What Is Teeth Whitening?

Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure that lightens the color of your teeth by removing stains and discoloration caused by food and drinks such as coffee, tea, and red wine, tobacco use, aging, and certain medications. San Juan Family Dentistry offers both in-office and take-home whitening treatments to meet your needs and preferences.

Benefits of Professional Teeth Whitening

  • Brighter, whiter smile: Our professional-grade treatments can significantly lighten your teeth by several shades.
  • Effective results: Professional whitening delivers more noticeable and longer-lasting results than over-the-counter options.
  • Customized to your smile: We tailor the whitening process to your individual needs and smile goals.
  • Faster and more effective: Our experienced team ensures a safe and comfortable whitening experience.

Common Types of Whitening Treatments

  • In-office whitening: Achieve dramatic results in a single visit.
  • Take-home trays: Whiten your teeth gradually and conveniently at home with custom take-home trays.

The Teeth Whitening Process

  • Personalized consultation: We discuss your goals, assess your oral health, and determine the best whitening option for you.
  • Pre-whitening cleaning: We clean your teeth to remove surface stains and plaque for optimal results.
  • Professional whitening treatment: A professional-strength whitening gel is applied, which may be activated with a special light.
  • Post-whitening care: We provide instructions on maintaining your white smile and minimizing future staining.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Should I have my teeth cleaned before whitening them?

Yes. To ensure the whitening gel targets deep stains effectively, plan to have your dental cleaning just before a whitening treatment.

Is teeth whitening safe?

Yes, teeth whitening is a safe and effective treatment when performed by a qualified dental professional. Some people may experience temporary tooth sensitivity or gum irritation after treatment.

Will whitening products damage my tooth enamel?

Whitening should not be used on teeth with active cavities or disease, as the ingredients could cause pain or irritation. Your dentist will confirm your teeth are healthy before starting treatment.

What causes tooth staining?

Coffee, tea, red wine, and cigarettes are common culprits, but teeth also absorb stains over the years, causing smiles to look darker over time. Certain medications can also cause enamel staining.

How can I keep my smile white after treatment?

Brush twice a day and floss daily to prevent plaque and tartar buildup, and rinse your mouth with water after drinking or eating something that could stain. Schedule a professional cleaning at San Juan Family Dentistry twice a year, and touch up a take-home whitening kit after every six-month cleaning — as often as every 3-4 months if you drink a lot of coffee or tea.

How much does teeth whitening cost?

The cost of teeth whitening varies depending on the method used and the dental office you choose. San Juan Family Dentistry offers affordable teeth whitening options to fit your budget.
