Teeth Whitening

Is your smile not as bright as before? Noticing yellow hues or discoloration? There’s an effective solution—professional teeth whitening can help you get your radiant smile back. At Chelsea Comprehensive Dental, we provide expert whitening treatments tailored to your needs.

What Is Teeth Whitening?

Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure that removes stains and lightens the color of your teeth. It’s a quick and effective way to improve the appearance of your smile, often in a single treatment.

How Does Teeth Whitening Work?

There are two types of professional whitening treatments:

  • In-office Whitening: This fast, professional-grade treatment uses a powerful whitening gel applied to your teeth. A special light is then used to activate the gel, breaking down stains and lightening your teeth in just one visit.
  • Take-home Trays: Custom-made trays are designed to fit your teeth perfectly. You’ll fill the trays with a professional-strength whitening gel and wear them at home for the recommended time each day. The whitening process is gradual, with results appearing over a few weeks.

What Type of Stains Can Teeth Whitening Target?

Teeth whitening can effectively target a variety of stains, including:

  • Surface stains caused by coffee, tea, red wine, and smoking
  • Yellowing from the natural aging process
  • Those caused by poor dental hygiene habits

However, teeth whitening may not work as well on deep, intrinsic stains caused by certain medications or trauma. In that case, dental veneers are a better option.

How Long Do Teeth Whitening Results Last?

The results of teeth whitening can last anywhere from several months to a year, depending on your lifestyle and oral hygiene habits. Avoiding stain-causing foods, drinks, and tobacco, along with regular brushing and professional cleanings, can help extend your results.
