What is Professional Teeth Whitening?

Professional teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental treatment designed to lighten the color of your natural tooth enamel, providing a brighter, whiter, more radiant smile. Unlike over-the-counter whitening products, professional teeth whitening is performed under the guidance of experienced dentists using high-quality materials and custom-fitted trays. This ensures a more effective and safer whitening process, tailored specifically to your dental needs. Whether your teeth have become discolored due to aging, medications, or lifestyle factors, professional teeth whitening can significantly enhance the appearance of your smile.

The Benefits of Teeth Whitening

Choosing professional teeth whitening offers numerous benefits over other whitening methods:

  • Superior Results: Achieve significantly whiter teeth compared to over-the-counter products.
  • Customized Treatment: The process is tailored to your unique dental structure, ensuring even and consistent results.
  • Quick and Effective: Professional whitening delivers noticeable results in a shorter period of time.
  • Safe and Monitored: The procedure is carefully monitored by dental professionals, minimizing the risk of gum irritation and tooth sensitivity.
  • Boosted Confidence: A whiter smile can enhance your overall appearance, boosting your confidence in social and professional settings.

Is Cosmetic Teeth Whitening Safe?

Yes. Our process is devoted to the safest and most effective techniques for professional teeth whitening. We make your trays so they mold to your teeth perfectly, with no gap or overlap on the gumline, and we use the highest quality teeth whitening products for spectacular, natural-looking results.

Dr. Rifkin and Dr. Raanan understand having brighter, whiter teeth has become one of the most significant aesthetic concerns of many dental patients. Teeth whitening (sometimes called "bleaching") is a simple and non-invasive dental treatment that can change the color of your natural tooth enamel. For individuals whose teeth are stained, or that have unattractive color, tooth whitening offers a relatively simple way to enhance and beautify your smile.

Other Teeth Whitening Options

While professional teeth whitening is highly effective, there are other options available to achieve a brighter smile:

Dental Veneers

Dental veneers are thin shells of porcelain that cover the front surface of the teeth, providing a more permanent solution to discoloration and other aesthetic concerns. They are ideal for those with deeply stained teeth or those looking to correct additional imperfections such as gaps, chips, or uneven teeth.

Dental Crowns

Crowns are used to encase the entire tooth, often used when a tooth is severely discolored or damaged. Dental crowns not only improve the appearance of the tooth but also add strength and durability.

Over-the-Counter Whitening Products

These include whitening strips, gels, and toothpaste. While accessible and easy to use, these products typically offer less dramatic results and may take longer to achieve noticeable improvements. Additionally, they lack the customization and professional oversight that comes with in-office teeth whitening treatments, which can lead to uneven whitening or increased sensitivity.

Is Professional Teeth Whitening Right for You?

Consider professional teeth whitening if you're dealing with any of the following issues:

  • Natural Wear of Enamel: Over time, the enamel on your teeth can wear down, leading to a duller appearance.
  • Fluorosis: Discoloration resulting from excessive fluoride exposure during tooth development can affect the color of your enamel.
  • Medication-Induced Staining: Certain medications, like tetracycline, can cause your enamel to become stained or discolored.
  • Yellow or Brown Stains: If your teeth have yellowed or developed brown stains due to aging, diet, or lifestyle factors, whitening can help restore their brightness.
  • Special Occasions: If you have an important event coming up where you'll be in the spotlight, teeth whitening can give you a radiant smile that's picture-perfect.

The Teeth Whitening Procedure

  1. First Visit: During your initial appointment, impressions of your teeth will be taken to create custom-fitted whitening trays. These trays are designed to fit snugly against your teeth, ensuring even application of the whitening gel without irritating your gums.
  2. Second Visit: Once your trays are ready, you'll return to the office to try them on and receive your whitening gel. Depending on the severity of the staining and your desired level of whitening, you may be instructed to wear the trays either twice a day for 30 minutes or overnight for a period of two weeks.

Throughout the process, Drs. Rifkin and Raanan monitor your progress to ensure the best possible results. While some sensitivity may occur during the treatment, this is temporary and should subside shortly after completing the regimen.

Teeth Whitening Results

The results of professional teeth whitening can be transformative, with many patients achieving teeth that are several shades lighter. How long these results last can vary depending on your lifestyle and oral hygiene habits. Typically, the effects can last from six months to two years, but maintenance is key to preserving your bright smile.

To maintain your results:

  • Avoid Staining Foods and Drinks: Limit your intake of coffee, tea, red wine, and other foods that can stain your teeth.
  • Practice Good Oral Hygiene: Regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups will help keep your teeth clean and your whitening results intact.
  • Touch-Up Treatments: Periodic touch-up treatments, as recommended by your dentist, can help maintain the brightness of your smile over time.

Is Teeth Whitening Permanent?

The effects of teeth whitening are not permanent. It is likely that a touch-up will be needed every few years. Such procedures are needed more often for patients who smoke, and those who drink wine, tea or coffee.

Because teeth whitening is only effective on natural tooth enamel, it is important to evaluate replacement of any old fillings, crowns, or other dental modifications. Replacement of such restorations will need to be done after teeth bleaching, so they can be properly color matched to the newly bleached teeth.
