What Is Teeth Whitening?

Over time, your teeth might become stained from things you eat and drink, like coffee, tea, or berries. Whitening treatments help remove these stains, making your teeth appear whiter and brighter. It is like a mini-makeover for your smile.

What Are the Benefits of Teeth Whitening?

Many people seek teeth whitening solutions since they have many benefits, including the following:

 

  • Quick and Simple: Teeth whitening is one of the fastest and most straightforward cosmetic dentistry procedures that deliver noticeable smile transformations. 
  • Affordable Cosmetic Treatment: You don't have to break the bank to get that celebrity smile.
  • Instant Confidence Boost: Whiter teeth will leave you smiling more, feeling confident, and even looking younger.

Over-the-Counter Teeth Whitening Options

The following are some of the most common, over-the-counter whitening options. Make sure to consult with our team at Afton Dental before starting any whitening treatments to avoid damage to your teeth and gums. 

 

  • Paint-On Whiteners: Available over-the-counter, these whiteners are less expensive but also less effective than other whitening methods. You will brush the gel onto the teeth, forming a film that eventually dissolves. We advise you to consult with us before using this option. 
  • Teeth Whitening Strips: These are thin plastic strips with a hydrogen peroxide layer designed for your upper and lower teeth. They are typically worn twice daily for 30 minutes, with varying treatment durations.
  • Whitening Toothpaste and  Mouthwash: These affordable products remove surface stains using mild abrasives. They do not change the intrinsic tooth color but can offer a slight brightening effect.

Professional Teeth Whitening Options

For the best and safest results, consider professional teeth whitening. Our team at Afton Dental is happy to offer in-office and at-home whitening to deliver stunning smile transformations. 

 

  • Professional In-Office Whitening: In-office whitening involves the use of a professional-grade whitening gel to lift tooth stains and discoloration. The treatment may include using a whitening lamp or laser to accelerate and enhance the whitening treatment. In-office treatments whiten and brighten your smile several shades in one office visit!
  • At Home-Teeth Tray Bleaching: This professional whitening option offers the best home whitening results. It involves the use of custom trays made from impressions of your mouth and a special, peroxide-based whitening gel we provide. Most individuals report dramatic results within 10-14 days, with some noticing changes as soon as 3-5 days.
