What Is Teeth Whitening?
Teeth whitening is a simple, effective cosmetic dental treatment that we offer to noticeably enhance your smile in as little as one treatment. Our professional teeth whitening treatments utilize a powerful yet safe whitening gel that is applied to the surface of your teeth. This gel works to lighten the appearance of stains, discoloration, and yellowing on the tooth enamel.
Teeth whitening is often available in both in-office and take-home systems. Professional teeth whitening can give you a noticeably whiter smile that will boost your self-esteem and help you smile with pride.
How Does Teeth Whitening Work?
In-office teeth whitening is a safe and effective way to brighten your smile dramatically in just one visit. Using professional-grade whitening gel activated by a special light, our dental team gently lifts deep stains and discoloration caused by food, drinks, or aging. You’ll leave with noticeably whiter teeth and renewed confidence in just one visit—all under expert, personalized care.
Take-home whitening trays provide a convenient and effective way to brighten your smile from the comfort of your own home. Custom-fitted trays ensure even coverage and safe, consistent results. Just apply the professional-grade whitening gel as directed. In just a week or two, you’ll notice a noticeably whiter, more confident smile—without the sensitivity often caused by over-the-counter products.
Factors That Cause Tooth Discoloration
If you have ever wished that your smile were whiter and brighter, teeth whitening might be right for you. Through professional teeth whitening, we can lighten staining and discoloration caused by various factors, such as:
- The natural aging process
- Poor dental hygiene habits
- Consumption of certain drinks and foods, including tea, wine, coffee, and soda
- Smoking and other forms of tobacco use
- Illness
- Certain medications
- Fluorosis
Our dentists will work with you to determine the right type of treatment and treatment length to achieve the smile aesthetic you desire.
