Customizing Your Teeth Whitening Experience
A bright, healthy-looking smile significantly boosts self-confidence and enhances overall appearance. While over-the-counter teeth whitening products are widely available, professional teeth whitening is the most effective way to achieve a long-lasting, dramatically whiter smile. At Pinnacle Dental, we offer personalized teeth whitening options to suit your needs, whether you prefer in-office teeth whitening or custom at-home whitening kits.
If you’re ready to achieve a whiter smile, contact our Farmington dental office at (860) 470-3660 to schedule your consultation.
In-Office Teeth Whitening Treatments
In-office teeth whitening is one of the most popular choices for patients who desire fast, noticeable results. This treatment involves the application of a professional-strength bleaching agent to the teeth, activated by a special light or laser.
In just one session, which typically lasts around an hour, you can enjoy significantly whiter teeth. This method is ideal for patients with deep stains caused by coffee, wine, or smoking, as well as those looking for immediate results.
Depending on your preferences and your dentist’s offerings, in-office whitening treatments may include:
- Zoom! Teeth Whitening
- Opalescence Boost
- BriteSmile
- KöR Whitening
- Laser Teeth Whitening
At-Home Teeth Whitening
We offer professional at-home teeth whitening kits for patients who prefer to whiten their teeth at their own pace. These kits come with custom-made trays, ensuring a precise fit for your teeth, along with a professional-grade whitening gel. While this option may take longer than in-office treatments, it offers flexibility and excellent results with proper use over time.
At-home whitening treatments are a great solution for those looking for convenience and affordability without compromising on effectiveness.
Teeth Whitening for Sensitive Teeth
Some patients may experience tooth sensitivity during or after teeth whitening treatments. If you have sensitive teeth, don’t worry—there are several options to help make the process more comfortable:
- Choose a dentist experienced in treating sensitive teeth, like the team at Pinnacle Dental, to ensure a tailored approach.
- Use a lower-strength whitening gel to reduce the risk of sensitivity.
- Apply desensitizing agents before or after treatment to soothe your teeth.
- Consider at-home whitening for a slower, more gradual whitening process.
Avoid over-the-counter products like teeth whitening strips or whitening toothpaste if you have sensitivity concerns. Professional treatments are safer and more controlled.
Frequently Asked Questions
While professional treatments can remove many surface stains, deep intrinsic stains caused by medications, trauma, or genetics may not fully respond. For these cases, your dentist may recommend additional treatments like porcelain veneers or dental bonding.
Teeth whitening is most effective on natural teeth. Dental restorations like crowns, veneers, or fillings will not respond to whitening treatments, so it’s essential to discuss your options with your dentist.
Teeth whitening treatments aren’t recommended for individuals with braces because the bleaching agent cannot penetrate the brackets. However, after your braces are removed, professional whitening can help brighten your smile.
Most dentists recommend waiting at least six months between professional teeth whitening treatments to prevent sensitivity and enamel damage.
