What Is Professional Teeth Whitening?
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental treatment designed to lighten stains and discoloration on natural teeth.
Professional whitening uses dental whitening products under the guidance of a dental team. Before recommending treatment, we can evaluate your teeth, gums, existing dental work, and the type of discoloration present.
This allows us to recommend an approach that is appropriate for your smile and helps reduce the risk of unnecessary sensitivity, gum irritation, or uneven whitening.
Teeth Whitening Options
At Advances in Dentistry, we offer both in-office and take-home teeth whitening options.
The appropriate choice depends on how quickly you want results, your level of discoloration, your sensitivity history, and your personal preferences.
In-Office Teeth Whitening
In-office whitening may be a good option for patients who want noticeable whitening in a shorter period of time.
Treatment is performed in our dental office using professional whitening products while our team takes steps to protect the gums and surrounding soft tissues.
Some patients choose in-office whitening before weddings, graduations, photos, vacations, job interviews, or other special events.
Take-Home Teeth Whitening
Take-home whitening allows you to brighten your smile more gradually and conveniently.
Our team will explain how to use your whitening system, how often to whiten, and what to do if you experience sensitivity.
This option may be appropriate for patients who prefer whitening at home or want a flexible way to brighten or maintain their smile over time.
What to Expect During Your Teeth Whitening Visit
Your whitening consultation begins with a discussion of your smile goals and an evaluation of your teeth and gums.
We will look at the type and degree of discoloration present and determine whether whitening is likely to help.
If you choose in-office whitening, our team will protect your gums and surrounding tissues before applying the whitening product to your teeth.
If you choose a take-home whitening system, we will provide instructions for using it properly and explain how to reduce the risk of sensitivity.
Call 405-751-6996 to schedule your professional teeth whitening consultation with Advances in Dentistry.
Benefits of Professional Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening may help:
- Brighten stained or yellow teeth
- Improve the overall appearance of your smile
- Create a fresher, brighter-looking smile
- Prepare your smile for a special event
- Provide more controlled whitening than many over-the-counter products
- Allow a dental professional to evaluate your teeth before treatment
Whitening results vary from person to person. Your natural tooth color, type of stains, whitening method, diet, and daily habits can all affect the final result.
Is Teeth Whitening Right for Me?
Teeth whitening may be appropriate if your natural teeth are healthy but look stained, dull, or yellow.
Whitening often works best on discoloration caused by foods, beverages, tobacco, and natural changes in tooth color over time.
Whitening does not change the color of dental crowns, fillings, bonding, or porcelain veneers. If you have visible restorations, our dentists can help you determine how whitening should fit into your overall cosmetic treatment plan.
During your consultation, Dr. Corbyn Rhodes or Dr. Angela Windsor can discuss whether teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, dental bonding, clear aligners, Invisalign®, or a smile makeover may best fit your goals.
Professional Teeth Whitening vs. Store-Bought Products
Drugstore whitening strips, toothpastes, and other products may help with some surface staining, but results can vary.
Professional whitening allows a dental team to evaluate your mouth before treatment and recommend a whitening approach based on your teeth, gums, existing restorations, and sensitivity concerns.
If you are unsure which approach is appropriate, a cosmetic consultation can help you understand your options before beginning treatment.
