Why Choose Professional Teeth Whitening?
While over-the-counter whitening products promise results, they often fall short in terms of effectiveness and safety. Professional teeth whitening offers several advantages, including:
- Stronger, Longer-Lasting Results: Our professional-grade whitening agents are more effective than store-bought options.
- Even Whitening: Customized treatment ensures uniform results without uneven patches or sensitivity.
- Safe for Your Teeth and Gums: Under professional supervision, whitening treatments minimize risks of irritation and enamel damage.
- Fast and Convenient: Achieve a brighter smile in just one visit or with convenient at-home options.
Whether you have deep-set stains or mild discoloration, our whitening treatments can restore your smile’s natural brilliance.
Our Teeth Whitening Options
At Coppertop Family Dentistry, we offer two effective teeth whitening solutions to suit your preferences and lifestyle:
In-Office Teeth Whitening
Our in-office whitening treatment provides dramatic results in just one appointment. Using powerful whitening agents and professional techniques, we can lighten your teeth by several shades in about an hour. The process involves:
- A thorough cleaning to remove surface debris.
- Application of a professional-strength whitening gel.
- Activation with a special light to enhance the whitening process.
- Multiple rounds of whitening for optimal brightness.
In-office whitening is ideal for patients looking for immediate, noticeable results with minimal effort.
Take-Home Whitening Kits
For those who prefer the convenience of whitening at home, our take-home whitening kits offer a professional alternative to drugstore options. These kits include:
- Custom-fitted whitening trays for even application.
- Professional-grade whitening gel tailored to your desired level of brightness.
- Easy-to-follow instructions for safe and effective use.
Take-home kits provide flexibility, allowing you to whiten your teeth on your schedule while achieving gradual, long-lasting results.
Common Causes of Tooth Discoloration
Teeth can become stained or discolored over time due to various factors, including:
- Food and Beverages: Coffee, tea, red wine, and dark-colored foods can stain enamel.
- Smoking and Tobacco Use: Nicotine and tar contribute to yellowing and deep stains.
- Aging: Enamel naturally thins over time, revealing the yellowish dentin beneath.
- Poor Oral Hygiene: Inadequate brushing and flossing can lead to plaque buildup and discoloration.
- Medications: Certain antibiotics and medications can cause intrinsic stains.
No matter the cause, our professional whitening treatments can help restore a whiter, brighter smile.
How to Maintain Your Whitened Smile
After your professional whitening treatment, maintaining your results is key to prolonging your brighter smile. Follow these tips to keep your teeth looking their best:
- Brush and floss daily using a whitening toothpaste.
- Avoid staining foods and beverages or rinse your mouth afterward.
- Quit smoking or using tobacco products.
- Schedule regular dental cleanings to remove plaque and surface stains.
- Use touch-up whitening treatments as recommended by our dental team.
Is Teeth Whitening Right for You?
Teeth whitening is a safe and effective solution for most patients; however, it may not be suitable for everyone. You may be a good candidate if you have:
- Yellowed or stained teeth from food, drinks, or smoking.
- Healthy teeth and gums without underlying dental issues.
- Realistic expectations about the whitening process.
If you have restorations such as dental crowns or veneers, whitening may not be effective, and other cosmetic options may be recommended. Our team will assess your smile and recommend the best approach for achieving your desired results.
