A bright, radiant smile is often associated with confidence, health, and beauty. However, over time, it’s common for teeth to become stained or discolored due to factors like coffee, tea, red wine, smoking, and even certain medications. If you’ve noticed that your smile isn’t as bright as it once was, professional teeth whitening services at Allen & Washington Dental Office can help you restore the brilliance of your teeth safely and effectively.
There are many teeth whitening products available over the counter, from whitening strips to toothpaste and DIY kits. While these can provide some level of brightness, they often fall short in delivering the dramatic and lasting results that professional treatments offer. Here’s why professional teeth whitening stands out:
Customized Treatment: At Allen & Washington Dental Office, our teeth whitening services are tailored to your specific needs. We assess the current shade of your teeth and develop a whitening plan that will help you achieve the results you desire, ensuring even whitening across all teeth.
Faster and More Effective Results: Over-the-counter products can take weeks to show minimal results. With professional teeth whitening, you can see significant improvement after just one session. Our advanced whitening systems use powerful, yet safe, bleaching agents that lighten your teeth several shades in a single visit.
Longer-Lasting Effects: Professional treatments are designed to provide long-lasting results. Our team will also provide guidance on how to maintain your white smile at home, so you can enjoy your brighter smile for months or even years with proper care.
Safe and Comfortable Experience: One of the major benefits of professional whitening is the safety and comfort it provides. Our dentists are highly trained to apply the whitening agent without harming your enamel or irritating your gums, ensuring a pain-free experience with minimal sensitivity afterward.
During your appointment, our dentist will thoroughly clean your teeth to remove any surface stains and plaque. Next, a protective gel is applied to your gums to shield them from the whitening agent. Once your gums are protected, the professional-strength whitening gel is applied to your teeth.
To enhance the whitening process, a special light or laser may be used to activate the gel, allowing it to break down stains and discoloration more effectively. The entire process usually takes around 60 to 90 minutes, and you’ll walk out of the office with a visibly whiter smile.
Once you’ve achieved your desired level of whiteness, maintaining it is key. Our team will provide you with aftercare tips, such as:
Brushing twice a day with a whitening toothpaste
Flossing regularly to prevent stains between teeth
Limiting the intake of stain-causing foods and drinks like coffee, tea, and red wine
Scheduling regular dental cleanings to keep your smile fresh and bright
