Want a Brighter Smile? Here’s What to Know About Professional Teeth Whitening

A radiant, white smile can boost your confidence and help you feel your best. But daily habits, aging, and certain foods and drinks can cause teeth to lose their brightness over time. If you’re frustrated by stains or yellowing that won’t go away with brushing alone, you might be considering professional teeth whitening.

What Causes Tooth Discoloration?

Tooth discoloration is often the result of surface stains (extrinsic) from coffee, tea, red wine, or smoking. Other discoloration, known as intrinsic stains, can occur from within the tooth due to medication, trauma, or aging. While regular dental hygiene helps, these stains sometimes require professional attention to remove.
 

How Does Professional Teeth Whitening Work?

Professional teeth whitening performed in a dental office uses a higher concentration of whitening agents than products available in stores. Over-the-counter whitening products, such as strips and trays, often provide limited and uneven results, and may take weeks to show noticeable improvement. They can also cause gum irritation if not used properly. At Woodbury Family Dentistry, we carefully protect your gums and soft tissues, then apply a professional-grade whitening gel to your teeth for safer, more effective, and longer-lasting results.
 

Benefits of Professional Teeth Whitening

• Faster Results: Most patients see noticeable results after just one session.

• Even Whitening: Our dentists ensure that the whitening solution is applied evenly for a consistent result.

• Safe and Comfortable: We monitor the process to minimize sensitivity and protect your gums.

• Long-Lasting: Professional whitening can offer results that last much longer than store-bought kits, especially with good oral hygiene.

Tips to Maintain Your Brighter Smile

• Brush and floss daily to remove surface stains.

• Limit staining foods and beverages.

• Visit our office for regular cleanings and checkups.

• Ask us about touch-up whitening treatments if needed.

Is Teeth Whitening Right for You?

Professional whitening is safe and effective for most healthy adults. However, it may not be suitable if you have dental restorations such as crowns or veneers, or if you have sensitive teeth or gum disease. During your visit, we’ll discuss your options and recommend the best approach for your unique smile.
