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.

The office manager was especially kind in helping me reschedule due to an emergency with my son. Now that I finally made it in, it was lovely to see the offices were beautifully renovated. But most of all, the entire staff creates a warm, caring environment. Pleased to say I’ll be sticking with Pinnacle Dental!

My hygienist Melissa was very knowledgeable and friendly. One of the best cleanings I’ve ever had. I’ll definitely be back!

— Christina J.C.

I am nervous about going to the dentist in the first place but, I met with Dr. Kuzman first and he explained the procedure. I went with the oral sedation which was the best decision for me. The staff are pleasant and attentive. I live in Florida now but come home every 6 months and he will definitely be my dentist from now on.Christina at the main office was very helpful with my insurance and very pleasant. Thank you Pinnacle Dental

Dr. Kuzmin created a professional environment with highly- skilled people in all positions. The office setting is very relaxed with state-of-the-art equipment. Highly-recommend Pinnacle Dental.

— Linda M.

Dr. Kuzmin and his team are absolutely amazing. They are able to put you at ease, and he clearly takes pride in his work! He literally fixed my smile and I can’t thank him enough. My 1st encounter with Dr. Kuzmin was for a chipped front tooth that I kept chipping for about a decade, which (unfortunately) eventually required a crown. He immediately started the process and it looks exactly like my real tooth. I can’t stop smiling now. I live about 35 minutes from his office and I will happily continue to take the drive because a good dentist with compassion is extremely hard to find! I highly recommend Pinnacle Dental with Dr. Kuzmin and his wonderful team 10/10!
