums. Once the protective layer is in place, the teeth concentrated whitening gel is then painted on to the surface of the teeth.  Usually 3-4 applications of gel are applied and the process usually takes about 2 hours. We generally see 2-3 shades of lightening in just 2 hours of treatment so it is a quick process.
