We are pleased to offer a range of cosmetic dentistry solutions, including teeth whitening, to help you achieve a brighter, whiter smile that you are proud to show off. Are you ready to smile your best?

What Is Teeth Whitening?

Teeth whitening involves the use of whitening agents, including peroxide-based gels, to remove stains and discoloration, leaving your teeth looking whiter and brighter. There are many over-the-counter teeth whitening options to choose from. However, the safest and most effective whitening treatments are those performed under a dental professional's care. 

Why Choose Teeth Whitening?

There are many reasons you may want to consider teeth whitening. Here are just a few:

 

  • To remove stains from your teeth: Teeth can become dull and discolored due to a variety of factors, including coffee, tea, smoking, and certain foods. Whitening can virtually erase these stains and restore your teeth to their natural whiteness.
  • To improve your appearance: A brighter smile can make you look and feel more confident.
  • To brighten your teeth for a special occasion: If you have a big event coming up, such as a job interview, wedding, or long-awaited vacation, teeth whitening can help you look and feel your best.

What Are Your Teeth Whitening Options?

There are two main types of teeth whitening: professional and over-the-counter whitening.

Professional whitening: In-office whitening is the most effective way to brighten your smile. It involves applying a whitening gel to your tooth surfaces and using a special light to activate the gel. The treatment typically takes about an hour, leaving your smile several shades whiter and brighter. If you would rather whiten your teeth at home, we are happy to offer at-home whitening kits, including custom trays and professional whitening gel. 

 

At-home whitening: There are many over-the-counter whitening options, including paint-on-teeth whiteners, whitening strips, toothpaste, and mouthwash. You have probably also seen teeth whitening advertisements promising Hollywood-worthy smiles. Unfortunately, many of these whiteners fail to deliver your desired results, and some may even harm your teeth and gums. For the best and safest whitening results, consider professional whitening under the care of your trusted team at Afton Dental. 

Which Type of Teeth Whitening Is Right for You?

The ideal teeth whitening treatment for you will depend on your unique needs and individual preferences. If you want the fastest and most effective results, in-office whitening is the best option. If you would rather whiten your teeth at home, consider our professional at-home whitening treatments.
