Teeth can get discolored over time. The most common causes of tooth discoloration include aging, tobacco use, drinking coffee and tea, using certain medications, trauma, and fluorosis (excessive fluoride exposure during tooth development).
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic process of removing stains and restoring the natural white color of your teeth. The teeth whitening procedure involves bleaching your teeth, which usually includes applying a bleaching product to your teeth. The bleach breaks down the stains, and your natural white color can shine through.
Professional teeth whitening is the most effective option for teeth whitening. It can give you better results than over-the-counter teeth whitening products. Plus, professional teeth whitening is completely safe.
A professional whitening procedure will leave your teeth several shades whiter after a single session. Our dental team uses a professional-grade whitening gel. This gel contains a higher percentage of hydrogen peroxide than over-the-counter whitening kits, and this allows for a deeper, more effective whitening treatment.
During the professional teeth whitening procedure, a protective gel is applied to the gums, and a peroxide-based whitening gel is applied to the teeth. Using ultraviolet light, the whitening process is accelerated. Because of the high concentration of the bleaching agent, the results can be quick and dramatic. Patients typically get 3-4 shades of whiter teeth in an hour.
Patients can expect their white, bright smile to last for several months if they are taken care of well. However, in order to maintain results, patients should schedule periodic touch-up treatments.

Many patients prefer to use an at-home whitening kit. These kits include an applicator to help evenly spread the solution across the teeth. These whitening trays are typically worn for 30 minutes at a time, twice a day, for about two weeks. Patients may find that their teeth become sensitive during the whitening process, but the dentist can provide patients with a whitening gel that will alleviate any discomfort during concentration.
The main benefit of teeth whitening is enhanced confidence. Whiter teeth are associated with youth, beauty, vitality, and good health. In addition, white teeth can make a person look more youthful and more attractive and can help give a person a radiant, glowing look.
Teeth whitening is very safe. Your dentist will use professional-strength whitening gel, which contains ingredients that have been tested and proven safe.
Since the whitening gel will be applied to your teeth and then exposed to a special light, some patients experience tooth sensitivity, but only temporarily. Your dentist will provide helpful instructions on how to reduce your risk of sensitivity.
The most common type of teeth whitening is done by a dental professional. In-office teeth whitening uses a powerful bleaching gel to remove stains and lighten teeth by several shades. This treatment is effective, but the results aren’t permanent.
