Why Teeth Whitening?
Teeth whitening treatment can remove or minimize stains from soda, coffee, dark beverages, smoking, and aging. It may not reverse staining from antibiotic use, but each case is different. All of our dentists can provide you with the best treatment option.
What to Expect
Teeth whitening procedures are a cosmetic procedure as yellowed or stained teeth are not considered oral health issues. Visits to our dentists are quick and painless.
Before Treatment
Before treatment, our dentist will make sure that you are a good candidate for teeth whitening. If you have any of the issues listed below, you may not be a good candidate for this procedure. Ask our dentists to learn more.
- Gum disease
- Teeth decay
- Extreme teeth sensitivity
- Restorations
Brush your teeth gently the night before the treatment and avoid any dark, potentially staining liquids.
During Treatment
There are two options for getting a teeth whitening treatment: in-office, and at-home.
Teeth whitening treatment done at our New York dental offices involves first applying a gel that is painted onto the teeth. Then, a light is used to activate the gel. The procedure takes about 90 minutes, and you can expect your teeth to be up to 7 shades whiter.
For the at-home teeth whitening solution, a dental professional will create a custom whitening tray that you can wear for one hour a day for about 3-4 weeks with follow up visits to evaluate progress. These trays may also be used for touch-up maintenance whitening every 6-12 months or as indicated by your dental professional.
After Treatment
With both the professional at-home teeth whitening and the in-office treatment, you should see a significant difference in the shade of your teeth following treatment. These results are not permanent, and food, drink, smoking, and age determine how long the treatment will last before the teeth become stained or yellowed.
