At Whiting Dental in Mesa, Arizona, Dr. Ben Whiting, Dr. Scott Stauffer, and his team are committed to helping patients achieve radiant smiles through exceptional dental care. One of the most sought-after treatments at the practice is professional teeth whitening, a safe and effective solution for those looking to brighten their teeth and enhance their confidence. If you’re considering this popular cosmetic dental treatment, here are five frequently asked questions about it and how it works to deliver long-lasting results.
Professional teeth whitening services are designed to lighten your teeth’s shade by several levels. Unlike over-the-counter whitening products, this treatment is performed under the observation of a dentist, ensuring both safety and effectiveness. At Whiting Dental, Dr. Whiting uses advanced whitening systems to achieve noticeable and long-lasting results in a single visit or through take-home kits customized for your needs.
The whitening process typically begins with thoroughly cleaning your teeth to remove any surface debris or plaque. Dr. Whiting will then apply a professional-grade bleaching agent to your teeth, which breaks down stains caused by coffee, tea, wine, tobacco, and other factors. In-office treatments may involve using a special light or laser to activate the whitening agent and accelerate the process. Custom trays and a whitening gel are provided for take-home kits for convenient at-home use.
Yes, having your teeth whitened by a professional is completely safe. Dr. Whiting ensures the treatment is tailored to your dental health and sensitivity. Unlike store-bought products, professional whitening minimizes the risk of gum irritation and enamel damage. Patients can enjoy peace of mind knowing an experienced dental professional is administering their treatment.
Your lifestyle choices and dental hygiene practices will determine how long your teeth whitening results last. Professional teeth whitening results can persist for many months to a year if you maintain your teeth properly, including brushing, flossing, and avoiding foods and drinks that can discolor your teeth. Dr. Whiting might suggest routine touch-ups or other procedures to keep your smile looking its best.
Teeth whitening is suitable for most patients with healthy teeth and gums. However, it’s important to note that whitening treatments are not effective on restorations like crowns, veneers, or fillings. During your consultation at Whiting Dental, Dr. Whiting will evaluate your oral health and discuss whether professional teeth whitening is the best option. He may recommend alternative treatments if you have severe discoloration or other dental concerns.
Professional teeth whitening is a simple yet transformative way to boost your smile and confidence.
