Advantages of Professional Teeth Whitening Treatment at the Dental Clinic
Teeth whitening at the dentist’s office is the safest and most effective method for achieving a brighter smile. In-office whitening treatments are conducted under carefully monitored conditions, ensuring a safe, controlled, and pain-free experience.
Professional whitening products contain a higher concentration of hydrogen peroxide than over-the-counter options, resulting in faster and more effective outcomes. Under a dentist's supervision, your gums are protected from irritation, and the whitening results are long-lasting when combined with good oral hygiene practices.

What you can anticipate during the consultation
Prior to the teeth whitening procedure, a consultation is necessary. During this appointment, patients can discuss their dental history, overall health, and teeth goals. It is important to mention any ongoing dental issues, such as teeth and gum problems, that may need to be addressed before whitening can take place.
We will also assess the patient's teeth to determine if they are suitable candidates for whitening treatments. It is worth noting that existing dental work like crowns and veneers will not be affected by traditional whitening agents. If whitening treatments are deemed appropriate, we will assist in selecting the most effective product or technique for the individual.

Duration of Teeth Whitening Treatment
For the fastest results in teeth whitening, in-office treatments are the way to go. With a higher concentration of bleaching solution, professional whitening can achieve much brighter teeth in just a few sessions lasting 30 to 60 minutes each. Other options are also available for a single two-hour session. To learn more about our teeth whitening treatments, schedule an appointment with us today.

Who is a candidate for professional teeth whitening at the dentist?
For individuals with moderate to severe discoloration and staining on their teeth, professional teeth whitening at the dentist is the most effective option. These stains can be caused by factors such as aging, smoking, medications, and certain foods and drinks. Those with yellow or brown discoloration are ideal candidates for this treatment, while pregnant and lactating women should avoid teeth whitening.
It is not recommended for individuals with gum disease, worn down enamel, or existing decay to undergo teeth whitening. Treatment for cavities and damage must be completed before whitening can be considered. Additionally, those with gray or purple teeth may not see significant results from bleaching. Our team can provide guidance on the best teeth whitening options for each individual's specific needs.

Post-Treatment Care
While professional teeth whitening is not permanent, individuals can extend the longevity of their results by practicing proper care and maintenance. This includes avoiding habits like smoking and consuming foods and beverages that can stain teeth, such as coffee, tea, and red wine. It is crucial to maintain good oral hygiene by brushing teeth twice a day, flossing daily, and using mouthwash to reduce plaque buildup.
In addition, individuals can use whitening toothpaste recommended by their dentist, such as Colgate Total SF Fresh + Whitening ™ Toothpaste, hello® Naturally Whitening Toothpaste, or Colgate® Optic White® Toothpaste. Regular dental appointments for professional teeth cleaning are also important. Patients can consult with our team about touch-up treatments every six months to maintain their bright smile.
