Professional Teeth Whitening

Yes! Professional, in-office teeth whitening is considered safe when performed by trained providers. If you have specific concerns or existing dental conditions, it’s always a good idea to speak with your dentist beforehand. 

Our in-office cosmetic teeth whitening uses a professional-strength bleaching gel paired with a high-quality blue LED light to safely and effectively brighten your smile. This treatment delivers stronger results than at-home kits due to its higher concentration of whitening agents and enhanced LED output. 

1. Mouth is prepped for the treatment, color determined, and before photos are taken.
2. Gum protection is applied.
3. Whitening agent is applied - We use either 16% or 25% hydrogen peroxide gels, depending on brightness desired.
4. Blue LED Light is applied during 3-4, 15 minute intervals.
5. Remineralization treatment is applied and left on for 5 minutes to prevent post treatment sensitivity.

Cons

Possible Sensitivity:
Some clients may experience temporary tooth or gum sensitivity, though this is uncommon.

Short-Term Discomfort:
While typically mild and brief, sensitivity can cause temporary discomfort for certain individuals.

Time in Office:
Even though treatment is fast, it still requires an appointment, and some clients may benefit from more than one session for maximum brightness.

Variable Results:
Whitening outcomes can vary depending on factors such as natural tooth color, types of staining, and overall oral health.

LED teeth whitening is a modern and highly effective way to achieve a brighter, more radiant smile. Using professional-strength LED light to activate and enhance the whitening gel, this treatment delivers noticeable results in a shorter amount of time. It is a safe, efficient, and comfortable option for anyone wanting quick improvements in tooth brightness.

The blue LED light energizes the whitening agent, typically hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, helping it break down stains more quickly. Through this photochemical reaction, the LED light accelerates the bleaching process and lifts discoloration from the enamel for a cleaner, whiter smile.

Most adults are good candidates for in-office teeth whitening, but it’s best to check with your dentist first to ensure there are no underlying dental concerns. 

An in-office whitening session typically takes about 1 to 1.5 hours, depending on the specific treatment plan and the desired level of whitening.

Your results can last anywhere from a few months to a couple of years, depending on how well you care for your teeth and the foods, drinks, and habits that may cause staining.

To maintain your whitening results, practice good oral hygiene, avoid staining foods and drinks, use whitening toothpaste, and consider touch-up treatments as recommended. Please refer to the after care section for instructions to follow immediately after your session. 

If sensitivity occurs, try a remineralizing product or a toothpaste for sensitive teeth, and steer clear of extremely hot or cold foods and drinks. Your technician will send you home with products to help reduce any discomfort.
